Thanks Nathan!

Hi Derek,

The papst hysteresis motor, coupled with the 5.5kg platter makes for very consistent playback. I'm currently running a soundsmith Otello MI cartridge. The biggest issue with the 598 is...

I paid $25 for a 1/2" matched set of wooden planes. You don't need a 78 or 79.

I agree that the small veritas is a great choice. I reach for mine far more often than my 45. Which does make a great plough plane, the veritas is just somewhat easier to use. For tongue and groove,...

Thanks Derek, I suspect there may come a point where the contrast may even swap.

It's an Empire 598, a mk2 version, with a Jelco tonearm.

Just like the originals, I used screws. And half-lapped joints.

Thank you. It's mulberry paper, glued to the walnut frames (which are interference fitted to the doors), which is handy since I can operate the equipment with the doors closed.

Finally finished the credenza. It's been a multiple month project. Actually one year from the day I drew it, but I didn't actually start working on it until January. Cherry and Walnut, which should...

I'm a gen-Xer and well.. I gave up on retirement in the 90s. The 00's cemented it. I'm content to just work until I die. Unfortunately, my kids (which includes both millennial and gen-z) are left...

I wish we had a like button sometimes.

I see you missed where I said I don't use hot hide glue often. But use liquid. Which offers all the convenience of PVA, with all the convenience of hot hide glue..

Yea, but it's just so convenient it's about all I use anymore.

Liquid or hot hide glue?

Liquid I'm generally a one side kind of guy. Except I'll size end grain. If I'm getting squeeze out, there's enough glue IME. I rarely use hot hide glue, and it's been a...

Yes, Jim is correct. Measuring induces error.

It's easier to make the round first, and the hollow from that. I'll second the LN Traditional Side Escapement video.

Pinch rods?

Paring is different than chopping mortises. I just did breadboards this weekend, using my long 1/4" (~14") chisel, instead of my one or intermediate length (~10"), or the short one (~ 5"). All are...

Ok, so I need to choose to use the most difficult tool possible to be cool. Got it ;)

Did I just hit the road or mountain bike forum tab by mistake?

There's no denying, at all, that a longer reference makes it easier to spot small variations though. That seems a ridiculous 'hill to die on' to me.

Sometimes life has other plans. I bought the stock for my current project in May of last year. I have to finish one shelf, and the doors and it'll be done. Which I'm both happy and sad about, to be...

These become bots to go after other things.

There was a question, I actually gave a professional recommendation that was clearly not what was wanted to be heard.

Air gap em.

Seriously, I wouldn't expose any OS that is EOS to the world.

Acid brushes and pallet knives. Although I prefer the knives for dovetails.

The dutch chest is a great suggestion. Easy to move, stores a lot, and you could do chest on chest with it easily. I really do like working out of a chest

That's what I work out of too. I like the double front row. I might do that on mine, I'm running out of space on a single row ;)
