    Hand plane question

    This is something that I've wondered about.

    I generally have set up planes so that the frog in the same plane as the back of the mouth, so that the iron is supported there,

    Not that differently. I have a 12" slider but only use it on jobsites. I wasn't looking for one but it was pressed on me by a guy retiring for health reasons.

    A gun with no ammunition is pretty safe, IMO.

    I have a similar situation absent the storage requirement- My grandparents' single shot 22 rifle. I last fired it maybe 40 years ago when my son was...

    I also think the miter joints are not a great idea. I suggest making three panels and joint them with dowels and cleats/screws so they can be assembled and disassembled later- who wants to move a...

    It wasn't a criticism, but I would guess that sales of 10" chopsaws and biscuit joiners are down in favor of 12" sliders and Dominos.

    The 10" chopsaw, Dewalt biscuit joiner, Wetzler clamps (all of which I still have), & mortising with a straight flute router bit stood out.

    He actually lives just up the road in the next county.

    I watched an episode- I thought it was charming, well produced, and also nostalgic, using techniques and equipment that I also used back then.

    Those look great! They'll take on a nice patina of oil and grease over time, too.
