    Suggestions like your neat idea here come up from time to time, especially when it comes to concern about the sled flexing and the wedges loosening up. I considered a lot of possibilities for fixing...

    You can't use the additional skate in the wide blade kit with most narrow blades due to interference in the blade-fastening assembly. 1/4" doesn't work and 3/8" is just a hair too small. 10mm might...

    They mean only a little bit behind the edge. A hollow is considered a good feature. It saves you a ton of time in sharpening, both initially and incrementally. Only the area next to the cutting edge...

    New Planer Sled Design ("Multiwedge")

    Hi there. I'm not a frequent poster here, but because there always seems to be a lot of chatter about jointers, planers, and combinations thereof, I thought I would share a new planer sled design...

    Huh. That's really curious, because my experience has been the polar opposite, with the Stanley (and other more upright-style) sets giving me a lot of agony over the years. I've found that after big...

    I'm glad to hear that you're working on one (I'd been wondering). To me, your $75 target would be more than reasonable if it performs as expected, and has a certain set of features. The ones that...

    Yup, I've been there. I'd say not to sweat those finer stones much; just get to know your Bester 1k now that you actually have it. I was amazed at how my attitude towards sharpening changed when I...

    They do work very fast on O1 and A2, but as others have mentioned, though, they dish a lot faster. I actually use a Select II 10k as my finishing stone, but I'd say my SP 1k is my most important...

    You should probably check out Randy Roeder's site. This page describes the premium MF bench planes; yours is a type 4. I've got a number of them, they're very nice.

    If you've got a little bit of time and a little bit of scrap, I do encourage you to try it, even if just to fool around. I found that it gave me a lot more confidence when shaping stuff.

    Hey, no problem. Your drill doesn't actually look all that bad to me, believe it or not. I just dug mine out of the box it was hiding in--I'd forgotten how smooth those things are.

    Glad you like...

    I don't particularly care if you use the image, but in the future, a little attribution would be nice (this pretty much applies to any original image you find on the web). Not that the photo is a...

    Hey, uh, isn't that the photo I took of my Millers Falls #104 for this post on my blog a little more than five years ago? If so, I don't think it's an accurate representation of yours.

    That area should have estate sales with something, but you'd definitely have to spend some time on finding them. Others here have mentioned some good sources, and I do think it's probably worth it to...

    Well, Lee Valley will sell you one that they say works. It's probably pretty good.

    (But of course, I would also say to get an old one.)

    It looks great to me, and you can easily modify it.

    For the lamb's tongue, you might try adding a bit of concavity to its leading edge, or round it out a little. I think you might be concerned...

    Another idea for supporting the tailboard is a block of wood with fairly fine-grit sandpaper glued to opposite faces.

    Among other stuff, you have two braces and a box of auger bits. Those are great, versatile, and fun tools. The braces look like they're in okay shape--you might need to do a little cleaning and...
