  1. Shop Fox Table Saw Fence with 7’ Rails (Columbus, Ohio)

    I bought this new for my table saw probably 15 years ago. I barely used it before I downsized to a shop where long rails are impractical. So, it’s sat under a table, and I’ve moved it around with me...

    A pair of locking jaw pliers (aka “vice grips”) works well for this task too. Just lock the jaws on the wires you need to twist and then spin the vice grips. Much easier on the fingers than doing it...

    Hi Joel,

    I’m gonna preface this by saying I’ve installed lots of euro hinges on cabinets and butt hinges on boxes
    but I’ve never done what I think you are asking about before. So, this advice...

    Thank you Tom. I will certainly mock this up when I get that far. I’m considering attempting to cut my own wood screw as well. Without doing any calculations, I would think that the wood threads...

    Take your time Tom. If your wood “St. Peter’s Cross” works, it works. Anybody can come of with a theory of why it shouldn’t, or why Bencrafted’s Crisscross is a superior product, but at the end of...

    Tom, any chance you have more photos and/or details about your criss cross? I don’t want to hijack the OPs thread, so, if you do have the details/photos, it may be worth posting in a new thread. I’d...

    That’s a pretty nifty set up Derek. I may have to try something like that if I don’t go with a split, and possibly even if I do go with a split.

    Jon, While I have never used a split top bench, I will most likely be building a split top bench very soon. One of the advantages I have not seen me sooner on here yet, and the one that I’m the most...

    Ken, Out of curiosity, what do you think the ideal proportions of the asymmetrical split would be? I’m about to start building a new bench and I have thought about an asymmetrical split.

    For design and layout of storage purposes, the critical height measurement for a bevel down metal bodied plane is usually from the sole of the plane to the top edge of the iron, not to the top of the...

    Tom, I may very well acquire dedicated planes at some point either from finding them or making them. I had no problem getting the veritas small plow to work well when I test drove it, and I would...

    Hi Tom, I’m all set up with saws, chisels, a router plane, and gauges. I’m really looking for something to plow dados, grooves, and rebates. Dados in case sides, grooves for drawer bottoms, tongue...

    Thanks Jim, I had not seen that set. I always skim through from “ending soonest” and work my way towards “newly listed”. Now the question becomes, spend $90 on the blades or spend twice that (plus...

    Thank you all for your responses. From what I’m gathering, I may want to drop the 1/2” and 3/4” straight blades from my starter set. I was envisioning using those mostly to make dados for shelves and...

    Blade selection for Combination plane

    Hello,

    I am soliciting advice for a good starter selection of blades for a soon to be purchased Veritas Combination plane. I’m slowly converting from electrons to human power and am finally ready...

    If you have a variety of things you need power for in your shop, you could build or buy a portable power distribution panel. I believe they may also be referred to as “spider boxes” in some trades. I...

    No need to apologize. I thought twice about posting as I didn’t want to be “that guy”, but I thought it would be best to correct the record in case someone were to actually be making a purchasing...

    The LN #101 is a violin makers plane. IMO the #101 would be too small to be of use for all but the finest details of a rowboat. The LN #102 is a low angle “apron” plane, and the #103 is/was a...

    Matt,

    Fortunately, there are many good block planes currently on the market and vintage models are also relatively plentiful if you know where to look (and know what you are looking at). I own a...

    Jim,
    I made a few reamers last year for a stool I was building. One is bigger for legs and the other is smaller for spindles. Both are based on Elia Bizzarri’s and I used an old keyhole saw for...

    Where the knives ground at the proper angle to allow clearance on cut? I know you can run into problems with bevel down hand-planes if they are not ground at an acute enough angle the non edge side...

    I have a 25 year old 15” Jet planer with straight blades. Maybe your cutter head is different, but I can’t see how you could over tighten the lock bolts to the point of snapping the blade. The flat...

    Just a guess, but I’d suspect you didn’t have your knife locking bar tight enough. If I’m seeing the knives correctly, either just the middle of each blade was loose or, if your cutter-head has set...

    If I understand you correctly, you want to clamp a straight edge across your extension table (from front to back) parallel to the blade. If this is the case, just make sure your straight edge is...
