Eric, I think you may be starting to slide...down the slope many of us have traveled. You may find that 'getting wood projects done' has much more potential for gratification than you thought. When I...

John, I've had that same set of stones, also bought from Craftsman Studio (when it was here in San Diego), for many years. I've always used 120 grit wet/dry sandpaper on a piece of marble to lap my...

So glad you joined us, John. It's wonderful to hear when someone discovers why I love hand tool woodworking so much. I turned the machines off in my shop in 2008 after losing a lung. I never...

I have the LN medium shoulder plane.....it has served me well for many years. I also have an HNT Gordon small shoulder plane that gets lots use, too. Some folks swear by the Large Shoulder Plane but...

Mike, you amaze and inspire me...but I think you already know that. This federal table is remarkable....I've seen your work and knew you were capable of this kind of precision work and it is real...

Ditto Lowell's recommendation of Ron Herman video. My saw filing was an exercise in fumbling until I watched that video (a few times I might add). I also contacted other professionals like Isaac at...

You never cease to AMAZE, Mike. What an inspiration you are. Very nicely done.

Thanks for starting this conversation, Lowell. First thing I did when I got mine 2 yrs ago was make a box for it..then one for each of my other specialty planes. Next on the learning curve was...

Go to YouTube and search for 'HOW TO SHARPEN A WOODWORKING HANDSAW WITH PAUL SELLERS' It's about a 30 minute tutorial. Also, Popular Woodworking has "SHOPCLASS' videos by Ron Herman (requires...

I was one of the first to receive it from Lost Art Press..... I,too, was wondering if it would be worth the Money. I would NOT sell mine for $80. These 2 volumes have EVERYTHING there is to know...

I have the jointer and it is a fine tool. I had to fettle it for a bit before I got it to work smoothly but never had a problem since. Blade holds an edge about as well as any stanley plane I have....

I have a Stanley#8, and ECE Jointer and this: Clifton #6 https://goo.gl/photos/u8wdJQy2jF5bsYSq8 . This Clifton is a joy to work with. The photo was taken in 2007. I've used this #6 for just about...

I got mine back last Friday and it's still out on my bench...just too much fun to put away right now. The improved depth stop is really great. I did have problems with the original stop but I...

Mike, that 'Empty Nest' & 'What're we gonna do' won't fly! Those kids will have/add kids & families to you. I've been an 'empty nester' for 17 years and haven't stopped making furniture from cribs &...

Great craftsmanship. Mike! As Always, you epitomize the ideal of meeting the furniture needs of our homes....with a GUSTO! Really appreciate your pictorials!! Thank you!
