    Pretty late in responding to this, but I would just look for basic naval architecture textbooks for the design aspect of it. I'm a naval architect by trade, also in the Seattle area. The same...

    Mine holds my planer, but nothing else on the other side. I sized it so that in the "down" position it fits under my table saw wing to save space. Then I put screws on the side to hold my extra...

    I use the cheap knock off link belts from harbor freight. Work great for me. Never needed adjusting.

    Not in one pass, but if you offset the jig so the curve is off center, you can then flip the board around for a second pass. Clean it up with some scrapers.

    I wouldn't necessarily put too much thought into it. I have a flip top station for my Dewalt 735 with nothing else on the other side. When not in use it tucks up under my table saw wing. It's much...

    As was said, I haven't found a stack that doesn't have that. If it's going to be a show face (like an extra long through tenon), you can make it slightly oversized and clean it up with a rabbeting...

    One option is to buy a kit and make one. Handles aren't too difficult to make. Will cost you under $100, and a few hours worth of work. I bought my kit from Blackburn tools.

    Being in the thick of things now with an 8-month old, I would also agree with buying a glider, and an ottoman for a foot stool. I can recommend the one we bought from crate and barrel. Super...

    Midnight east coast time tonight. All the good tools will sell out within 30 min or an hour. And be prepared for the site to crash for the first 10-15min.

    The few times I've needed it I just clamped 2 pieces of wood together and called it good. I threw it in my leg vise, but you could just as easy make one with a 90 deg bend and clamp that to a...

    Just don't cheap out and buy the cheap versions of the birch ply at Crosscut. Horrible stuff that delaminated way worse than anything I've bought at Home Depot. I believe it was the $35 or $40/sheet...

    Production cost. It's cheaper and easier to do it with a molded spine than a metal spine. That turns into savings for the customer. They had a price point to meet and likely couldn't do that with a...

    If the budget could expand slightly, you could do a Large Router plane and a small shoulder plane for $310. I'd argue that those 2 would give you more capability than another bench plane, and the new...

    Well done. I like the lid stay. What did you use for finish?



    In your camera you can change the white balance. Normally the Auto white balance does a pretty good job, however in situations like...

    I usually go by the 1.5-2x length rule as well. Longer stuff I'll use my #8, shorter things I'll use my #6. Really short things I'll use my LV bevel up smoother or a block plane.

    Not related to the hand tools aspect, but check your alignment of the blade with the miter slots. That's likely the cause of your kickback. That, or you have a concave bow in your fence.

    I paid $75 for my #8c I believe. But it required a decent amount of cleanup. I wanted the #8 since I had a #6. A #7 would be too close in size to the #6 and not offer much of a difference.

    Yes I would put veneer on the opposite side. For 5/4 material well supported you probably won't have an issue, but I've seen 3/4" ply get a slight bow in it after veneering.

    Can you get...

    Also came in to recommend Hardwicks, but it appears it's been mentioned a few times. It is by far the best hardware store I've been in. Both new and used tools alike.

    I've got that set from Stu and really like it. Haven't tried other sets though, so I can't compare. I don't think you can go wrong by buying them. It really stepped up my game compared to the "scary...

    I have one of David Barron's guides. You can get them at highland woodworking now. I had to order them directly from him when I got it last year. I can say that it helps quite a bit. I use a Lee...

    You could do it quicker by just sawing them to the final size. But then you likely wouldn't have even gaps all the way around and it may bind if you didn't make the case perfectly square. Part of...

    Looks very good. One thing that's really helped me is switching to hide glue. Either liquid or hot. Should you mess up a glue up, you can just heat it up and try again. Plus, with hot hide glue, in...
