Why Algebra?
Because its the foundation of advanced math and science. Want to do physics? yep, need algebra. Chemistry, engineering, computer science, medicine, yep those all require algebra as...
I like the LN Boggs shave. It't really easy to adjust once you figure it out. I almost never tap the blade, but the body of the shave. They are a great tool, in use and appearance!
I work in the oilfield, which has it's own interesting units! they are a mixture of imperial and measurements that are just made up. some places in the world work in metric in the oilfield, but...
Brazilian Rosewood is a highly regulated wood, you will likely have a hard time selling it unless you have the requisite paperwork to go along with it. I agree with Matt, Guitar builders would love...
I like Chris, and I would think he will put out good stuff, but agree wit the others, the hold fasts would have to be a lot better to get me to change from the Gramercy ones, which I like and are...
I have some PEC, Mitutoyo and Starrett squares, along with the BORG ones as well. The Starrett are clearly the best, and when I use the others I wish they were as nice as the Starrett. No more...
I built a strip canoe using the Canoecraft book. It was tons of fun, and I really want to build another, or maybe a kayak. I knew nothing about boat building, and really don't have any big wood...
You now have nothing to lose but time and some epoxy. If it doesn't work, or keeps cracking, no real loss. Worst case scenario, you can take the blade and make your own plane with it.
The Narex are made in the Czech Republic, the wood river are made in China. If there is a reasonable alternative to China, I will take it. I would get the Narex
I like most beers - some more than others
Oskar Blues -I like Old Chub -best beer offered in a can
Ive never had a bad beer by Sierra Nevada
La fin du monde by Unibroue is excellent if you can...
When we chose to not put our kids in pre school and have our wife teach them at home, our freinds and neighbors couldn't believe that we would deprive them like that. Its amazing that our kids now...
You have to have three things for corrosion to occur - metal, electrolyte (water) and electro-chemical potential. living near the ocean is much worse because you have more of both water and...
Ive had mine about a year and a half,and haven't broken any teeth yet and I have cut a lot of different hard woods. Who knows, the teeth may all break off tomorrow.
Sounds like you already answered your question, get the LN to keep your wife happy!
I like to leave the dowels I use a little short of the surface (1/8" to 1/4") depending on the thickness of the wood I am joining. I then cut plugs with a plug cutter, and glue them in the holes to...
I have a couple of Witherbys that are excellent. They sharpen up really easy, and seem to get sharper than the other chisels that I have. The one was my grandpa's, and I got the other at a pawn shop...
Adam,
I tapered the handle, and also pinned it. I used oak for the pins, and just left them short of the total thickness. I then used a plug cutter and made the plugs from whatever wood I had. I...
Thanks Jeff, it is 60 degrees. The book said you can put the blade in bevel up and use it as a 90 deg scraper, but i haven't tried that.
Thanks Chris!
Yes I just glued them in. I like the way they look but it is a little more fussy to set than the cross pin. That could also just be that the size of the blade makes it a little harder. But i think...
Please see a few wooden mallets that I made.
While they weren't all hand tool made, (the carving mallet was done entirely on the lathe) I did some on each by hand. The handles were shaped with a...
Thanks for the nice comments everyone! I wish I could take better pictures, they really look better in person. Matthew, I have attached a photo of one handed use, it seems pretty comfortable, but i...
Hello everyone,
I have been reading for a while, but haven't ever said much. I thought I would break the ice with some pictures of some planes I made. Sorry for the bad photos, but my basement is...
