Hi all,

I picked up a crummy looking millers falls no 9 yesterday. it looks like someone tried stripping the finish from the tote but quit halfway through. Do I need to finish stripping before...

Thank you all! I managed to unbend the lever enough for it to work better. I could probably unbend it more but I'm too scared. I've also moved the frog further back to help the iron not hit the edge...

Thanks! I'll give this a try! Any tips on how to bend this back without breaking it?

You are right, I hadn't noticed that. I believe the frog is sitting well, I think maybe the lateral adjuster maybe is just bent? Here's a picture with a veritas ruler. Should I try to bend it back?
...

Without the lever cap I can see a gap (see 1st pic) and with the lever cap on it looks like there is no gap (2nd pic). You may be on to something though. When I try to use the lateral adjuster...

Looks like it's about 3/8 of an inch? Here's a pic

I believe my plane is a type 11 according to the flow chart I found online. It's good to know the smaller 1 in adjusters are a little tougher so I'll keep playing around with that. How can I tell if...

I don't have a good caliper but it's the same thickness as my millers falls #14 plane (Stanley 5)

Hi All,

I picked up Stanley plane today and noticed a couple of things happening that I'm hoping to fix.

1) The depth screw adjustment is really tight when the lever cap is on. With the lever...

I think you got some good advice already but one thing I learned the hard way is that I tried going cheap with my first two planes (one had a bent blade that I didn't even know wasn't supposed to be...

This is a great idea! Thank you!

This may be a basic question but thought I’d ask anyway just in case.

I’m building a saw till and initially intended to use a 1 1-4 dowel rod for the saw handles to rest on. Then I realized it’s...

that’s for the info. I think I’ll try the small nails or screws as the previous person mentioned as well. I wouldn’t mind simplifying the process so that works for me!

that’s a beautiful box! Thanks for the advice, good idea to use 1/8 ply and save space. I agree that 15 bd ft seems too much. Im on my phone so can’t tell from the pictures but what did you use for...

Hi All,

Not sure if this should go in the design forum or here but since I plan on using hand tools for this I thought I'd get a perspective of members here. I'm planning on building the jewelry...

That would be awesome! I'll send you a pm!

Hi Everyone!

I'm looking to buy a beaver 3800 jointer guard and pin as I recently picked one up to restore but it was missing the guard. Let me know if you have one for sale!

Thanks

Luis

That did the trick! Thanks!

514606514607514608514609Hi All,

Hopefully someone here can help me as Leigh tools is closed today. I bought the super 12 jig and have a bosch 1617evs router. I bought the correct adapter (RA1129...

Hi All,

I made myself a monitor stand from Cherry wood and finished it with 3 or 4 coats of a dewaxed shellac I had mixed. I didn't use any other finish. The monitor stand has a middle shelf where...

I mixed some garnet Shellac wax last May with isopropyl alcohol. Would it still be ok to use? Should I try it on some scrap wood?

Thanks

Luis

I hadn't thought of this. Good idea!

Good evening everyone!

I should've thought this before I started the project but here we are! I'm making my dad a monitor stand out of Sapele and was planning on using 1/4 dowels for the joinery...

Thanks for the responses so far. When I start the grinder and then stop it, the left wheel keeps spinning after the shaft stops. I'm assuming that's too loose? I've done it as finger tight as I can...

Ok, I feel really stupid asking this but I'm perplexed and I know the CBN wheel isn't tight so I'd rather be safe.

I recently got my first bench grinder (Rikon 1HP) with CBN wheels to sharpen my...
