He does. It's beautiful.

Well... at the risk of sounding like a heretic, I don't do it. Call it a character flaw, but like a plane iron I put on a teensy "back bevel". The rest of the backs are straight /enough/ for...

Thanks, everyone.

Seems there's an embarassment of riches out there at the moment as choices go. I think I'll go to the show, hold a few of them and see what I think.

ANOTHER problem I have...

Posted this over on woodnet, but that forum changes SO fast, I'm afraid I will lose the answers. That said, apologies for the duplication.

I'm going to the woodworking show in a couple weeks...

There's a very real limit to this however; in fluid dynamics the fluid doesn't (appreciably) degrade the surface. Yes, yes, I know that over time it can, but let's not split hairs; I mean the first...

Interestingly enough, I just finished Frank Klausz' 2 day handcut dovetail class at Highland Hardware. (gloat)

Frank said pretty explicitly that the blue handled Marples that Bob mentions are...

Worry not, you can't overcook it.

Get off as much rust as you can with the razor blade first though; it makes it less messy later.

Beyond that, scotch-brite, mineral spirits, toothpicks,...

You're saying a 5 isn't a jack plane because the (stock) blade isn't cambered enough? I'm not sure I'm buying that hypothesis.

If you did that, you'd be out $40 and still have no plane. If you spend the money on a stanley (etc.), you'll still have the plane after your $40 is done, and have some practice at tuning and...

Tim, I have and use the LV one. Works fine for me, for what little I am able to play with the woodies.

Was that "Handmade Music"? I saw it for the first time the other night; it was the last episode in the 3 part "making the mandolin" series. Utterly fascinating.

Grizzly and woodworkers supply both have sub-micron bags. I used the WWS one; pricey, but works great.

(Reposted on Woodnet, no need to answer both places; I check both frequently.)

I'm about to get an 8' long, 8"-10" diameter apple tree log.

I have never had wood this, uhm, "fresh" before, so...

On another note, is it necessary to "un-set" the saw before sharpening?

Picked this up from the porch...

For really light scraping (say to take off some minor mill marks), do you guys ever use a scraper with no burr at all; just jointed?

Any success/failure stories on doing so?

Matthew,

Sent you a PM. (I only mention this since I find them almost impossible to notice when *I* get them...)

Fluoros typically last a really long time.

What don't you like about the 4' tubes?

Just as an FYI here, you didn't get outbid by $1, you just got outbid, period. If the bidder who won had a higher bid than you *BY ANY AMOUNT*, $1, $100, $10000, it only bids up to just just enough...

Thanks.

I've read that a file is good for 1 or 2 saws, max. You go by that rule? Notwithstanding, where do you buy your files?

I bought a number of old POS saws (the one good one being a...

When jointing the blade, how important is it to keep the mill file exactly perpendicular to the blade? I've seen in virtually every treatise on the subject how to make a saw jointer out of scrap if...

There are Banyans in Florida; if I recall correctly, they have at least one in the Edison/Ford Winter Estate house (http://www.edison-ford-estate.com/gardens.asp).

Ahhh, luxury. LO*M*L prefers /started/ projects!

Check out also Marc Adams' DVD on cabinetmaking. Good stuff.

I've used both these guys for loose grit and these guys for sandpaper and had good service with both. Prices were good too.
