I agree with this sentiment. I bought the same fret saw and it works and cost less than 20 dollars. If you have a habit restore near you stop by...they usually have a box full of old coping saws...

At the end of the day...you need to keep track of your references...if you show a straight edge to your plane...then show that to your lapping surface.....keep checking that master reference and...

For those that have rounded the bottom of a plane...can someone explain how it happened? I have flattened the soles of a handful of planes and I have never done that. I typically lap in a criss...

Don,
I would try and use each plane on some scrap boards. With your block plane you should be able to get a very thin (transparent) full width shaving. If you are having a hard time accomplishing...

I upgraded a 4.5 with the veritas pmv11 and chip breaker and have been very happy with it. The edge retention is very impressive and I am able to hone it with oil stones and charged strop. In my...

I would get a vintage stanley 53. It has an adjustable mouth that allows you to quickly adjust the cut. I tuned mine up with a hock blade and the epoxy trick ( Boggs article in FWW). It is the shave...

Paul sellers has written extensively about them. They are made in China but they are much nicer than a cheap set I bought at HF many years ago. I have not used them extensively like my narex ones but...

I have narex chisels and like them. I got the 4 piece set and 1.5" one in addition to the set. As others have said I use the .5" and .25" ones the most. The 1.5" one gets its fair share of use as...

Maybe separate the deadman into two panels and shoot 45's then glue together to make a triangle groove?

This is the first time I have seen them in my area. They are in the same box with files so you might need to "dig" to find a set. They have nice wooden handles....they are all metric sizes....the...

I picked up a set of the Aldi work zone chisels last week and worked them up quickly. Most of the backs had a slight hallow so that was nice.....I used 150 grit sand paper for flattening the...

John. I bought three stones from that company, soft (400),hard,(800),and black(1200). I don't really see much of a difference between the soft and hard. If you notice on their site they also offer a...

I bought a set of stones from natural whetstone company and have been very satisfied with these stones. I got a soft, hard, and hard black (not the hard trans) the hard black was 69.00 for a 10x3x1...

I just got some oil stones and have a few a2 blades. I have not tried sharpening the plane blades yet but did try some of my narex chisels with good results. I am curious when you guys say longer...
