    I bought a set of el cheapo harbor freight chisels ($7 for the whole set!), ground the 1/4" down into a triangle profile, heat treated it, and it's wonderful for cutting out tiny little narrow pin...

    I always use shellac and wax on mine. Gunstock finish (TruOil?) probaby would be fine too.

    Sean: Frank Klausz appears to eyeball his, some people use a gauge that has the proper angle on it. You can make one pretty easily too. Lee Valley sells some nice stuff for marking dovetails.

    Sean, you don't use a template or a kit. You eyeball it based on scribed lines. Seriously, it's easier than you think. A nice sharp dovetail saw, a chisel, and a mallet are all you need. Maybe a...

    Ahhh you silly wood machinists. Frank Klausz can cut better looking dovetails than your router in his sleep and he hammers his together. Are you guys all sure the OP isn't just pulling our legs?

    If you don't use it, I will take it off your hands. Gladly.

    I think the key with the paint is to leave your planes lying about while painting. Definitely right under whatever you're painting,...

    Go back and get the 5 1/2, they're rare in the wild and if it's cheap who cares about the blade, get a replacement. I love my #X 1/2 planes.

    I have a transitional jointer I use as a scrub, it works great even with the stock iron. When flattening the bottom I had to take so much off that the mouth was huge so I ground a camber on the iron...

    I built a 'real' workbench and the only thing that goes on it is what I'm working on and the tools for that project. If you have junk lying on the bench you need to build a place to put all your...

    I'm guessing you guys are power tool users. Try hand planing a table top on that 3/4 sheet of plywood laid across sawhorses and you'll see why a workbench is essential for a handtool guy. Nothing...

    Don't buy the slickplane, I think grizzly sells it, among others. The mouth .. well it doesn't really have one, it's just a blade with a big gap in front of it and it produces some terrible tear out...

    There's a point beyond which doing it by hand is just deliberate masochistic oddness (at least for me it is). I can s4s by hand and do when I'm in the mood, but I have a huge Grizzly jointer for...

    Hmmm...

    $57 for the plane
    $75 for blade and chipbreaker
    $25 for a new tote.
