I don't believe I am. He makes no distinction between hand and power tools or the use of jigs and appliances.
Ordered a replacement 2nd hand copy of the book. I looked and looked last night and...
Yes we are.
There is risk associated with the use of power tools or specifically in this discussion, CNC. Things fail. People make mistakes, software glitches. Hence the risk.
Pye's definition...
On surfaces not easily buffed with a rag I will use a shoe polish brush. The ones with horsehair bristles. Works great. If that won't fit I've used a soft bristle toothbrush.
Applying the wax,...
From David Pye's "The Nature and Art of Workmanship" :

I had a good hardwarestore brand for a long time. Good tension, etc. Then dropped it onto a concrete floor and broke the threaded portion sticking out of the handle.
I had built a turning saw...
I'm quite happy to mix and match technologies in furtherance of a project.
I have (too many?) hand tools and I greatly enjoy using them. They are my first choice for most tasks. But I also have a...
Not practical for the size of the space (12,000 sq ft). They would migrate and never be where needed if only a few placed near benches, even if all 18 benches were supplied.
Certainly viable for a...
The amber and orange stuff (Bullseye) is 3# cut. Sealcoat, sort of a super-blonde color, is 2# cut. The aerosol stuff is a light cut (1# and wax free but I can't guarantee that as I don't have the...
I've found Lee's book to be very helpful. It appears (table of contents review as I haven't read Chris' book) that L.L. has more and wider topics. If one can learn from books (and not everybody can),...
It is an entertaining read, especially if you've kept up with the other George Walker / Jim Toplin artisan geometry works from LAP.
I have some flakes stored for maybe 5 years now. No issues but I haven't sampled from every bag. I just use up a bag and move to the next. Most recently maybe a month ago when I cracked open a new...
Read that.
I've got the LN versions of the #98 and #99 and do like them. I had vintage #79 before that and was annoyed by the push-me-pull-you configuration.
Because this is a shared shop...
I let the $6 until I need to post a photo so usually it expires for about 6mo.
Anywho, we've found some replacement parts locally. :) Thanks for the offer!
And still contemplating acquiring...
I was told it was dropped. The shop floors are 12" linoleum tiles over concrete in most places and just concrete in others. Either one is hard on cast iron that isn't ductile. We've come to assume...
Short story long, at the KCWG we had a Stanly #99 side rabbet that recently suffered damage. It simply isn't reparable (and it wasn't me).
Personally I have LN 98 and 99 pair and prior to that a...

To add, Ed seems to specialize in user grade stuff. Not so pretty, maybe a ding or two but certainly can be tuned up to work. Jim's stuff tends to be higher-end and so is priced accordingly. Been...
As mentioned, there are sometimes $20/pair sets listed. It takes patience. Took me maybe 3 years of patience to find such a set and that was a while back. It was, however, when he still ran his...
They won't be the cheapest but check if Jim Bode's site has a "harliquin half set" available. His stuff is generally of good quality but typically priced near the top of the value scale.
A...
I think a thicker shelf just looks better in a bookcase.
The https://woodbin.com/calcs/sagulator/ is a good place to get a feel for how much things could possibly sag. It makes assumptions about...
Honest Labor: The Charles H. Hayward Years description
“Honest Labour” is a collection of essays from The Woodworker magazine while the legendary Charles H. Hayward was editor (1936-1966). This book...
If you liked the pages, you'll love the book...
You can find used copies with a little searching and Lost Art Press re-issued the book with updated photos.
But a quick check shows that copies...
And for those with problems visualizing it, here are the (all I hope) the relevant pages from Robert Wearing's The Essential Woodworker. A list of his books at archive.org :...
Have you browsed the Vectric hosted forums? There is a lot of good info buried in there.
It might take me a while to find it again but there is a very good discussion of the v-carve inlay...
