I did the same thing...
I think it really depends on the tool and what you want to do with it. Most of my planes are old, I dont buy messed up rusk buckets and try to save them anymore but there is an antique dealer near me...
I also use the bahco ones from lee valley, I have that set and then extras in some more heavily used sizes
Those look really nice and not a bad price for bronze.
In general I am with you on that. For a spoke shave though they are a really really simple tool. Your not doing anything with the frame and beyond that there are the screws to adjust the blade, the...
500090This is my not quite finished paddle from the class
I took a canoe paddle making class last weekend, it was really cool. I used my record 151 for the shaft and a draw knife for the blade, used a rasp for the handle.
I have been wanting to go to one for a long time and live close enough, just have not gotten around to it yet. Mike Seimsen does a saw sharpening class near here as well which would likely be what I...
I have not used a brace and bit much generally just using a power drill but I am wanting to use one more. My old box of random bits got wet and they are all rusty and while I likely will clean them...
Mine was just a beater no 4 that I reshaped the blade and opened the mouth. Wouldnt bother with anything high dollar for that use case.
My niece loves ones that have some movement. I made a dog with wooden wheels that had a joint in the middle so it wiggles when she pulls it around and the ears etc can move. I made some animals with...
I really like the scandanavian shoulder and tail combo as well.
I generally grab whatever plane I think is sharpest at the time, if not that whichever one is closest. In theory I like using my 6, most often I grab my 4.
It depends so much on what you want and what you want to avoid. I am about an hour north of Minneapolis and really like where I am. it is a city where I could be an hour from the downtown area and...
The sale is not still on is it?
Gransfors Bruks small forest axe.
I never found one I liked, stopped using them years ago.
So I dont use a table saw a ton, I have a dewalt 745 which until now has done what I needed it to. It still would except for that it would be really handy to be able to cut dados which you cant do on...
I have several gransfors bruks axes and hatchets, big fan of them, hard to beat their quality.
Yea ebay can get weird. Sometimes its based on a real specific item someone wants and it willing to pay the premium for even knowing its overpriced. I had a particular model of pocket knife I wanted...
I have planes and other items in open top shallow boxes hanging on french cleats behind my work bench. Most are single tail boxes much like what you are showing made from walnut that is generally...
I have plenty of flex cut but dont use them, for gouges I use pfeil, you dont need a huge variety and I add as need for projects. I do about 90% of my cuts with 3 gouges and a v-tool. For knives I...
Some water under the paper will hold it due to surface tension, not as light as adhesive but it works. I bought a granite lapping stone at woodcraft that was cut specifically to be flat, wasnt that...
Ive been on the lookout for a smallish anvil for a few years. All very expensive.
Never used evaporust my self but usually tear it down and soak in vinegar, then wire brush, then wash under water, then a baking soda solution, then dry and oil before assembly.
