    Square for sure - agree with all John said. I don't mind round, but only use them when batching out on my mortising unit. Even then, I tend to square the ends.

    I have a near 100% success rate at ruining something whenever I pull out my router to speed up something I know I can do better by hand. Glad I'm not the only one :)

    James, from my experience with them both, the bottom locking one (from Keegan's link) locks up tight but the other model they offer, the one with the side thumbscrew, does not. Other members have...

    It seems to be a hole in the market - both currently and historically for some reason.

    Any options for a small bevel gauge?

    Seems like the last decent option for a small bevel gauge at Blue Spruce is no longer available. Previously Vesper was the gold standard but he's no longer accepting orders.

    Thanks for the close up pic and gouge suggestions Derek. That's exactly what I'd like to do on my next pulls. I really like the idea of that texture (both in looks and I assume feel) when someone...

    Lovely box Derek. I'm a big fan of the mitered dovetail ends for boxes. Just curious on how you go about making your thumb pull? I've been using a round nose router bit chucked into a drill press to...

    Mike,

    Jim and I worked out a fun little 'trade'. He sent down a Nakaya R-1900 he had laying around, an obscure saw that I suppose used to be around domestically but isn't any longer.

    The lacy figure on the (I believe) 1/4" handle is just exceptional. Was thinking how beautiful it would look on a chefs knife.

    Like Jim said, for finer work go with a Japanese backsaw, i.e. a dozuki.
