Thanks for the inputs. With the post here and Google searching I decided to go with Maverick Abrasives belt. $70 shipped. It is a polyester backed belt. There is a less expensive belt, but it is...
Was the Klingspor the paper version? I wasn’t going to try that one. Looking at a cloth backed one.
I have a Supermax 19-38 drum sander. It is now time to replace the feed belt. There are two options in the manual, 100 grit backed sand paper type and polyurethane type. I have found both on line...
I am using an Xtool 20W D1 Pro laser. I’m not inot a lot of just laser things, but will eventually expand to do some of that such as coasters and cutting boards with laser engraving. I haven’t had...
I guess I have a different view about the laser. If you scan your signature then it is actually your signature. If you use computer generated font, that is different and not really your signature. I...
I look at your page often as you provide a lot of useful information on your chairs. I really appreciate it.
Congrats Robert
New to using spokeshave. I have the Stanley 63 and 64 spokeshaves. The original blades are not in bad shape, but want to upgrade to the newer materials for blades. Hock blades has the 1 3/4” size...
Stephen, thanks for the tip about the washer. The 64 I just bought doesn’t appear to havre the washer. I’ll check the size on my 63 and get one if I don’t already have one. I am suppose to get my 64...

I just bought a 64 not shipped yet. I believe the 64 has the same lever cap and thumb screw. I will let you know when I get it. Almost all of the 63s I looked ar had the washer, but none...

Here is a picture of my 63. As Jim stated the 63 has a different lever cap. Fortunately donor 63 (or 64) spokeshaves are not expensive. Also my blade is different as mine has a slot in the...
I also have both the Sinner and Robust rest. I prefer the low profile as it is better for me inside bowls. Hard to say if Sinner or Robust is better as I have the 14” Sinner used when that is the...
Thanks for the input. I was also thinking maybe something to do with a dowel, but that’s a guess. Amazing how many mystery tool are out there. This one was manufactured, so it must have had some...
It is hard. Somewhat dull now, but believe it was sharp when new. The only use I could come up with is using it is like the picture, but that’s just a guess.

I have had this tool for many years and have no idea what it is used for. I believe it was made in the 1950’s, but there are no markings on it. It has about a 1/2” internal diameter. It is not a...
We all have our preferences. For me I favor the V flute.
With a tenon you have a lot more mass that will increase the chance for cracking because that area will dry slower than the rest of the wood. You don have that extra mass with a recess.
The other...
I’m not one for putting a plug in the bottom. A wood turner would just think you went through the bottom. Walnut is bad about cracking. I don’t turn with the pith in the part, but if I was turning...
I usually use china markers over green wood sealer. You can get them in colors. Guessing they would work on paraffin.
I would not buy that lathe even at a reduced price. Too many issues and maybe more hidden issues. I had a lathe I had to constantly “fix” and that is no fun. Greg P suggestion of a Harvey T60S above...
Now I understand
I don’t understand the statement needs to be a dry rotary vane pump. There are a lot of pumps that will work. I use the Thomas 2660 piston pump, Gast makes a similar pump. I would check Frugal Vacuum...
I have the Hope system that is an articulating arm. It can withstand a catch. I’m not sure it is still available in the US. My choices would be the Jamison or Bosch systems. As far as a smooth...
I have had two of Ken's blue drills. First one started shooting sparks out of it and second one just quit. I bought the drill through Craft Supply and they stood behind the sale and refunded my...
