EDIT as of 11/17/23–9:45pm Central time- only item remaining is the lie-nielsen screwdriver

Good afternoon, I have a few hand tools that I don't use that I would like to sell.

Prices below...

Brand new, never used Harvey MG 36 miter gauge. Came with my new table saw and looks very nice, but I already have an Incra miter gauge that I like and use.

$230 shipped (ground shipping within...

Josh, I am very happy with the Minimax jointer planer and as I mentioned, I’d likely buy it again. The tersa head is great so far and gives great surface results.

I tried to do as much research...

Josh,
I have a Minimax FS30c and a Hammer K3 Winner (saw). My thought process on purchasing the respective machines is as follows:

I first started looking at Jointer/planer combos about a year...

Dave,

I have the older version of the SS Jobsite. The main difference between that and the pro is that the Pro appears to have a deeper table with more indeed before the blade.

overall, I am...

Izzy, i think that piece is to make a push block for use with the jointer. I plan to just use some regular push pads/blocks that I had from my old jointer.

Thanks everybody for the input. I didn’t want to try and rotate the cutterhead too much out of fear that there was something obstructing it’s movement. But is sounds like it is normal to have some...

Izzy— i just had an FS30 delivered. A couple questions: where did order the euro guard from? Does your machine’s cutterhead freely rotate? I am in the process of cleaning my machine and I can’t...

I just took delivery of a new minimax fs30 jointer/planer this week. I am working on removing the packing grease and getting it set up. My machine has the tersa head. I am attempting to rotate...

Jon,
That is a great looking build. How long have you been working on it?

I’d like to build a boat in the future, I’m glad to see that there is someone in the Co. Springs area that has made...

Approximately five years ago, a friend gave me a truck load of firewood from a maple tree in his yard that he had taken down. We used a lot of the wood in our patio fire pit. However, when we moved...

Thanks Derek for the analysis. I am tempted to try it out.
Stephen- I am in the same boat. I have the Veritas honing guide, but have not been fully satisfied, primarily with its consistency. ...

Has anyone used the Lie-Nielsen honing guide with other brand plane (I.e., non-Lie-Nielsen) blades or chisel? If so, were they compatible with each other?

The Lie-Nielsen product description...

Thanks all, I appreciate all the comments. I’ve enjoyed reading many of your threads over the past few years and have learned a lot. I look forward to putting many of the tips to use in the coming...

I completed my new workbench last month. It took 20 months to complete. I wish it didn't take so long (but work, family, moving, house and yard projects all take time too). Nonetheless, I am glad it...

Plate 11 http://www.plate11.com/ has good looking Roubo-style benches and kits. You can customize front vises and/or tail vises. They had a floor model at Handworks last year and it looked like a...

Malcolm,
thanks, I will try to take a look at your Facebook page. Safe travels.

I am planning to go to Handworks this weekend. Does anyone who has been in the past recall whether or not the vendors accept credit cards or just cash?

Also, does anyone have any insight on the...

Thanks for the feedback and advice. I'm tempted to do a butterfly/bowtie key to expand my skills, but I may just go the epoxy route as it will definitely be quicker. I know there are a few other...

Thanks Jim, are there any concerns about the overall strength of the glue line? The top is 7 feet long and 3+ inches thick.

I am working on my first workbench build. I am using Douglas fir 2-by material from the home center. I am primarily working with an assortment of hand planes and and a table saw to rip the lumber...

Michael-- I considered going without a vise too and just doing a crochet, but I went ahead and ordered the hardware for the benchcrafted leg vise. I won't add a tail vise though and will just use...

Mark, This is great information. I was thinking of going down this path, but I am happy to hear that it worked out for someone else and is a viable option before I get started with the sawing and...

Thanks to everybody for the replies. I appreciate the comments and advice. I am going to stay on the course I am currently on and proceed with my DF lumber and pick up some hardwood for vise leg...
