Are you certain of the wood types? What makes you believe these are dutch colonial from sri lanka? Asking because i'd like to know what information you used to determine those details.

I am...

would someone explain why they prefer O1 over A2? Personally I never had any issue sharpening A2 steel and from my research it is able to hold an edge better than O1. Is the interest because these...

any update on this issue?

Derek, once again I am so impressed and inspired by that plow and its handsome box...I might have to use a similar design for my own tools :)

Richard, from my reading of Malcolm's rant (which I fully agree with), he is simply venting what he sees in these auctions. While I do not want to speak for him, he doesn't suggest that high end...

thanks for that link Edward

Not to highjack the original thread topic, but what exactly is a "micro-crystalline" paste wax? I've used renaissance for a while and find it to be excellent but is this term a marketing gimmick or...

Scott, may I ask why are you regretting not getting an 8" grinder? What about the 6" diameter is less than ideal?

About 14 years ago I had a beautiful, big set of craftsman mechanics tools and a nice metal craftsman cabinet with ball bearing drawers (ALL made in USA). I became set on the idea to create foam...

Thank you Rob

This looks like a new offering from Veritas, based on the Record 43 design if I am correct. Very happy to see that Veritas is continuing to not only fill demand of their existing line-up, is...

Looks like cheaply-made junk from China. Out of curiosity, what do you find "really interesting" about the tools?

Krud Kutter is a great product, highly recommended. Used it this morning to clean many walnut cabinets

Have you tried using the OWWM forums?

Thanks Thomas. I assume the default jaw pair does not work at all for this blade?

Thanks Derek. looks like https://www.japanesetools.com.au/collections/all?sort_by=title-ascending&filter.v.price.gte=&filter.v.price.lte=&filter.p.vendor=Sigma carries them in Australia

For those who own the DX60 and a Lie-Nielsen honing guide, does the DX60 blade fit? I understand it will not fit in an eclipse-style guide but haven't seen definitive answers on the LN guide.

Thanks Derek for the reply. What are you using as your "shop" set?

Clayton, how are you liking the Norton Ascent ultrafine? I've been looking to replace my set of lapping films with two finishing stones, sigma power selects , norton ascent or spyderco ceramic.

I am experiencing the same difficulty right now trying to source clear white pine. the best quote I found about a month ago quoted freight charges that would have been around 40% of the total cost.

As Richard suggested, Ash is by far the most reasonably priced wood with fantastic properties ideal for a bench. I feel your pain with respect to the lack of SYP in the north east. I recently built...

Thank you for all the responses, they have helped me greatly. I will look into the Veritas offerings as well.

If you could choose just one, which block plane would you pick and why? I am trying to decide between a Lie-Nielsen 140 and a 60 1/2. From my understanding of the 140 it sounds like it is able to...
