I with the hand plane guys on this one, except my technique might be a little different. I don't use a #7 or 8 plane, since all you need to do is get board so that it will sit flat on your bench top...
The front ramp is 45 degrees. I'll start with the chamfering the wedge before I'll attempt to chisel the front ramp more, that osage is some HARD stuff, and wouldn't be fun to chisel!
I had no...
I really don't know who we had do the heat treating. And there is no way for me to compare these blade to hock as I don't have any hock blades! So, sorry I really can't answer either of your...
One of the guys purchased 1 1/2", and 2" O1 bar stock from I think McMaster. Another member was all set up to cut the blades to length and milled the bevel angle. Another member then sent them out to...
You do make a good point, when I was playing with it and had it set to cut a thicker shaving, they did exit a lot better than the light fluffy stuff.
Thanks,

Here are some pictures of my first attempt at building a wood smoother.
The blade came from my woodworking group, who purchased some O1 stock, and other members cut, rough milled the bevel, and had...
I have the Delta TS350, and Jim brought up some valid points.
The Delta TS350 does actually have an induction motor, not a noisely universal motor, which is nice, its a quiet running, decent...
Sorry guys, forgot it in the original post, but yes, the primary wood is soft maple. This was some very colorful maple that my brother and I got from fellow that does some sawing. It has tons of...
Very nice design! What kind of gap do you have around those drawers? They look great.
Also, where did you get that plane?

This is a hope chest that I made for my wife's Christmas gift. It is my own design, and it meant to compliment the design and style of the jewelry chest I made for her earlier this year (see this...
The 4212 really is a nice set-up. I just pulled mine out from under the bench yesterday, chucked up the router bit in my router, set the depth using the gauge on the side of the jig and made some...
The 4212 dovetail jig is the new jig PC came out with earlier this year. I believe your refering to the older model. The new one has features built into it to set the bit depth consistantly time and...
It is ambrosia (wormy) maple. Although a lot of the batch I got had very little of it, and quite a bit of it was figured, not bad stuff for $1.13 bd ft.

I used Knape and Vogt 8080EZ series hardware for the doors, they seem very well made and weren't difficult to install. Including the door thickness (3/4") the door and hardware take up about 1 3/8"...
It is finished with BLO/Urethane/MS wiped on, about three coats, 3M sythenic steel wool inbetween coats and after to knock down the gloss further.
I actually made the molding for the top,...
Well, I finally finished up the T.V. armiore I've been working on and off on since last August (I think :confused: ). All solid soft maple construction except for the back panel and the drawer...
Absolutely beautiful cabinet Takeshi! I have only one concern, and since I am far from being an expert, maybe other here can help explain.

My mom has used pledge for years and years, what is it that makes this bad to use? :confused:
Just wondering,

Scott,
Thats why I decided to do something out of the ordinary, I've been in two weddings, both of my brothers. The first one, I honestly don't remember what he gave me, the second one gave me a...
John,
I truely hope and believe that I will never need to have another wedding! Maybe a renewal of our vows!
Erin,
The waves in the top were a bit of an experiment, I roughed them out...
The jewelry boxes for the bridesmaids were finished with a blo/mineral spirits/poly brew. The knife handles were finished with good old Tru-oil, and the Jewelry Chest I made for my wife was finished...
Hey Guys,
I'm back to reality from my wedding and honeymoon, the wedding went off without a hitch and was a great time, and the honeymoon in Aruba was just awesome! :D
I wanted to share some...
LOL......we have a small house, a small bedroom.........and an even smaller budget, so this should work just fine for now!! It least I hope it takes a while to fill this one up!
Karl,
I would measure it to get the exact dimensions, but I've already boxed it and wrapped it up.:D It is approx. 15in tall, 11in wide, and 6 3/8in wide.
Thanks,
John
