omg lobster oysters and fish so fresh and so good!

Bucket list item checked! It really is like being a kid in a candy store where you are encouraged to try all of the candy. Very fun trip to Maine too. Left with a no 62 and a fish tail chisel.

I love threads like this and appreciate all your posts! Most of my life has been spent rushing through work. As I “mature” few things bring me as much pleasure as spending the time in the workshop...

I’ve been considering for a while and just bought one from Patrick Leach. Any thoughts or advice on this tool?

Thanks Mike! The Kumiko surprisingly isn’t as hard as it looks. And it’s hard to understand an explanation of it, but it’s fairly intuitive once you get into it. The strips are cut on a block shaped...

Thanks Bill...he had some measured drawings and discussion in his book, “The Why and How of Woodworking” and I made a life size drawing. I tend to make things too big and I love his sense of...

Your right, always consider the source! And I also totally agree that when a company makes a great product and backs it up with a no risk return policy, that’s the one to use....as long as your...

Really liking the stools Derek!

Doubt any one can top that one Rob!

My Brother, God rest him, once shot a nail through his big toe, nailing battens for concrete roof tile. Pried it out with a pair of nippers, wrapped it up and went back to work!

I may have been a bit over simplistic to make a point in response to the OPs question about which “second” plane to get. But your point is taken and certainly valid.

I’ve concluded that anything more than three planes is for collectors (like many of us become) or professional woodworkers (who do a lot of linear feet of a variety of planing task). I’ve found that...

Three legged goat on a bender....😆

I had the same concerns with a Rikon 324 at only 270 pounds but it stood up so easily that I’d be tempted to try yours unless you have a really convenient way to use the hoist....

Very exciting to hear an old brand reinventing itself in the US. I picked up a WoodRiver #4 plane at a woodcraft store after I had bought a Lie Nielsen plane and was immediately reassured that the...

Nice work! Love the walnut one too! What was the finish on the walnut?

If you could make only one more project, what would it be? Or maybe another way to explore this would be to ask, what is your method to decide on the next project? Do you build things that you or...

Lmao Jim!

Love the nightstand. Looking forward to using sycamore...

Nice looking table!

I totally agree Ken. I’ve made some progress on making sharpening part of the wood working experience rather than a necessary evil but have a ways to go on sawing to a line. I think you hit on...

Starting a little tea box for my daughter for Christmas, copying a Mike Pekovich piece. 441859441860441861

I wound up with a Stanley number six (only slightly longer than the 5 1/2) because it was cheap and in good shape. Find I have it on the bench nearly all the time I’m working along with a #4 and 102...

Nice work and interesting thread and photos! Thx
