A slight clarification. I said I was -considering- selling them.

The reason is because I'm switching over to hollow grinding and I've read where some advise against that for Japanese chisels. My...

Jim,

I've looked through my order history and haven't been able to find it. Called Customer Service and she was able to find the order for the dovetail and paring chisels but not the bench...

I'm considering selling off my Japanese chisels but I need some help pricing them. I bought them a number of years ago and don't remember what I paid for them. They are Koyamaichi, mostly bought from...

Woodcraft is offering them if you'd prefer black instead of red. I have a set on order.

Larry,

You won't see any problem with Freud shouldered blades in everyday use. It's not until the brake is triggered that the shoulders become a problem, slowing the time to stop the blade. If the...

I believe I've seen Sawstop say there is no problem with coated blades. I can understand the issue with shoulders since they could limit how far the teeth penetrate the brake and therefore how...

I'd double check that it won't scratch the glasses. They tell you not to use tissue because of scratching. I would think dryer sheets would be worse. Maybe not, but I'd verify first.

Check with John Teneyck. He makes a shooting board that can do everything. Do a search for Universal Shooting board.

Cliff

One possible cause is that the surface and the inside of the board are not the same moisture level. So if you keep slicing off the same side the difference between moisture levels of the outsides of...

Emphatic +1. John incorporated my suggestions to add Veritas shooting board tracks and the ability to shoot miters on either side to give me my perfect shooting board.

Rick,

Keep in mind that you'll need a jointer to match. Add the price of a 16" jointer to that and you may be approaching new price of a A3 31.

Or, more accurately, non repair.

My 6 year old ETS EC 135/3 gave out earlier this week. When I'd turn it on it would try to spin up and then shut down. No indication of any problem beforehand....

I've found that being able to remove them easily comes handy when they conflict with another jig.

Handworks has been an every other year event, except for the covid years and is held at the Amana colonies in Iowa. There was one this year so if there's a next one, which is not guaranteed, will be...

I had one of those for years and it's a great saw. It's a hybrid cabinet saw with cabinet mounted trunions and a 120v 1.75 hp motor. Had absolutely no complaints with it. Only reason I moved it on to...

Brent,

If you can't find a Hold Heat look at a wax warmer, https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B08LNR3X18/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&th=1

You can calibrate it to the temperature...

My Rikon won't start if the doors are open or the blade untentioned. Really like those features.

Jeff,

I've got one I've been considering moving om. I'll send you a pm.

I just checked and Veritas makes 5 fences.

Bob,

Completely off topic, but I couldn't pass up a reference to Ansel Adams. 50-60 years ago I was obsessed with black and white photography. Carried a camera with me everywhere, worked in a...

Something to keep in mind is that Roy Underhill will be speaking Saturday morning. If you're wanting to see that get there early. The line is -very- long.

If you're planning on just the Festhalle...

George,

What are you asking for these?

Bobby,

Find a bag that will fit around the larger diameter, dust collector or drum. Cut a section off then use it to be the transition, clamping it to fit each of the two diameters.
