Eh, I'm a Chevy guy anyway. Yep, I just went there.:p
I've made quite a few planes and handles, especially here lately, and I've always slapped varnish on them. This has worked good so far, but I've heard good things about using tung oil and BLO to...
I've got a pretty good headstock even if I do say so myself. I'll post pictures tomorrow.
I do. I like them a lot better than waterstones.
Lmao!!!!!!
I love infill planes. Are the cheeks and body of those mild steel or high carbon?
Machining. Machinists make some nice stuff.
Yup, that's a bark spud.
Ooooh apple's great. I love apple.
I used black oak for mine, but just about any of the ones you've listed would work. People keep saying it's gonna split but it's going strong and I use that thing a lot, in the rain too. I wouldn't...
Make it ten 'cause I am IN!
I'm personal friends with Drew. As a matter of fact, I only live a mile away from him. He says he might still take one or two students every now and then, but yes he's closing down. Him and his wife...
Yeah, like I said, this was just a thought. If I did, I wouldn't put one on my hollows and rounds, just the one I use at a right angle like beaders. Thanks though!
Mind you, this is simply a thought, I don't know if anyone else has done this. I was cutting mouldings with my moulding planes, and I was using my fingers as a fence. This is effective to a point,...
Finally, someone who admits to it too. Whenever I'm out tool hunting with friends, we'll walk into an antique shop. I'll be like, "NOBODY MOVE, there are tools in the area." They'll just look at me...
I'm not a felon, so that ain't a problem anyway. I think I'll still get a BP pistol along with a modern one. Heck, I'm a Neander anyway. I've got a shop full of antique tools, why not an antique gun....
Yes, that's another reason why I like them.
Thanks everyone for your replies and help. I have just discovered something I might like, the conversion revolver. I'll look into it a bit more though. Thanks again.
But what I don't get is, how are they so "underpowered". What makes them so different. You can hot load them and put conical bullets in them if you need to, can't you? It's just a head scratcher for...
I've been thinking about this question for a while now. Didn't see anything in the TOS against it, so here it goes. I've read a lot of good and bad about black powder arms. I've been wondering about...
Saws. I love saws. Until I bought a one-man logging saw, I had to hew all my trees down. Before my coping saw, carving was a peach, a bow saw would be better though. Of course, all of my carpentry...
Wow, that's great! I've got to say, I've never won first place.
Got a little worried when I saw that :p.
Same here. Always wanted one of those.
