I know this group loves giving advice to relatively new WW. I am looking for a versatile good smoothing plane to work with some harder and more difficult wood. I currently have a #4 Groz with a...
What a piece of craftsmanship and design. Excellent
I like the train a lot. I take it down to Washington to the FDA or NIH from Providence RI most of the winter and summer to avoid the issues of unpredicted snow or thunderstorms that delay all the...
Thanks for the advise. I think all of them were true. My bench was a little off square (we had water in the basement couple of weeks ago and I forgot to level again when moved back in). I was...
I'm starting to make a bedside table with drawers out of cherry. I got some nice grained rough sawed cherry and started to prepare it. I don't have a power jointer and am trying to plane the edges...
As usual Mark your help is greatly appreciated. I enjoy looking at your site and impressed with the detail. Back to practicing... a long way to go.

I've been fixing up my basement shop and have a 13" planer and chop saw that are screaming for a mobile cart. I looking for a cart I can make where I can store one below and put the other on the...

I appreciate all the encouragment. I do learn a lot from this forum and try to contribute occasionally when I can add my $0.02. I have taken some classes at the local woodcraft but in the one where...
About Christmas time I decided I would make a Tool Cabinet similar to the one described by Jan Zoltowski in the Winter Tools and Shops from Fine Woodworking. Being a relative newbie I knew this...
My first plane was a Groz # 5 plane that I got at a woodworking workshop on setting up planes. We spent the afternoon flattening the plate on belt 120 and then 240 sandpaper tightly strpped to the...
I remember using one of those back with my father. I wonder what ever became of it???
Besides working way too many hours: watching (and trying to help) 2 older boys grow and mature, gym, bicycling, ocean kayaking, some travel with lol, lots of reading, veggie garden and fix the...
Nice job. I like the look of that crown molding.
One of my wife's Christmas present was my refinishing this unusual piece that she inherited from her mother who believed it was her great gandfathers from Maine. This has one draw that folds down for...
My wife inherited an old desk bureau (one draw folds down to a writing surfaces) that needs some work. Some of the draws are broken, back needs to be replaced but it looks like a relatively unique...

Has anybody had any experience withthe Simmonds low angle block plane?
I have been looking all over the place for a new 6" sanding pad. I have a TXE 150 random orbital sander that was made by AEG and imported by CP (early 1970s??). The part number is 932 341 259. ...
