    100% agree

    I just love this one. Simple, strong contruction. Great practice on dovetails. I think the traditional version of this is actually built with mortise and tenon, which would be stronger.

    Junior the genius

    take a break

    They do remove flesh. I'd say that you are probably tired/fatigued right now. You need to build up "muscle memory" of holding your fingers/hands/wrists firmly in the right positions for extended...

    just be wary

    If you flatten more than a quarter inch or so, sometimes if the area that's farther away is farther "out" that the area that's "closer" you might not be able to get the blade to "register" to the...

    what is flat

    Richard pointed out that you flatten "one inch back". From what I was taught, and believe me I'm no expert, that's alot. to achieve a "flat back to front bevel angle" you really only need a sliver...

    If I could get into a drill press I'd be golden. (or a mill). Where I'm staying on center.

    accuracy

    Would there be any difference in methodology if I needed it closer to a machinist's level of tolerences? I mean the re-finding center, order of drilling, etc.

    Skill's Question -- drilling

    I must be daft.

    I would like to create a hole and a counterbored top to the hole, but I'd like to do it in two steps without a drill press.

    shoulders

    I might be mistaken, but the big advantage of a shoulder vise is the complete lack of any lead screws to interrupt your items being clamped. You can drop something pretty wide straight to the floor....

    bump

    Just thought I'd see if anyone would have anything to add to suppliers for 2 mm (2mm) clutch pencil mechanisms. I'm getting to the point where I'm going to have to destroy old units!

    Supplier Question

    I was wondering if someone knew of a supplier of clutch pencil mechanisms for 2 mm leads. Just the mechanism, not a kit, or pen blank.

    Thanks.

    IF THERE ARE NO PICS....IT DIDN'T HAPPEN.

    That is to say. If you don't post pics of the chisel soon. We must conclude that you have no chisel!
