Greg,

Yep, its a Chaplins. Appears to have a replacement tote and knob, the tote should be a checkered hard rubber, and the knob a painted black hardwood or possibly nickled metal. I have the larger...
I started building one of these this weekend, as done in the Autumn issue of Woodworking. I'm not sure if its the picture of it on the cover or Chris's mastery of wood and printed word. But I knew...
Based on everything you have already done, I'd tune the sled by adjusting it to the largest size panel you can or will cut with it. In theory that is the most accurate way to do it, if the large...
Did I miss something, I read that there was a GFI in the circuit protecting the outlet (and others)that the saw is plugged in to, and that it was the breaker that was tripping not the GFI. If this is...
I would say that the saw should either be on a 25a 120v circuit or a 15a 220v circuit. Odds are that the trip ratings of the Sq.D breakers are more in line with what they should be, and that is why...

I've been contemplating one of these for sometime now, it really looks as tho it could be very handy in many roles.

Cool! Thanks Ken, I'm kinda getting down to the wire on this one and didnt want to make a big mistake this late in the game.

I'm in the process of finishing a gift for the missus. I already has several coats of zinser clear shellac on it, I thought I might top coat the top with poly for more durability, but I dont think...
Shouldnt there be a means of disconnect in there somewhere?

Personally, I wouldn't dump a bunch of money into a low end plane. That being said, I've never been afraid to dump an inordinate amount of time in to one :). In my case workshop time is fun and...
On a side note, the tubes which are a ceramic, make fantastic knife sharpeners for maintaining a really good edge.

The silver solder I've used required an acid flux, in this case it was a liquid. I believe there is also acid flux in a paste form also. Come to think of it, isnt most plumbers solder a form of...
Good topic guys, I did some experimenting with one of the DT saws I made. It was originally filed 16 tpi rip with pretty much zero rake. It was a bear to start in all but fairly soft woods, and...
Yeah George, there just wasnt enuff area there for the JB. I did start to go size bigger, then figgured that I could keep that cure in the arsenal. With a little luck the SS will hold and life will...
No pics yet as I'm in attempt three at getting threads to hold. Tried two attempts with JB weld which I think would have worked just fine if there was more thread area. As it was the nicker ripped...
Thanks for all the advice! I'll swing into an auto parts store today and see what they have. I have some JB weld, but I was thinking that they have another product that is intended for machining. Bad...
UUUGH, I just got my vintage #50 tuned and set for my next home school co-op shop class. We're making picture frames with all handtools for x-mas gifts. Anyway, the #50 was set up to make the...
Wow Mike that saw handle looks sweet! The scrub looks fantastic also. I recently sorta did a #40, I picked up an orphan bed on the cheap (no blade or lever cap) I made a blade from an old used lawn...
Heres my favorite.

In my experiance Fulton planes can be fettled and tuned in to good users. The fit and finish generally doesnt meet Stanleys, or Millers Falls standards IMO. But in a user who cares? From a...
Its been said already but I'll go ahead say it again, Practice.......with a little extra practice thrown in for good measure.
I started out by practicing laying out and cutting a few through...
You said you hooked your fluke in series with the pump, is it possible that your series connections with the meter are the culprit? Try a clamp type amp meter and see if the readings are a little...
Kirk,
I'm sure I'm pointing out the obvious, but you can practice laying up brick, and take it down and hose off the mortar let it the brick dry a little and do it again. The mortar is the cheap...
I picked one of these up this am at a flea mkt. Its a identacle in size to a 60 1/2 stanley, low angle, and has a slightly thincker blade. On the side it says P&C 1945 USA. Looks like it will...
