That is a cool solution too, Bill!

Hey gang!

I have been noodling on a way to have a "sink" in my shop that does not have running water. I got tired of having to walk down to the house (no small task in the icy winter weather up...

I do use them. I do like them, but after the Festool Domino I use them less often now. The one main advantage is they are "self clamping" while the glue dries. I have a large number of clamps,...

My best friend was battling GBM/brain cancer for 9 1/2 months. Once he was moved to hospice (the people that work there are angels on earth...) I needed something to keep my hands busy and mind...

Blue shop paper towels...

I spent the weekend milling up some ash to make another traditional style workbench. I used traditional tools for the mortise and tenon joints on the 12+/4 stock... I have to say I am a bit sore...

Finally got my plane till hung on the wall and filled. It is made from knotty alder and was my first shot at a French polished finish. Great weekend in the shop!

I have the original sales sheet for mine, in the shop. I can grab it later this evening. I seem to recall the combo of the mortising attachment, chuck and bit set was over $1000 new (as suggested...

Mr. & Mrs. Hock,

Thank you for making a great product and sticking with it. I appreciate your contributions to the community and you have made my hobby and relaxation time a better experience. ...

In a pinch, you can use a piece of blow molded plastic (I always keep a few thicker water bottles or Pure Leaf Ice Tea containers from the quickie mart) and a heat gun to make a "shrink to fit"...

Darren, I wasn't "in the wind.." I was waiting on payment info from you. I sent you another private message.

Hi Darren!

I am interested in this plane.

Best,

Robert

I have that exact set and can verify that is a lovely set of chisels to work with. Good luck!

We get some pretty amazing sunsets here. This is from when I was moving in and had stuff everywhere.

Thanks Greg! Your eyes spy correctly. That is a Mini-Max J/P combo. I had the amazing opportunity to build my dream shop, prior to the pandemic. I will put up a full "shop post" at some point,...

I have been looking for the non-existent TS75 for a long while. I managed find a used, one with an extra blade, clamps and 2 tracks for $700, which I think was a pretty good deal.

But I later...

Hi Tom. I have one that is in this plane till . I can get a few more pics tonight, if you are still looking for one.

I have done almost exactly as Derek, other than I use the collection of broken hacksaw blades that I have gathered over the years.... :cool: I like that they are thin and have made many marking...

Greg,

I would stand it on end and use the inside space as a tool cabinet for hand tools. This may sound weird, but I think it would be a great use (where are you located? I would be interested,...

Chris,

First, it was great to meet you and your wife. Sounds like you guys have done a lot of work to your house. Plenty to keep your time occupied.

The offer of a shop visit is always open. ...

Now that is just neat! I might have to do something like that for the mortising unit on my FS35. I really like the incorporation of the clamp rack. As for a drafting table, (don't laugh) I am...

I do a lot of neander type stuff and this is just like the polish off of a nice smoothing plane, never could have convinced me that it was just off the saw (or jointer for that matter.)

My current favorite is a propane infrared heater! Dang it is cold here.

I have a couple tools I absolutely love. The little LV 4 inch double square is always on the bench and I have a piece of a...

Jim,

I guess it is alright...if you are into quality, accuracy, safety, power, and vibration-free cutting.

Seriously, I had a great time helping. It was great to spend some time with some...

Shiraz,

I have not started the project yet, but I have started drafting a couple ideas for my 1023. I think I have settled on heat molded plastic, as I don't want to take the chance of something...
