Lovely golden patina on the wood of that plane, and a good thick iron.
On Tico Vogt's blog he suggests an alternative to stropping that I've never heard of before. I'll let him tell it....
The final step in honing the secondary bevel for my shooting plane irons...
I like this idea as it gives good support for the saw.
That is impressive.
I too like the handle design, especially the little peak on the inside curve.
How did you reduce the iron width from 2-1/8" to 1-13/16"?
Tried a simple guide next to the chuck and much improved. I might end up using a floor mounted guide with a hole for the brace shaft at the pad end. I think doing the spoke pointy part square is...
OK thanks for the input. I don't own a bit extension but may try and rig up a reference point next to the chuck or the brace pad (or both).
I've had a hollow auger (from a local shop) and spoke pointer (from hyperkitten Josh) for a few years now and finally am putting them to use. I'm making a couple of the Tage Frid stools.
First...
Limited sizes but I use these

...then plane the corners off that, then plane the corners off that, then plane the corners off that.
Me too. And they hadn't had any love yet in the poll so I voted for them (2C/H)
I take back my previous comment about the three hinges seeming out of place. It looks balanced with the three shelves.
Now this is a thread derail I can really sink my teeth into.
Oh, and oil, emitters, and a 15w light bulb in my hand tool cab.
Wow, such a beautiful piece Bill! What is the wood on the inner drawer fronts? Oops, I see "copper veneer" - never seen anything like it.
Not sure if you are looking for critique or not but here goes. It looks like it originally had two smaller hinges. I think the three longer ones is a bit much on a small door. And mdf for the...
How did you determine it was originally half a circle and not a smaller segment with a larger radius? By the curve on the individual segments?
Maybe ask on the power tool side....
I used the loose grit on glass for a few years, then broke down and bought a coarse diamond plate (DiaSharp). The grit will wear away at the glass and render it useless for flattening stones so it...
Sounds like you've got a good plan in place Bob.
All interesting stuff and gorgeous photos Stewie but maybe this should be in a thread separate from "Stanley 81 Cabinet Scraper"
Not Tite-mark but I filed a flat on the head of my Veritas marking gauge to solve the rolling problem.

A beautiful old model, respectfully restored. I love that old script.
Also not an expert but I'll answer anyway. I keep my 1000 and 4000/8000 stones in separate containers, more due to the size of the container. While I usually wipe the blade when moving from 1000 to...
Just temporarily. You can pick one up later.
I`ve certainly seen that card and the others in our park stores Normand. Nice to make the connection. Your daughter has talent, like her father!
