Tom,
Thank you for the tip. I just took a look at the Philly Plane web site. That may be a consideration for a future use. I imagine it would be a while to purchase one with everything going on in...

Jack, Thanks for the follow up. I think I will do a test on a short piece of red oak to get an idea of what I am facing.

Jack, The bench looks gorgeous. I like the table saw method. If I understand this, you lay out the curvature then repeatedly adjust the table saw and run it through the saw.

Prashun, This sounds like it may be one way to do this job. Did you have issues with clamping for glue up after you beveled the sides?

Tom, I am hoping to facilitate this with some basic woodworking. It will not be a large concave area, that being said if I come across the right board who knows?

Ken, Thanks for the reply. I...

Jim, Thanks for the additional information. Unfortunately, I am not in the Portland area. I am about 30 miles west of Philadelphia, almost as far from Portland as I could be and still be in the...

Dale,
No problem, looking forward to receiving. Thanks, Jack

Jim,
Thanks for the reply. Sorry for the confusion, I will need to have a slightly concave surface for the full length of the bench. I may consider looking for a round plane. My thought was to use a...

Hello,
I am looking for some advice/guidance. I am planning a bench and want to have a slight concavity to the seat. The seat will be 53" in length and 14" wide. My plan is to give the center 12" a...

Dale,
I think either will be great. I personally think the brass will look better on all of the planes. Jack

Good news. Jack

Thanks to everyone of you for the advice and information. Great community here with folks willing to take the time to share their knowledge and experience. I have a bit of planning and information...

Phil, thanks for all of the information. I had the same thought of building a test cabinet if you will and use it in my shop. They are two great looking cabinets. Thanks for taking the time to...

Rob, Thanks for the information. I am leaning toward maple for the face frames as that is the style I will of with. Good tip on the imported sheet goods. I am fortunate that I believe there is a good...

Bryan, Thank you for the information and the tips. I had not thought of a cut list program and have never used one but I think I will give it a go. I believe face frame is the way to go for the looks...

Thanks for all of the replies. I should not be surprised that folks on this site take the time to give me great information on their experiences with cabinets. I think I will jump in and take a stab...

Thanks Rob, I was thinking poplar or maple.

Hello, I am contemplating building kitchen cabinets for my daughter who has bought her first house. The house has a small kitchen and I think it could be a reasonable project to accomplish. I have...

Ben, Do you have any idea of the age of this gorgeous tool? Jack

Wow Phil, "vintage beast" is an apt description. I had no idea planes were ever manufactured that large. I cannot imagine the arm power needed to use this particular tool. Jack

Chris,
This is gorgeous. Sometimes simplicity in design really makes a piece standout. At least that is my opinion. Great joinery! Jack

Would using an overhead sander work, it may be easier to change paper and grits. Jack

Gar,
I have not seen a 1950's version of the Dewalt RAS with the original stand and saw intact. This is prime for a rehab. I am surprised it has not been snapped up already. Jack

Ron,
I would like the "Stoneview" and the "Esherick" book. Just pm me the payment details. Thanks,
Jack

John,
Can you give me an idea how old the drill is?
