FWW and Mortise and Tenon magazine are the best out there. PWW, Wood, Woodcraft and Woodworkers Journal all compete for the same customer. Paper thin with the same old articles year in and year out.

Not all is lost. If Stanley Black & Decker can resurrect Craftsman, then AIM can resurrect Pop Wood.
I get a few because the subscription is so cheap. the one I really enjoy is Mortise and Tenon. Mainly focuses on hand tool techniques.
I just bought my Ohio Tool Co low angle block plane (sorry don't know the number) and fell so in love with it after tuning it up, I sold my Stanley 60 1/2. Ohio Tool Co made some seriously nice...
Stanley Bench planes 3, 4, 5, 5 1/4, 8, 10 1/2 rabbet, 40 scrub, 62 low angle
Stanley 112 scraper plane, 113 compass plane, 71 1/2 router
Veritas rabbet, English bullnose rabbet
Stanley 45, 55,...
I believe the new CEO of State Farm didn't see the value of sponsoring his show so they stopped. I'm SHOCKED no one has started a Go Fund Me page to get his show back on air.
My guess would be a Fulton. The lateral adjustment looks like a bent over piece of metal and not the typical stamped out half moon shape of a Stanley. The 397 also makes me think it's a Fulton. More...
Those tools look way too pristine to get a good deal. Reminds of the tool collector you'll run into at an antique show with tons of tools who wants $75.00 for a Stanley No 4 with a broken tote....
That's nothing. Pop Wood has 10 pages for their outfeed table in the current issue. Next month Wood will dedicate 12 pages with a custom kitty litter box underneath.
Speaking of that, I just acquired all the issues of Home Furniture by Taunton Press at a local antique mall. Talk about inspiring, it's a shame a magazine like that doesn't exist anymore. Incredible...
Thanks Derek for helping out The Burl when you did. Knots is alive and well and has been reincarnated as The Burl.

Have you looked into Corradi Gold rasps? It seems like the consistency of the stitching is something you're looking for.

Yep, Mel was a fun sponge. If I remember right, he was a psychologist for NASA. I guess his job was to determine why astronauts made the decisions they made, but who knows.
I tried to keep the...
The Burl still exists but it's all but dead. I was the one that created it and Mel told everyone to come visit. The Burl used the same format as Knots as it was owned by Delphi Forums, but even...
I owned a Knew Concept saw a few years ago. Saw worked well but I hated the handle so I made a new one for it. After a few years of ownership, I fell out of love with it and sold it. Olsen coping saw...
I think F+W Media has been sold to a new owner again. The new owners probably came in and said "Wood and This Old House magazines have 4x the amount of subscribers than Pop Wood. That's who we need...
Never throw away the box. if nothing else, you could offset the cost of the tool with the sale of the box.
That plane will last another 100 years. Well done. Are you planning on replacing the bolt with a proper brass knob?

You're missing out, I love mine. Use it for setting up the height of my table saw blade as well as a general depth gauge.
I remember watching Roy Underhill take a small piece of each and stick it in a glass of water and blow on one end. The piece that would blow bubbles at the bottom would be red oak.
If you look, you'll find sellers with excellent feedback with quality tools at fair prices. Some of them, will even sell their planes with sharpened blades ; ) If you really want a deal, you can buy...
There used to be a dealer in the center of one of the aisles that would sell a ton of planes in the glass cases. He left a couple of years ago but I bought a few planes from him from time to time....
They look great. Have you ever seen dovetails in old pieces of furniture? They didn't have a love affair with them like we do today.
I've owned a Tormek for over fifteen years and never regretted it. It works well for what it does. I don't use the strop part of it though. I grind my bevel on the Tormek then hone the edge with 6000...
I would make a 12" tall form the diameter of the turn and laminate thin strips of wood to the form and clamp the wood together and do it eight times. Then, take take two of those pieces and edge glue...
