Thanks. Insert sarcasm font.

As I said, I posted this after reviewing Neanderthal threads back to 2010. Due diligence done. I’m on page 707 right now (counting up to the oldest page, currently...

Thanks Derek. Was hoping you were up and about over there!

Kevin, thanks. Just to be clear I’ve been honing for a long time, mainly freehand but also have a drawer full of jigs. The CBN wheel is a new gift. Before that I could never get happy with the...

After reading posts from about 600 of the previous Neader pages (skimmed them over several months) I’m still confused about what happens when honing a chisel or plane blade after hollow grinding, be...

Anyone know when the LN showroom will reopen? Traveling again to Camden this early summer, and would like to get some hands-on time, plus drop some money at Liberty Tool.

Thanks. Jon.

I recently purchased two of the Crucible holdfasts, which fit a 1” hole. Impulse buy, etc….I earlier was gifted a pair of Peter Ross 3/4” holdfasts. The Crucible HF’s look really cool and apparently...

Thanks Jim, Edward and Andrew. Good stuff. Too bad we don’t have a like button.

George, this may be the oldest recovery of a thread in SMC history, and I hope I’m not breaking any forum rules, but as a fellow luthier and guitar/mando/fiddle player I really wanted to take this...

Yeah, ongoing problem with the supply chain I guess. My left hand is attached to my left shoulder, which just had rotator cuff repair. Which is no picnic if any of you have had that done. Even when...

Thank you Jim and others. Appreciate the info and your time and effort in sending it. I need to develop better old tool knowledge.

I’m mainly looking at the newer options from LV and LN do would...

I frequently need various types of rabbets in my dory boat building. Most recently I needed to recess a full length very thick brass piano hinge. Often these parts are already attached, and b/c of...

I’m amazed there aren’t more replies to this thread. I’ve greatly enjoyed my time here and learned a lot. Thanks Keith for a wonderful forum.

Once again, where is the “like” button?

Scott, I’m not sure I’ve ever seen a resolution burned with a consecutive post before! 😀😃

Malcolm, I know this is really old but was diffing through searches of custom planes (thinking of building my own) and found this. Just wanted to say I always enjoy your posts. Always courteous,...

Go big or go home Jim! :)

Smart wife!


We are so easy.

I have a Rinnai older model in my garage, uninsulated with concrete floor, and a newer model Rinnai ES38 (I think) in my newer wood floor insulated shop. Both work great and keep me warm with almost...

Here is the link from a Google search, since I couldn’t get the SMC search function to find it with “veritas” or “side clamp”.

Re headroom. In my 40 x 30’ shop half of it is 10’ headroom, over the machine area. In the other half, where I build boats I used scissor trusses to get more headroom. Wish I had done the entire shop...

I’m happy with my CV with the larger impeller for my one person shop. I have on occasion had friends over w two tools on at the same time and it worked fine. But I’m not a duct collection snob or...

Down the line, going with another MiniMax slider Jim?

This is good news for all of us shop builders!
