    I'll chime in on this one... as I usually due. There is a difference between the Holtey and a Lie Nielsen. I've had the opportunity to play with a few Holteys, Anderson, Sauer and Stiener (which I...

    Don,
    You made a very good point about the sag. The top of the case of my workbench is braced lengthwise 3 times and width wide 5 times, so about 11" squares. There is no way that you could make a...

    Chris,
    I'm not sure I'd put butcher block on the top and not on the bottom. The plywood and Butcher block will move completely differently than one another. Probably be best to butcher block the top...

    MDF! I've had it as my bench top for 3 years now and it's great. I know its not traditional, but it is durable and very heavy. Here's a link to it.

    CI Falls is a very good company. I had a nice set of Auger bits that were of outstanding quality. Looks like a good bargain to me.

    Zahid,

    One type of carving tool I find especially useful is the outcannel style chisels. They are the ones that are bent backwards with the bevel on the outside of the sweep. They are great for...

    As an avid moulding plane junkie I really like the idea of using the dremel for the primary bevel. Neat trick. Sure beats the heck out of 5 minutes on a coarse slip stone. Thanks for sharing.

    Here's a tip I'll give you. Make you're own tenons. I bought the Domino a few weeks ago. Awesome tool BTW. I made about 300 tenons of the 10mm variety in about 13 minutes. All out of scrap wood from...

    You can use it on both sides of the veneer... but why would you? I'm not sure of an application that it would be called for. The "holey" veneer tape will come off easily. You can wet it to remove...

    I will respectfully disagree with Marcus on this one. The LN is certainly a more versatile plane than a vintage #4. It weighs more, is built to be more durable, has an adjustable frog (very important...

    Alan,
    I recall that tip. Pretty sure I have the issue. I had considered using cord, but then saw the leather strapping and thought I'd give it a go.
