I have the "Classics" book you mentioned plus "The New Yankee Workshop" (copyright 1989), both of which I picked up second hand from another member here on Sawmill Creek. The latter book came with a...

My submittal will go out in the mail tomorrow. With luck I bought my folding trailer and dust collector during the listed dates and still have my receipts in the manuals. I also searched my credit...

I've had that saw for a few months now and had a similar experience when it was new. It really seemed to "bite the wood" and was hard to start, and I've seen others mention it too. The good news is...

Excellent luck here too with my blades, still on the original set. Planer was new in 2008, I adjust blades every year or two to minimize nick marks, and any that remain are easily removed with a...

Good point. I want an enclosed base so yes, it will rest on the floor on all 4 sides, but it will be on carpeting and should never wobble. If the flooring changes and this becomes an issue, I will...

Makes sense. So no glue on the rails, to allow for upward expansion?

Awe man, hard to say, seems like a good price. I love my DW 735, it was the best "portable" planer you could buy at the time. It gives great results but is on the heavy side. I've strained my back...

I'm working on a pair of nightstands and want to apply a 5.5" solid baseboard around the front and sides. I am struggling with how to attach these to 1) account for wood movement, and 2) to get a...

No, and I didn't need to move the frog either.

Due to inspiration from this forum I started acquiring and restoring vintage hand planes several months ago and am now learning how to use them. My most recent find was a sweetheart era Stanley 4...

Congrats on the retirement and idea on a ballpark tour! I grew up RVing with my family. I'm not familiar with Thor RVs and am getting ahead of your first question but thought I'd chime in anyway. ...

Briefly considered it but decided to pass. I have no desire to wear it full-time and my wife doesn't mind at all if forget to put my wedding ring back on after working. Now if I could only remember...

Thanks for the tips and responses. I should clarify I'm not looking for advice or a general education on avoiding tearout -- I realize that is a controversial topic which has been rehashed at...

So Curt, when you say "toother" do you mean a toothed blade installed in any smoothing plane? Any particular tpi?

I've purchased or acquired several hand planes recently and have been practicing to the point where I was comfortable trying to incorporate them into my work. I am working on two 18" x 23" tops for...

Nice! Never noticed the 'rate this thread' option at the top! 5 stars to your reply too :)

Another moment I wished Sawmill Creek had a "like" button. Thanks for sharing.

Merry Christmas!

Steven, to make sure I understand you correctly, are you suggesting I enlarge the existing hole (next size larger) in the brass nut/wheel and also the hole in the frog to match, then make a new rod...

The adjuster nut is right hand thread (clockwise tighten). I was able to remove the nut from the adjuster bolt, turned it around, and it still won't thread. At the risk of sounding dumb, I'm...

Hi all, hand plane rookie here. I recently acquired a Sargent 3424 transitional plane from a fellow Creeker and am having a couple issues with reassembly.

When disassembling the frog for...
