    Kees:

    I think that's clearly a true statement. I haven't really given a lot of thought to the effects of lamination.

    Kees:

    Note that the increase in yield strength between the annealed bar and the hardened one can be really large, like a factor of 5 or 6 in some cases.

    Put a hardened bar and an annealed (dead soft) bar of the same stuff and the same size and shape in your vise. Hang the same weight on each, and they will droop exactly the same amount, UP TO A...

    The conjectural diagram above (with the stars) could not be more wrong. As the first diagram notes, Young's Modulus is equal to the slope of the linear part of the graph. Young's Modulus is about...

    It appears that the vast majority of these shaves have been filed by owners; it was really tough to find one that matched the patent drawing (#293651). Dealers usually make a big deal about an...

    George:
    The Kelly (?) reproduction is made without the flat and with slightly larger handles than the original. The round body is simply left round.

    Just checked my #20. You've got the pitch right at 20 tpi, but the diameter measured 0.260-0.262 inch (not so round). A 1/4-20 screw will thread happily into the hole, but it is unusably sloppy. By...

    Jerry:

    The "other term" is "pillar file," although other types can and do have safe edges. Search McMaster for "pillar file" and you will find a small selection (used to be a lot more sizes, I...

    I assume you're talking about the "Finishing Broad Axe (Austrian Pattern)"? Note that there is an arc weld between the blade and the poll/socket part, not even cleaned up particularly well. That is...

    Just checked my Craftsman and it is within a thousandth of 9/32" on the working part and a somewhat shy 1/4" (0.244) on the threads. The threads are indeed 24 tpi, so you're not getting one of those...

    Tim Kelly used to make replica #1 shaves and replacement blades for originals. I don't know if he still does, but his phone still comes up in some searches as 760-376-4804. Worth a try.

    Pexto, Millers Falls, et al made universal auger handles to clamp on big auger bits to make 'em into T-augers. You can do the same thing with a hunk of ash or hickory by working an appropriately...

    Compare the Continental bowsaw at Highland Woodworking. The extra blades are definitely Putsch, so I assume the saw is too. I've got several of the blades but haven't gotten around to building the...

    Is it something like a Disston No. 240? That one was filed rip, but was made (and marked as) for cutting metal. I think the metal cutting saws were heavily tapered and used without set (IIRC).
