Thanks for the reply! I took some time with it today and took it completely apart to ensure that all of the pivot points/bushings were reasonably tight and that there were no obviously flawed. After...

I recently picked up a Dremel Moto Shop Scroll Saw for $2.00 at a yard sale. This is an older unit with a place to attach a sanding wheel or a flexible shaft to the motor directly.

This is...

I recently picked up a box of bits from my brace and along with the countersink bits that I was really after, I found a good selection of standard twist drill bits with a square drive to fit in my...

I am glad for the results of the research on this saw. I was looking forward to adding this to my users. It will be a good project for me to bring back. I particularly like the feel of the handle and...

I just picked up this back saw the other day and was wondering if anyone had any information on the maker, age or potential collector value. My intent is just to clean it up, sharpen and use it but...

The legs are tapered on the insides only...I think I better go check now to see if I tapered one leg incorrectly though.:eek:


This exemplifies my comment on things I learned regarding not taking...

Well... where to start. Here's a free form brainstorm in no particular order:

A scrub plane is worth its weight in gold when working with rough sawn stock. Had I bothered to sharpen mine from the...

This was actually an afterthought. I had ripped the legs by hand from rough stock and planed them square. A friend of mine that is an excellent woodworker recommended that I taper the legs suggesting...

Well this is my first real project hand tool or otherwise. Overall I am pretty happy with it even with all the flaws. I learned a lot that will translate well to my next project. The stretchers are...

I just had to do this exact operation over the weekend working on my sawing bench. In my case, I was creating dados for the 2x4 stretchers to join the 2x4 legs. Each dado was 3/4 deep by 3-1/2 wide ...

Thanks for all the responses. Once I get mine built, I will post some pics.

I am thinking that I want to build a sawing bench and seem to recall some threads on here not that long ago about sawing benches but cant seem to find them now. Anyway, I am wondering if anyone has...

Well here is what I currently have and it works pretty well. I think that the next upgrade I make will be a U clamp right near the edge of the bench top to keep the pipe from pushing away from the...

I have done almost exactly the same setup on my "bench" as is shown in the link http://www.woodmagazine.com/wood/sto...7246560052.xml Instead of cutting off the top of the pipe flange I cut a small...

Still a complete noob here but I took the plunge and started working with my King 1000/6000 stone even though I may want to go to a wider stone eventually for my bench plane irons as my current stone...

First off I am completely new to woodworking and sharpening. I have been lurking around here for some time and have now done enough to start to have some questions.

I have a small collection of...
