I use my Tormek to sharpen my carving gouges and v gouges.
I've been using a Tormek for quite awhile so long in fact I've completely worn out my first machine.
It takes time and patience and the...

Thanks Fred.

I had a itch to carve a face for my gate to my shop. The wood is jacaranda with a exterior oil base stain for longevity.
Jacaranda is very good carving wood i cuts nicely. My piece was air dried...

I think grooves in the bottom of planes are kinda cool and interesting reminds me of my favorite Japanese chisels. You are correct they probably don’t have less friction.:o My lie Neilson foreplane...

Looks great.
Let us know when they open I’ll have a triple xtra hot latte. And a blueberry muffin 🙂
Hickory bookmactched panels?

Does it have the grooves in the bottom to reduce friction?

Milling machine tooling or bits are kinda short aren’t they?
I have a couple bits I bought for cutting Brussels quadrant hinges. Maybe they can cut one inch deep

After seeing Derek’s setup that looks very interesting and appealing. Derek you always have nice setups
I realized something about the Tormek that’s not talked about.
The Tormek is superbly...

I felt like I should have been more clear about grinding away and into. Not to you Kevin I believe you understand.
This is for the one passing by and reading maybe not understanding. The Tormek has...

What are they, besides grinding planer blades?[/QUOTE]

One advantage the Tormek has over regular bench grinding is tools can be ground away or in. The slow removal of steel using a stone is...

I have the 1400 last year the bearings need to be replaced so I did that. I bought it when they first came out it’s a great router compared to the porter cable model I used to use.
Really don’t...

I really like my Tormek. I have use the stones on mines. I guarantee there are things you can do on a Tormek that cannot be done on a regular bench grinder or sharpening stones.
I does take time to...

For sure it will help make flat cuts so your calibration will be time well spent. Remember the glide is a good trim saw for cutting crown molding baseboard. For solid wood don’t expect it to be...

All those blades you mention are great.
I have the Forrest chop master. I guess I’ve strayed from Boschs recommendation for blade thickness.
I’ve had my Blade sharpened at least twice.
Good Luck

I have a Bosch glide. The manual has good instructions how to adjust the saw that’s what I followed. I would like to suggest to get a good blade. The one that comes with saw sometimes are poor.
Too...

My suggestion is to push to tool further back near or at the cord. That’s what was recommended to me by a Festool rep.
I get better a surface alignment. Using his suggestion
Good Luck

Ha I’ll call your chain table saw and raise you a much safer artisan saw. :)

Maybe your last pic is deceiving me?
Your chisel doesn’t look sharped all the way to the edge. I have one kanna it’s blade is way too hard for my liking. The steel has large grains of carbide or...

How about a pressure washer? I never really knew how bad ass a good pressure washer can be. I cut through my shoe with mine when I first got it. Nothing clean out the smoker like a pressure wash.
I...

I don’t think jointers are dangerous at all.
Keep the knives sharp so the cut is effortless that’s the key. Unless my boards are long I sit in a chair and face my boards just the weight of a board...

The Laguna Resaw King used to be stellite laguna tools never admitted it but the guy the used sharpen blades for me said it was. I liked stellite thought it cut faster then carbide. It also left a...

I remember seeing a shaft broken off next to the bearing before. Don’t remember where. I do remember it’s due to the bearing scoring the shaft. Possibly someone installed the wrong bearing.
Its a...

From the getting places :)

The jointer is a very important machine to have. You can quickly cut a flat surface on a oddly shaped board then make a edge square to this face.From there you can go to the planer or your tablesaw...

I like the smell of mineral oil and linseed oil. Once a year I tru up the top of my bench and mix whatever half cans I have left over. Except Rubio monocoat it’s too expensive
Good Luck
