    It's perfectly posible to use just hand planes to dimension and joint boards. It's the way I do it all the time as I don't have a power planer or jointer. If you intend to do a lot of it I'd go for...

    I'm a sharpening junkie too. Been doing it for 20 years and it's still one of my favourite things. There is just something about sharp edges, I sometimes wonder if I should try therapy. I have...

    Oh yeh sure did. Problem was the CD was unreadable. I have diligently backed up to rewritable CD over the years but had never tried to recover anything. It simply didn't work! Neadless to say I...

    The trick is to get it on quite thinly, wait an hour then wipe it off really well, this is the important bit! If you leave it too long it is harder to wipe off. I give it a once over with a rag to...

    Sounds like you are using the one with bees wax. The straight oil varnish is clear from the get go, but also benifits from a very gentle warming. There are three flavours as I recall.

    I have a set of Sorbys too. They were a birthday present from my wife and to be honest I have no complaints about them at all. I have choped mortices in Oak and Maple as well as various softwoods...

    Now that's pretty much what Julia thinks I use them for. One day a piece of furniture will emerge from my shop, if only to make room for a few more planes :D So let's see; I think I've got a...

    Now I'm not saying I'm suseptable to marketing, but 20 1/2 would be a good size to have between the 13 1/2 panel I've got and the 24 Jointer I'm working on receiving as an early Christmas present at...

    Hey Doug is that what they call targeted marketing? ;)

    That's quite a few infills there. Is that an ebony one peeking out of the middle?

    I had the same question a little while back. The gentlest option is to rap the handle on your bench while holding the blade. Do this a few times and then pull and it should come off. Thanks to...

    Alas you need both. Well, you can make do with just the crosscut but it will probably put you off handcutting tenons. The teeth are very different for ripping (with the grain) vs. crosscut (across...
