Someone gave me a Stanley #4, Made in England. It was a piece of junk that I converted into a scrub plane. It’s now serviceable. Complete pre-war Stanley #7s are plentiful in the $150 range, even the...
Very nice bench, Nathan. Thanks for the detailed write-up!
I’ve had mine for 20+ years, use them on almost every project without any issues. Luck of the draw? Was going to suggest photo mount spray adhesive, but you beat me to it.
Appreciate the post, though I’m surprised it has taken this long to learn of it. He passed away on December 31 at age 38. Very sad.
No. Eddie Sirotich, who operated Adria saws as a side business, retired about 20 years ago. I have one of his excellent dovetail saws. It’s on the smallish size and cuts pretty aggressively. Ideal...
Despite the significance of your injury, Stew, it sounds like you dodged a bullet. My father died of lung cancer at 56. Aside from the very occasional cigar, he never smoked. But he was a master...
I recently scored 5 oak and 3 maple pallets that were listed in the free stuff category on Craigslist. There were some junk fir and/or pine pallets that I passed on. I didn’t ask where they came from.
+1 with what Eric wrote, but keep in mind that LN recommends no burr on their scraper plane blades. I own their 112 & 212 scrapers and, while it takes a bit of practice to set it up properly, they...
Late 30s/early 40s Delta 1200 scroll saw. Great American iron. No other power tool brings out the creativity in me like it does.
Don’t need this many but I’ve got 6: a 6” Fray, 8” Stanley Bell System 2101, 10” North Bros. 2101, 12” North Bros. 2100, Stanley 984 corner brace, and a massive 10” German made Dunlap. The Dunlap is...
I assume you are referring to the ones they make for their planes and sharpening jig. I’m not aware of any others they make. This link gives all the dimensions. You’ll need a caliper or micrometer. ...
I’ve got a Charles Parker, probably between 80- 100 years old. It’s a beast. A search on Craigslist or Facebook Marketplace will likely turn up a few. You won’t be sorry.
Thanks for the update John. I’m on the wait list for the 1& 2.
I’ve spoken with a few people there and was also told the delays were due to issues establishing their own foundry, which seemed like...
Ron,
You won’t be sorry. It’s a great machine at a very fair price. It’s a bit cumbersome at first, but once you use it a few times you’ll appreciate its versatility. If I didn’t already have one I...
I had 3 HNT Gordon planes that I purchased at an estate sale, 2 brand new in box, the other I subjected to a few test cuts. I’ll be the first to admit I’m not a wood plane guy, so it took only those...
Best bet for the cutter guard would be to post a WTB on www.owwm.org
If you’re not already a member you’ll need to join to access the classifieds (BOYD).
Can’t help you with the other stuff,...
I love how Bode rates and prices his items. Check out the scratches on the sole of the plane. Mint condition? I think not.
Gonna guess Pro Ears Gold. That’s what I wear. Bought it for the range, now also use it in the shop. Silence is golden. Pun definitely intended.
Just noticed a significant price increase on some LN planes. I’ve got bronze and iron LNs; granted, the bronze versions are prettier, but there is no difference in performance between bronze and iron...
I find all these references to how loud the Dewalt is absolutely ludicrous. Most bench top and stationary power tools generate a lot of noise. Invest in good hearing protection and you’ll barely...
I’ve had the Dewalt for almost 4 years. Got a pre-Xmas deal on it from Home Depot with the Dewalt mobile stand, extension tables and extra set of blades. It leaves a beautiful finish that requires...
IKEA (10 characters).
My dad. He was a master woodworker and furniture maker/restorer who worked in virtual (and vastly underpaid) obscurity for a furniture company in Chicago. He was an incredibly gifted artist who...
Sandy hasn’t updated his site in years. I’ve tried to contact him to no avail. I’ve asked on this and other forums if anyone knows what is going on. The only response I got is that they thought he...
