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...
How would you compare the two types? I have only ever used the varnish oil.
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.
Great job John. That's quite a growing family you have there. I've just managed to log back in after the meander. My hard drive crashed taking out all my links, passwords and worst of all all my...
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?

Looks great Doug. From the posting time I guess it took a little longer to assemble than you thought.
How were the tennons on the front? How does it work? Is it kitable? Has Ben still got all...
Quite right Jim winipconf /renew is the right one. I've been off 98 for quite some time too. Could have been worse I could have put in ifconfig :rolleyes:

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...
Yes it should be square, ask for a replacement. The blade flattening and sole tweeking is normal.
Excellent write up and brilliant results.
Having tried all the saws which did you like the best / worse
Teaser! :(
I'm assuming these are tanged chisels in my reply. A couple of things you could do. Remove the handle, heat the tang to a dull cherry then hammer the handle back on. The hot tang will burn the...
You'll love the course at Rosewood. I did one a while back and it was great.
Ted like the very fine tooth gents type saws and he sells them very cheaply at the studio. As to how often 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...
Matt,
I echo Dave's sentiments and use only Western style saws. I'm sure one or more of the pull saw officianadoes with make some recomendations on the suitability of the Dozuki. One thing to...
Absolutly acheivable and a major kudos point when you get there. The biggest problem you will experience is edge life on the hard maple, it's not the worst by any stretch of the imagination but the...
Great looking bench. Sounds like you have potentially 3 problems. First check that the sole is flat side to side. I'm guessing its a little convex. The second problem is the black marks. This...
