Nicely done!

My wife makes me cook the chicken on the patio...

Hmmm..... didn't know they made such an animal, will Che k it out.

Thanks Bruce

Like the shop!

Am I the only one here who "looks around" in these videos checking out the shop?

Love the video, you did an excellent job, looks pretty professional.

The project was great,...

Pretty awesome.

Are you selling these or are they just for your enjoyment?

Yeah, you are all right. After thinking about it overnight it would be best to have it done for me. I have no problem repairing or replacing almost anything but new should be done professionally.

The welder so just "thinking out loud." I was thinking a small wire feed but all that is truly secondary.

Mostly I would like to have a 220v outlet should I get a tool that needs it.

I I will...

Thanks for the concern but I've run panels before.

My my main curiosity was tapping 110 off four wire 220, I can't seem to find a definitive answer. The sub panel removes all concerns.

Since...

The problem with the house wiring is that there re too many "draws" run on one breaker. By the time electricity gets to my garage it goes through enough junctions that I have lower voltage. I'm...

Dan, hadn't thought about that. So if I run 30 amps to a 20 amp receptacle I get snap, crackle and pop?

A small panel may be the way to go.

Perhaps this question has been asked before, if so point me in the right direction please.

I'm running a dedicated line to the garage. The house wiring has too many outlets on one breaker. My...

LOL I remember working in one cabinet shop when we lived in Sacramento, the boss was a real p***k and to keep up I used one 505 in each hand.

Think I will troll CL until my allowance builds up...

Okay folks, I'm looking for opinions on half sheet sanders.

I have many years of experience with the venerable Porter Cable 505. This is my first choice, but of course it's out of production. I...

I'm with the others who lean toward 12v systems.

I have big 18v but use my little ones 90% of the time. I learned this lesson when I hung cabinets for a living. A good 12v impact with a quality...

Thanks for the advice.

Maybe be I'll get just a couple of knives.

I think what she has in mind is chip carving. She is disabled and I'm not sure she would have the strength for push gouges...

So the wife wants to spend time with me out in the shop/garage.

Bought her a used scroll saw on CL and she is enjoying it.

Last time we were up to our local Woodcraft she became very enamored...

*As I pick my jaw up off the floor*

Gorgeous!

That's sure a beauty!

Are you using loose tenons or do you make them with this machine as well?

I wood think (pun intended) that the laminated body of Mahogany is a good idea, I agree with the folks who believe the lamination actually makes a "so/so" wood much more stable.

That being said,...

Well thanks to some of the insight provided by friends here and some cyber trawling I've found my plane.

It's a Stanley #S4 Steel Smoothing Plane. This link...

Jim,

The more I research the more I'm inclined to agree with you about the Tormek and the option of the ultra-versatile strip sander.

Thanks

It's nothing special, just a scratch awl.

It's special to me because it was my grandfather's. He was a master carpenter, building houses for decades. He showed me how to use it and take care of...

The plane is 2 1/8" wide, 9 3/8" from tip to tail and 5 1/2" tall.

I've put in a couple of other photos.

I intend to use this plane in typical woodworking tasks, it's a user not a collector's...

Okay folks here goes; what kind of plane do I have?

I know it's a Stanley (passed reading in kollege).

I'm thinking it's a #4 or so.

It is in pretty bad shape so it will be a rehab project...

What a fantastic idea!

You are the King for the Day!

Unlimited possibilities with that setup.

My .02 you could make a sliding sled that goes through the t-track and have yourself a "board...
