I think that Kind of access is similarly inaccessible, but thanks

Is there a way to see these for someone who can’t see these on here? Thanks in advance

I’m not sure, I saw that one but I’ve also seen photos of Pavlak working on something more like a Mallila MB.

I’ve seen an Ulmia in that scheme too I...

I wasn’t able to find Bill Pavlak’s bench online, is there any photos of it? Thanks in advance

Yea itÂ’s about the same as the video but with the added clamping of the stretched tape. With the whole face glued down you probably wouldnÂ’t have a problem with the joint opening up anyway but it...

I mistakenly thought you were reporting a problem, I think an earlier response might have given me that impression and I wasnÂ’t reading closely enough.
I do it the same as you, using the sole...

I think luthiers do a lot of this kind of jointing and post videos of their methods. A guitar top is more than 1/16” but I think the approach is the same. I will say that I think you know more about...

ThatÂ’s a really good point about the weight of the saw plate, hadnÂ’t thought of that.

Since you mentioned seeing a lot of higher ppi saws, would it be worth making a 9 point saw into a 4-1/2 by cutting and filing half the teeth out?

When jointing an edge without preparing a reference face, what precaution is taken to ensure the jointed panel isn’t so far out of flat that I lose a ton of thickness in facing it?
Thanks in...

Youre no doubt right about this, except for the very first statement I wonder about. WasnÂ’t the generation that got along well in solitude an outgrowth of technological conditions that took a lot of...

I’ve read those things, as well. I hope everyone has found or is about to find the gear that answers all his prayers.

I’ve read that getting a matching pair of stones and rubbing them together is the best way to get them flat without making them cut coarser or finer, but you have probably read that too. It seems...

I didn’t get good results using salt but I didn’t use the method you describe.

Thanks a million guys, I really would not have puzzled that one out on my own.

Warren thanks a million, that makes perfect sense. I’m going to see if they scrape decent shavings off hard maple.

Thanks Ken, but they aren’t coarse on their faces and backs, just machines a bit roughly and sharpened on the long edges. The only one that had been honed is the triangular one, it’s sharp.

I’ve been wondering if a used-up triangular file, ground hollow and honed for a scraping edge, would be worth the trouble of preparing for finishing out concave edges. Haven’t done anything about it...

For me, pressing hard exaggerates the unevenness. It’s one of those scenarios where it’s hard to learn without the finesse that comes with a lot of time. Holding the iron tightly in my right hand...

My friend gave me one that’s also missing the tilt. It sits on the floor. Too cool to move it out of the way to where I’ll never get around to it, but I have found that handscrews do a great job of...

It’s my understanding that the old craftsmen generally owned one mortise chisel and used that size mortise in their work. Buying chisels is fun, fixating on getting them in shape is fun, making a...

What it sounds like you’re getting is called “blushing.” I got a lot of answers from Jeff Jewett’s book on Hand Applied Finishes. Paint seems to be an area where words like Varnish and Lacquer can be...

I was just reading along and thinking, “the time to buy anything is when I see it, don’t go looking.” Then I saw your post and punched in the distance to Villa Park! Ha
