Kent, I own a copy of the aforementioned book. I ordered it from Powell's a few years ago and paid about 110 dollars for it. It's a fantastic book if you're a fan of CRM's work and there are...
...yup...I like Millers Falls stuff too...but just to look at. The quality is horrible...they're basically unusable...and Stanley's stuff is far superior! So don't bid on any of them that show up...
David, you did an excellent job on this delicate table! You certainly didn't pick the easiest woods to work with for hand tools:eek:, but walnut and maple sure work well together, don't they?

My hat's off to you (and your Missus) Roy! You both did a splendid job in the design and execution of this project. Enjoy your new space!!!!
Cheers,

The photos below show the 1/2" chisel next to comparably sized...
I totally agree John...his display set followed me home!!;)
Superb job on the bench Dave!! I'm betting you crack a smile every time you walk up to it...and pause a few minutes before the work begins. :)
I remember the satisfaction I derived from using my...
Nice to meet you Mike!
