O.K., I'm confused. What should the grain look like? I'm working on a Krenov and I'm too where I need to decide which 'side' is going to be the sole. Does anybody have pictures showing what the...

I'd say hang on too what you have, and figure out a project to do. If, in doing the project, you have problems completing the project with the tools you have THEN buy the tool (or tools) you need. ...

Yeah, Bill Cosbys' 'Noah' is a hoot to listen too, even after all these years.
I forget where I saw it, but a boat builder who had an interest in Noahs' ark speculated that the instructions left...

If the elbow really gets painful, cortisone injections by a doc. can solve the problem. About every three or four years, my right elbow gets to acting up and usually two injections, a few days...

Thanks Jim for the advice and I think I now have the location in place. I'm out in the sagebrush! :D

Yeah, the Workmate would be too small for any really big cabinets, but I'm not there yet. I...

After a few posts and looking around, this is definitely a place I want to hang my hat for quite a while.

I've been a hand tool fan for years. I have asthma, and I can't breath with all that...

Fall is here with cool nights and daytime temps in the 90's! Re-finishing a wooden bench on the deck, a project I don't know why I ever started. You know the decorative iron framed, wood slat...

You hit the nail on the head, Bob. Haste will kill you when you are falling and/or bucking timber. Trees get hung up with tension on 'em, but they can look safe at first glance. You cut into it...

I don't know if it qualifies or not, but just as you come off Hwy. 50, where it intersects the 395 just outside Carson City, there is a big chainsaw carving shop on the left hand side. Hours vary...

Thank you! Now it makes sense what I'm looking at. That's an interesting idea for holding a blade in place.

Harry, what does that tool look like from the other side? What's holding the blade in?

Thanks Bob, that gives me a few ideas. I wouldn't be skidding logs of any great size, just Pinyon up out of draws and gullies. It isn't much fun trying to carry cuttings of any size up a hill at...

Curioser and curioser! The teeth look o.k., how high is the post that the wheel moves on supposed to go? In any case, if somebody altered it then it's something that I wish some other plane makers...

The chain catch, FYI, is a very small hook on the bottom of the saw, just below the sprocket cover. The other thing I found with my Stihl is that the darn sprocket cover bolts wouldn't stay on well...

LOL! A Husky saw with a Stihl bar guard! The Husky Rancher is a good saw and the equivelent of the Stihl Farm boss.

Not to hijack the thread, but do you have any more pictures of that chainsaw...

No, that's not it. In fact, the lateral lever is too high to rest on the bolt that the wheel is traveling on. The grooves in the back of the blade rest on just two teeth (that's all there are), so...

I could be wrong too, but I don't see the blade moving in or out with the movement of the wheel. I just see the back of the blade going up or down. Then again, this might not be the blade that is...

Hey, you do have the same plane! Wow, the blade that you have was (is) really used up. Did you ever find a source for a new blade? The blade on mine is in real good shape but it would be nice to...

Another vote for the Stihl Farm Boss. If you go to their site, there is a video that shows the saw cutting and throwing up so much sawdust that it just about hides the saw. The video isn't lying,...

Here's the pics of the little adjusting lever with the blade tipped over to the side:

The piece that the blade sits...

I'll see what kind of pictures I can get tomorrow of the little Seargant plane. Basically, there is a wheel with a small lever on it, and when you turn the wheel, the blade is tipped up or down. ...

Agreed that cell phones are iffy. Mine has an 'out of the area' area code and I have wound up talking to a number of neighboring dispatch centers instead of the local one that I needed. I've...

I bought these two little planes a bit over a week ago at a Pawnshop. I haven't had time to sharpen or true them up but I just couldn't stand not seeing how well they work. Both of them came out of...

Back east, where you are, it's best to cut in the winter when the sap is out of the trees IF you are cutting hardwood, decidous trees.

But for evergreens like pine, you can cut it anytime of...

So, the curved rails (top and bottom) are steam bent? How easy is it to bend this wood? What type of glue will you be using for the panels?

This will be a keepsake for sure! Scott is a lucky guy.
