Have you checked the bevel angles after grinding with a protractor or angle gauge (not sure if that is the right name - the little brass wheel with cut out notches for different bevel angles)? I had...

I’m intrigued by the thought of running a blade on the saw with no tires as well! I posted the other day about some trouble shooting I’ve been doing with my new bandsaw and I never would have...
Thanks, all, for the feedback! This week is pretty busy with work so I’ll work on methodically testing things out to see if I can narrow down the source of vibration.
Should add that I do you plan on contacting the manufacturer to work through this issue but I want to also seek the wisdom of this great woodworking community.
Hello! I've mainly been a reader and sometime poster on the neanderthal forum but I recently purchased my first major power tool - a Grizzly G0555LX bandsaw. I did a lot of research beforehand and...
I have a few Woodriver chisels that I purchased at a time of “need it now” that I decided were worth taking a chance on after doing some research. I’m sure they still aren’t in the same league as...
I know of Pete Taran’s Website, but out of ignorance, does Mike Allen have one? Tried googling and didn’t find anything
I've tried a few different marking knives and so far nothing beats

I did buy a Paul Sellers style knife from...
Thanks for the input! Seems like a lot of Texas just doesn’t have much in the way of good rust hunting for old woodworking tools! I saw the flea markets but I’m not sure I’ll be able to make those....
I will be down in San Antonio, Tx for a few days next month and wonder if anyone has any suggestions for good places to rust hunt down there. If you do, and wouldn’t mind sharing, let me know!

Those look pretty good to me!
Not meaning to ignore anyone - as I mentioned before I think for the time being I'll set the iron aside and wait until I'm in between projects to give it another look and make a decision on what to...
Thanks, all, for the continued input. Given this is my first Sweetheart era plane I will definitely keep the iron. I think, for the time being, I’ll stash the iron and may at some point in the...
Thanks for the input. I should have specified that I do have a spare iron I can use - was just curious if this one would be worth the trouble.
I picked up a type 12 no. 4 yesterday at a flea market for a really good deal. It is cleaning up nicely but the worst pitting is on the back of the iron near the cutting edge.

Stewie - thanks for sharing that great resource! I ended up just going for a bead at the top/front of each shelf but I am looking for more ways to incorporate these kinds of design elements on...
Thanks! I will give it a watch!
steven, those look like beads to me! Too much for what I’m looking for on this project but good examples nonetheless. Thanks for responding!
thanks! I think I may have found what I was looking for!
Happy new year to all of you! My wife crashed early tonight so the wheels in my head are turning. I am making a simple set of shelves to help contain my growing hand plane collection and want to...
Dan,
I have the Veritas grinding jig that I use with a variable speed Delta 6" grinder and one of the norton white wheels. Never having had any experience with a grinder before this summer I did...
Steven,
In the area of the country I live in I haven't had much luck at antique shops, flea markets, etc. and have had to go to the big online auction site to find planes worth purchasing. You...
Thanks for the responses!
Jim - you are absolutely right. The drawers for a project I'm working on are 2.25" tall and I needed to take about 1/16" off of each to get them to the thickness I...
As I posted in the last thread I started on Monday of this week I stopped by an antique shop on the way to a family get together and found a Stanley No. 4 type 11 and a Sargent 410c type 4...
I scour eBay pretty regularly trying to find good deals on old tools - every once in a while i get lucky but it is usually a frustrating excercise in losing auctions at the last second because they...
