Thank you all for the replies. I initially didn't see an issue with the bench in front of the electrical panel, but keeping that clear seems like a good idea. I'm hopeful that I'll end up with more...

My wife and I are in the early stages of looking for a new house. I'll likely claim some unfinished space for a workshop and I'm trying to figure out the minimum size I would need. I'm currently...
Travisher is sold. Thanks, Jeff
I received a question about how the blade is set up on the travisher, so I'm posting some pictures to make that more clear. The blade is set up as I received it new. The blade has not been...
I agree with everything Lee said. The strength of the magnet quickly falls off with distance. One way to get a bit more holding strength at a distance is to put a back iron or magnetic shield...
I agree that a stool won't be the easiest starting project, but it is certainly doable. Build something you're excited to build. I haven't built this, but found this Popular Woodworking video for a...
Bump to see if anyone is looking for a travisher
The recent post about Claire Minihan travishers reminded me that I've been sitting on an unused one. I bought it for saddling a chair, but I never gotten around to that project.
The travisher...
My thought with it being portable was more about when I move house. If I knew it would stay put indefinitely, I'd give more consideration to a Roubo style design. I'd still like the mass of a 4"...
I'm starting a Moravian bench build with the design based on Will Myers's plans. I'm making a few minor adjustments and wondered if anyone had experience with these changes.
- I'm planning to use...
Thanks, Jim. I’ll see what I can find for springs and get back to you.
In my drill, the holes are .14” dia and each about .17” deep. I think that means I’d need something with a maximum...
I’ll give the springs a try. Thanks!
I have a Millers Fall 2-01 eggbeater drill with a chuck that (I assume) is missing some parts. I haven't been able to find a diagram of what this particular model is supposed to look like, so I was...
Hi Tom,
I’m looking forward to reading this. Thanks for taking the time to share your experiences
Will Neptune has an article about this in FWW #276. He doesn’t mention an angle, but goes through several approaches.
I recently built a dollhouse and used tapered sliding dovetails to join the...
The post recent episode of FWW’s podcast talked about resale blades. I remember they liked Lenox, but don’t recall the specific model. Link to the episode is here:

Very nice explanation of the build process. FWW’s podcast (#237) mentioned Esherick, which got me thinking about building a version of his stool. It’s very helpful to find your process and...
I looked into side clamping honing guides recently too. You might find this thread interesting:

I found a video on FWW yesterday where Bob Van Dyke went through the steps of tuning up a generic eclipse. So between tuning up a cheap one, finding a vintage eclipse, the nicely machined Australian...
Ah yes, that's the thread I saw. For some reason I just couldn't find it again. Thanks for digging it up. I guess I have another item to add to my wish list!
I've been spending far too much time lately in the sharpening/ honing guide rabbit hole. It seems that the Lie-Nielsen honing guide is great for LN products, but doesn't always accept the geometry...
I just went through a similar tool storage problem. There were lots of good suggestions in this thread:...
I’ve had good luck with Beacon Hardwood in Medley (near Miami airport). Their website makes them look like a wholesale outfit but the Medley location will sell small quantities. I’ve bought 5-10 BF...
Thank you to everyone for the great suggestions. I think I'm going to wipe everything down with oil, wrap it in Uniwrap, then put it in weather tight boxes. I'll throw some desiccant packs and...
Sounds like cosmoline really works. I looked into it a bit and it sounds like it might be difficult to remove, but that's a better problem to have than dealing with rust. Thanks for the suggestion
