    Spyderco Ceramic Stone, Flattening?

    Thread Starter: Jim Stewart

    I have an 8x3 Spyderco Ceramic stone, and an 8x2 brown medium stone. I read a thread not long ago and George Wilson commented that the newer Spyderco stones have swirl marks in them. Bingo!

    What happened to class? All we have is crass.

    Thread Starter: Biff Johnson

    Dovetailing off Joe Kieve's rant about music, I have my own rant. When did people stop teaching their kids how to behave in public? I have been so many places with my family lately where young men in particular (but not always) think it is socially acceptable to spout off with foul language. ...

    Today I saw a hummingbird!

    Thread Starter: Stephen Cherry

    In Maryland I have only seen a few in my whole life. And, of course, hummingbirds are one of the coolest of all birds. No time for photographic evidence though. Does anyone else have any sightings?

    Jessems new tool

    Thread Starter: Rick Potter

    Jessem just brought out a neat idea. It's a combination of Board Buddies and feather boards. It holds the wood tight to the router table, and keeps it pushed against the fence with one way wheels. They have a video on their website, and I just ordered some. No connection to company, yada...

    Day 2

    Here are the pics from day 2. I went to Lowes to try to find leg levelers but they only had cheap ones for furniture so I decided to make my own.

    Shop lighting......

    Jane, based on the description you've given I think I understand what you are building but I don't want to provide a design based on "I think".

    A chip breaker bending the iron?

    Even the thick laminated blades from woodies are bent when you tighten the chipbreaker screw. It might even be helpfull with the bedding of the iron,
