What did Oneida say when you called them?
These planes are at a great price point. If you think about buying a drawer-bottom plane, these become quite an attractive option. They're less expensive by far than any commercial offering of...
Great stuff, John, that's truly the King of shooting boards
There was a bit of an issue with the 1st-gen Veritas torrified maple handles. Maple is not the ideal wood to put through the torrefaction process, and Veritas had to tweak their process after some...
Yes, but no. You get what you pay for, but remember, an epoxy like West Systems was developed and tested for marine applications, such as the layup of a boat's hull. When you're out at sea, and...
Since you say you want to keep it whole, that means resaw, and 7 ppi is going to be a train wreck. A frame saw at 2-3 ppi, or just buy someone a 6-pack in exchange for having them resaw it on their...
I've used festool extractors with non-Festool tools many, many times. They work great. As mentioned, adapters are plentiful. However, the festool extractors I've used have always belonged to other...
If you're looking for premium hand planes and have money to burn, Sauer and Steiner are still open for business:

I'll be interested in your results!
Solid idea and execution, as always! Definitely an improvement over what I'm using; I'll be imitating yours
With what little info we have, I'm inclined to agree with Richard V, above. It could easily be a simple case of settling, and as Richard noted, continuing to mix is your enemy, you'll just end up...
I don't understand what the problem is. The picture seems to show a swirly pour. I suppose the "before" pic, where you said things were much different, would be great. Do you have more details?
Do you know which kind of foam? Polyester resin contains styrene monomers which dissolve styrofoam, as an example of an adhesive/foam combo destined for failure....

I have an cheap Chinese anemometer I got from Amazon. I can grab the brand for you if you like. I have no idea if it's accurate but as you know, consistency is all that's really necessary. I take...
Thanks. I have a friend with a large compressor, he said I'm welcome to try it, so I may in the future.
I did the leaf blower thing this morning, and it did seem to work well. IDK if it did as...
Frank, what would you guess to be the minimum requirements for a compressor that can clean the filter in, say, under an hour?
I had a feeling the minds at SC would come through -- great suggestion on the leaf blower, and I already own one, so I'll give it a shot. Thanks, everyone.
I've had an Oneida Mini-gorilla for a bit over a year; it's working well. Its HEPA filter is getting clogged, CFM is down, and the manual makes it clear I should be blowing compressed air, between...
I agree with Keegan, above. I haven't had the pleasure of using it, but it seems nothing is wrong, the design offers every feature I could have ever dreamed of in a shooting board, and I think many...
Why can't you just measure the mortise and tenon and calculate their volumes? Subtract the tenon's volume from that of the mortise. The remainder is the volume of epoxy you'll need to occupy the...
I've owned the Fein Turbo 2 w/full HEPA for about 7 years now. I put a Dust Deputy on top, and I almost never have to change the bags or the filter, and since the bags never need changing, I vacuum...
I recently got a 20V dewalt which included 2 batteries and a charger for 99 bucks. It barely functioned, returned it, replacement barely works....I mean, I can chuck a bit, and start to drill a 1/8"...
I think it's a fantastic resource to have available on YT, and it was extremely generous of you to share your knowledge and teach how to make such a tool.
I also think you're overly concerned...
Great work, and great documentation. Thanks for the level of detail, esp on the carving!
