We have sharpened many (more than 100) hardened A2 irons on this system and the system works quite well. I am actually surprised that the rest stays level given the workout.

There are chisels that...

Hi Steve:

Doug Evans here from Shepherd. Although I have not done a lot of research yet, we seem to have a good proportion of customers in and around Oklahoma City. Although we dont plan on going...

Our logo has changed recently to take on a Victorian look. Based on these chats, I have been gravitating towards painted MDO. You can see the basic design on the masthead of our website here:

Thanks for that. A lot of guys have mentioned the helix cutter for the tropicals.

Funny... I was out doing an Antique Mall run and I picked up a mint Stanley Router with all the bits for about $Cdn 70 (er given the way the buck has been going lately, that's about er... $US 70).

Hi Folks:

Let me begin by saying that I am normally to be found on the Neanderthal (Hand Tools) chats. We make dovetailed hand planes and have recently moved into a new larger facility. We are in...

Hi Folks:

As a maker of dovetailed hand planes I rarely find my way out of the Neanderthal (Hand Tools) forums. In the course of our business though, we are looking to purchase a dedicated...

Thanks Guys:

I use Design CAD and a DXF export seems to work best. In some of my experimenting yesterday, I may have found my answer.

Thanks again,

Doug

Hi there Boys and Girls...

Normally I find myself hanging out on the neander forum (knit your own underwear crowd). Being in possession of a CNC Router though, I just wondered whether someone...

Hi Peter;
Ben here again using Doug's name in vain.--Never did get to the KIWI--which is kinda weird given that I lived about 25 yards from its front door---we tended to go to Fiddler's Green when...

Hi Folks;
Ben here using Doug's machine.
Thank you for the concern--we're fine---Tornado passed just North of us and as Brent metioned we lost power for a while. I had the windows in my van open...

I am sure Ben will get on here tonight sometime. I really must give Ben great credit for his creativity here. I think folks had a lot of fun.

I just got back from an Albany, NY Build session on...

Ben successfully ran some Chariot bridges in brass on Friday with little apparent problem. This is our first run of metal with our own router. We sort of did a collective sigh of relief, as we were a...

Stew was in his prime when that plane was built. He died in 1899. The fron bun was probably wacked a few times as it appears to be cut down a bit and the brass striker was added a little later. The...

Does the lever cap screw have a nipple?

Are the sidewalls riveted or screwed?

There are a number of forms of the Spiers name one the lever cap. One of the latest is the script name with the...

Hi Marc:

It would not take much to convince us to head out towards Maine. To let a "cat-'o-nine outta the baize bag," we are thinking of doing some video interviews out that way for the site. In...

We are supposed to be doing a build session near Albany on June 4. Just thought I would run it by you, as I saw your location there.

It has been awhile since those original videos were done. I...

I have been editing a lot of the video we took from the California trip and I expect that Ben will have it up in the next few days.

Most of these will be build details of Ben with various groups....

Quite literally!

Despite my protestations, ole Ben declared himself Webmaster late last week by acclamation. The guy's been making broad-sweeping changes for about four days now and his latest...

Hi Michael:

I would expect about four hours total. If you want to email me direct, Doug@shepherdtool.com I can give directions. There's another guy from Cambridge that wants to build too.

Hi Matt:

Here is the new toll-free number, if you want to get in touch:

1-866-557-5512

We should be all moved in by Saturday.

Cheers,

we met up with this Steve Knight fella...

and then later in the afternoon we stopped in to meet John Economaki at Bridge City.

All in all a great trip with my Buddy Ben.

Doug

we met up with Chris Laarman who is one of the most artistic tool makers I know.

We met up with Fred Damson of Japan Woodworker while coming back from College of the Redwoods and then Mr. Fish at the Grant's Pass Build Session.
