Brady: I submitted my claim to Paypal late last week (taxes and life intervened since I last posted). They set a deadline for resolution of 3 weeks. I'm now waiting to hear from Mr. Kuc, which has...
Thanks for the feedback. I will contact Paypal to see what they can do.
Regarding the other observations/comments, during the pandemic I tried to make a monthly purchase of some hand tool from...
I am not sure if this is the correct forum for this post but since it is hand-tool related I thought it appropriate.
I ordered a couple of items from Wiktor Kuc of wktools.com about 16 months...
Derek: It looks awesome. Your "utility" table looks nicer than most people's primary work bench.
I don't know if these are in your price range but Infinity Tools offers a replacement set of HSS knives for the DW 735, they are currently going for $90. I've liked their saw blades, haven't had a...
I got a DX-60 block plane and RH edge plane, the edge plane was an impulse buy. I had a Scrub plane in my cart but it vanished before checkout. I was hoping they might have some PM-V11 chisels...
That mitre box and saw look beautiful.
Prashun: I own the DeWalt DWE 7491RS, I've had it for little over a year now. It's a nice dependable accurate saw. I really like the ease with which I can set it up and disassemble when I'm done. ...
Nice find, 6" braces don't seem to show up that often but they can be pretty handy in tight spaces.
Lee Valley offers a plane screwdriver, look for item #50K3901; it should do the trick.
I was in the local Woodcraft store last weekend and they had 7 or 8 Sawstop units loaded on pallets in the store. It doesn't seem like they are having problems obtaining products.
I need to replace the belts and sleeves on my Ridgid Spindle Sander, they are getting pretty worn. Does everyone just buy a generic brand or a name brand like Norton or Klingspor?
If you are looking for new, as said above Bad Axe makes panel saws and Lee Valley carries Pax panel saws.
All the major manufacturers such as Disston, Atkins, Simonds, etc. all made panels saw in...
I got a set of the curly maple paring chisels about 3-4 years ago. They look nice but there are some variations in coloring and patterns between each.
I've got a California Air Tools compressor #4610 (4.6 gallons) and will attest to it being very quiet. I had an old Porter-Cable pancake style compressor and when the compressor kicked in, just...
My kids in Fairfax County Virginia take what is called a Design Class but it is actually shop class. They have made cutting boards, turned pens and bowls, etc. They just don't call it shop anymore....
Dan: Sorry to hear about your troubles. The couple of times I have had to email them about something they were pretty prompt in replying. Maybe not the next day but usually within 2 or 3 business...
Another vote for the DeWalt DW735, I've had one for years and love it. You can also get high quality HSS and carbide blades for it that provide an extremely smooth finish and last longer than the...
Tyler: I've had the CT15 for about a year now and I'm very happy with it. I don't have any other Festool containers so I don't need the ability to hook additional Systainers on it. I use it for...
Dick: That is a nice looking fence. Do you have any shop drawings on it that you would be willing to share? I just bought a DW7491RS two weeks and I'm slowly upgrading it.
Thanks.
Have you read any of his books on workbenches? Throughout every one, he talks about finding the style of bench that works for you and I doubt that he would argue with any of your three design...
I pick mine up at Vienna Hardwoods in Fairfax, Virginia (703-255-9663). That may be a drive for you but you can always make a day of it. I placed an order last spring and it took about 3-4 days for...
I've got a Dadonator and like it very much. I didn't realize that it was manufactured by Amana, nothing on the blades mentions Amana.
I've got the Bosch Glide as well and like it. Have you looked at an older DeWalt/AMF radial arm saw? They are excellent for cross cuts, you might find one on Craigslist in your price range.
