I live in central Ohio. I have used Southern Yellow Pine from Lowes and Home depot for making siding and window sashes. You can generally find a few clear pieces of 2x. Rough cut it (avoid any pith)...

Try looking at the Beal Wood threader. I used the 1 1/2" for a moxon vise. As you will see they have various sizes. The dowel rod (I turned my own) must be accurate in the diameter.

Power tools help you make mistakes faster!

I think you overpaid for that. Send it to me and I will send you your $1.00 back. NICE FIND ! I might suggest that you spray some WD40 on it and rub it down with crumpled up aluminum foil. The foil...

I wonder if that was me under my old email? Does his email; thecabinetmaker@wowway.com?

When I first joined up I mistakenly put my state at the end of my name. How do I remove Ohio from my name?

Around a year ago my Makita drill had problems with it's clutch. Along with that the batteries were not holding a charge. For me it was less expensive to purchase a new drill - driver combo kit (it...

Jack,

I have a SCM 600p (24" resaw) it's 5-6 years old and was set up for test cuts, I just don't have room for 2 of these. It's located in central Ohio asking $4,400.00 If your interested email...

I have been using it for years on planes (both Iron and Wood) with no problems. Another is the tilt and blade raising gears on your table saw as it will not load up with sawdust like grease.

I might have missed something, but their are very metal molding planes with a sole. The sole not only burnishes (think rubbing shavings to polish) but also will help in tear out. Their are time that...

When I mounted the disconnects for mine I mounted a steel plate to the saw. The disconnects are on one side and an outlet on the other. Because this was in a garage I was required to mount it a...

Any hot hide glue that I have left over stays in the jar and goes into the refrigerator.

I personally use Walmart's brand of mineral oil (around $1.00) I figure if its designed to drink, it should be safe on your hands. By the way my hands have never been constipated since I started...

Some years ago I was at a fellow WW house, as we sat in his kitchen which had a wall of glass on one side, he asked me what wood I thought his cabinets were. I said Butternut he then told me to open...

I believe they are called cabinet door bumpers over here. By the way Jessica I believe I read in another thread that you are from the land of William of Orange along with his English wife Mary II.

The stands for malleable, it's suppose to be harder to break. Think Lie Nielsen.

I believe you are referring to Colonial Homestead (144A W. Jackson St. Millersburg the phone # is 330-600-9445) I have been their several times and enjoy it every time.

That's an excellent book. I'm not at home but if I remember correctly John kasay had one book on Shaker furniture with drawings and another on Windsor furniture with drawings.

Depending on how deep it is you might be able to scratch it in, or cut the 1/8" groove then glue in a 1/16" filler of a contrasting wood to make it look like it's part of the design. Put clear...

Jim,

Over the years I have run rehab a few molding planes. I follow the same procedure you are using, except I normally use Turpentine, I will have to try the mineral oil (I'm shure it better on...

The wedge does not look like an Old Street Tool wedge. Also it appears to be a double iron, and they use a nail in the tote to attach it. The champers on the side don't look like the ones on my C&W...

Mike,

Let me start by saying you are doing a great job. I've always believed the best way to learn a skill is by doing it. Over the years I have found that working wood by hand requires you select...

Glenn,

You stated; "I have the iron only 1/4" below the skate (the vertical metal plate that touches the wood) but the iron keeps catching in the wood and I am not able to push it." If I...

Thanks for the nice comments, however I cannot take full credit for these planes. Without Larry Williams DVD's I would still be in the planning stages. I did however have a secret weapon, that is...
