I did shoot LN an email and their response was that they are still offering the No. 2 but due to Covid-19 and reduced manufacturing, there is an indefinite lead time and they are not taking back...

Hello all,

I'm looking for a gently used Lie-Nielsen No. 2. I was going to purchase new but went to the LN's web site only to find that they don't offer it any more. UGH. So if you have one just...

Please enter me. Thanks.

Thanks for the answers guys. I picked up some "odorless" mineral spirits and that worked like a charm. In the end I wiped down both entire pieces with mineral spirits and it revealed some stray...

I don't usually use drawer slides in my furniture but that's what the client requested. In the process of installing the slides I've managed to get greasy little finger prints all over the place. ...

Hi Paul,

The Woodworkers Club is the community shop I was referring to in my post. I use it all the time. Some of their tools are great, the bandsaws not so much. I know it's too much too...

Am I the only person who is wondering what kind of a cyborg you have to be to resist the temptation to tear into that crate and at least look at all the parts for 2 years? I know I'd have that thing...

Let me be the first to suggest old woodworking machines forum. Someone there will surely know the answer. At least you could find an exploded parts diagram. I can tell you there is no way a bearing...

Hi Matt,

I bought four of the purple straps from HF and those metal couplers which look like big links of chain with threaded locking nuts. I can't quite remember how I configured the straps. It...

Holy cow, a blast from the past. . But let me just see if I can remember how it went. I think what I had to do was have as much slack as I could get in the lifting straps, then get the hoist as...

Yes Jim, thanks. Looking for any information beyond Joel's tutorial.

Thankyou to Jay for recommending the Beston 500. I think that's the way I'm giong to go. I think I may have led people down the path by mentioning flattening. The only thing I have to flatten is a...

It would be for "not much flattening". Mostly for bevel work. I guess my question is, say you have a chisel with a nick in it, and you want to grind it back past the nick, or adjust the bevel, and...

I need a recommendation for a course water stone. I use a combination 1000/8000 stone for sharpening but if I need to do major edge repair or flattening I have to resort to a DMT Duosharp diamond...
