If you assemble the frame first, any inside profile will be rounded at the corners- a lesser look by most standards.
Maybe more car washes are being built in response to the moronic fad of black cars, which along with their other shortcomings, require 3 or 4x the amount of cleaning to look OK.
Yes, one must resist the inner spelling Nazi and other anti-social voices.
I'm currently selling some plywood that I salvaged. A buyer responded and said " great, do you have a saw I can use to...
The real deal at work. Plane at 3:15

When a response to my Craigslist ad shows a major lack of competence or reading comprehension, I tend to think that the interaction would not be worth the trouble, and don't reply.
It is...
Modern folks only need to open Amazon packages, and they use a key.
I posted on this yesterday, but it is not here.
Best airflow and louver vents are mutually exclusive.
Not too hard to make as half the louvers are cut square, and the rest share the same...
Those are the ones that have been sharpened the least, and are close to their original length. The first is from the set that I purchased around 1980- it's probably been sharpened less than a dozen...
Been using this further, including truing the edge of a ~10' 2X6. I set the fence to act a a kind of hold down to help keep the piece in place while it is cantilevered beyond the table.
Haven't...
I agree. I have two systainers, that the Domino and tenons came in. The tenon one is sort of OK, but takes up a lot of room, needs a big place to sit to be opened, and I worry that it will break. ...
All different makers. The widest 'standard' size.

The angle of the hone is not critical, IMO. I put them in the drill press and apply the chisel by hand- easy to see what's happening.
I use WD40 after every use, & don't bother wiping it off- just run a few seconds and put the plastic guard back on. The pump sprayer refilled from a large can avoids tossing a bunch of aerosol...
I'm guessing that you mean that Japanese planes are more complex than western ones, and so not worth using. I'm curious if the comment is based on first hand knowledge or not.
I've had 8 1/4" and 10" Makita portable saws, and the 10" is way more useful in general utility, and blade selection/availability.
Rip capacity on a bevel is a factor, and I've ripped lots of 6X...
Looking good. There appears to be a bunch of math, followed by direct measurement.
I have planes with very close mouths, but these are some that I use the most, for heavy, and medium utility cuts. IME, final, high level smoothing is only 10% of hand plane use.
They each took up...
I came across this Ebay seller who is knowledgeable, skilled, and has good prices on planes that he has sharpened and tuned.
Buying here would save hours of work vs other used or new and are...
Looks like the Dominos pulled out of their mortises. Probably would have held a lot more if those were glued.
How thick was your popular board?
No, not really. A bunch of 1/2" brad nails from the front might work sort of.
Glue. (characters)
This is more of this weeks accomplishments, but it will be last week soon...
I've worked on this property since the '80s, and built the garage/guest house in 1990. A giant bay tree just fell,...
One at least half a dozen mishaps over the years- mostly strippers. Still, that's only one every 7 years or so, on average.
I wouldn't be surprised that if you asked on Craigslist, someone would give you one. Lots of those on shelves collecting dust.
