Aw man would I love to try a 20 inch grinding stone! The 12 is a little tempting, but not enough to buy it now :)

Diaper boxes, liquor boxes, baby wipe boxes. All heavy and strong. Have a buffer between the plane and all sides of the box. Lots of newspaper and tape. In the end just send it on its way and hope...
A should plane is a type of rabbet plane. Any planes with an iron extending all the way to at least one edge is a rabbet plane. It's kinda like the square vs rhombus thing.
I happened on one in 2010 when building my roubo. Great drill bit. I used it for the 3/4 in holes in my 4 in thick Roubo top and they were all clean. I think that is partly why my gramercy hold fasts...
Stewie,
that was my post on Woodnet. I didn't post it here because I have seen conversations around brand of tools explode here and I wanted to avoid that :)
So, no explosions please. :)
Another vote for the naked woodworker DVD.
LN planes are great. So are tuned up Stanleys. The bevel up planes are popular with consumers, but the bevel down are better :)
between these two...
I love all of the analysis that people put into these topics. I get a kick out of people thinking that 45 deg and O1 steel is just not good enough for 90%+ of the time. Yall keep studying, I'll do my...
Craftsman studio has it. They are a great supplier.
What's so wrong with collecting stuff? I dare say there would be very few old tools around if it were not for the collector tendencies in all of us. Anyone who has more planes than a number 5 is a...
Yep, for chisels too.
I don't see it mentioned here yet. I really like my mk 2 for honing, but I always use the cambered roller. Throw the standard roller back in the box in case you want to sell it later. The cambered...
I've never been to a woodworking event, but LN is coming to Nashville in March and I hope to make it up there. I'm sure I'll spend money that I shouldnt. :)
Simple explanation - if you choose to use camber, then camber about the same amount as the thickness of the shaving you expect to take. That way you use the whole width of the iron and don't leave...
What's wrong with the glass shaptons? I bought the 1k, 4k, and 8k and they work well for me. Are the pros a better deal or better medium?
Thanks for the info and suggestions. Plans changed a little and I found a good deal on a powermatic 45 with the reeves drive. I'm gonna give that a chance before I upgrade, but the upgrade is likely...
I'm considering buying an old delta 1460. If I do, then I know I will want to upgrade to a variable speed motor. Is there an affordable 1/2 hp setup out there? I checked Grainger, but all I find...
Looks like more fun than CAD :)
Ok,
one thing about using cambered blades is not obvious - wear. The center of the camber goes deeper in the wood and has higher pressures and thus wears more quickly than the edges. When sharpening...
I'm confused why this thread didn't stop with Warren's answer? :)
camber = shaving thickness
its more of a goal than a rigid rule. It's simple.
Diamond dresser is at least as important as the wheel type. The grey wheels dressed often with a diamond dresser will be good, but the white wheels dressed often are better. The 3x is nice, but...
I have a pretty strong preference for non-corregated planes - it makes it easier to sight the blade for setup. I have an even stronger preference for a plane that is inexpensive and in good...
Coarse sandpaper (initially), a good straightedge, a lot of patience, know where to apply pressure to selective remove high spots, know when to stop. Go from 80 grit to 600 grit. Alternative -...
Late to contribute, but I will add a little. Recently I reconditioned a Stanley number 4 that had a little pitting on the sole. I lapped out 90% of the pitting and stopped because it was nice and...
You can't go wrong with the words from Warren. I have found that not everyone means the same thing with "flat bevel". Some people mean it literally - a single flat face over the whole bevel. Other...
Slow? We have very different standards for speed. Nice work!
