The first saw I purchased was a bad axe 16" tenon saw with hybrid filing. I have no problems with the filing. Like was posted above, it rips less well than a rip filing and crosscuts less well than a...

Hi Warren:
I now do remember that I did read of the 42 deg. angle from you first. Sorry that I had forgotten that. I had not meant to overlook your contributions and the discussion you presented. ...
Huh, did I write this under another name? Like Derek, I also have a #4 LV custom with a 42 deg. frog. I blame Derek for doing all the work that influenced me to buy the plane set up that way. Love...
wow! those are beautiful!
I don't have any wood planes, so I don't use one all that much. The hammer I have has brass on one end and wood on the other. It is quite small. Not sure where I got it. It looks a lot like the wile...
I laminated two 8/4 pieces and ended up with a chop that was about 3.25" by the time I was done. I cut the top of the chop at something in the neighborhood of 60 deg. rather than the 45 deg. I have...
Is the demo online or was it in person. If online, I'd be interested in seeing it.
I'm helping my son make a dining room table that he gave his wife for Christmas (at least we had the top mostly done by then so she saw more than a pile of sticks). He is making it out of red oak. He...
A quick search says the guard is about $1800. I'm having a hard time picturing how a guard can cost that much.
thanks for the lead. I do think the current US style guard I have is exceedingly flimsy.
This is something I need to do.
Thanks Everyone. I'm not sure where I would find a segmented pork chop that fit the FS 30c, but I'll look around.
@Warren: I agree that one safety tip is to make sure that everything glides...
So I purchased a minimax FS 30c a year or two ago. When I purchased it, my original thinking was to equip it with the euro style guard. The rep pointed out that the euro style guard doesn't meet US...

You can build different carts, tables, etc. that have the correct pattern. I mostly use hand tools, but I use machines for all the rough processing, so these type of work tables either...
Oooh, Jim. I don't want to coopt the thread, but I'd be interested in what CNC machine you brought into your shop.
I have their drill press table (actually, I made a DP table from their hardware kit) and a Paolini rule. The DP table is fine, but it isn't as useful to have all the square fence as I thought it...
Luckily my wife sews. I asked her to make me a couple of tool rolls for my chisels and carving tools. She had some good canvas and did an amazing job.
as always my friend, thank you so much!
I've been looking at those, but I can't figure out how to have both the JessEm guides and my overhead dust collection.
Jeff.
great work Jim!
Just read the article and the planes are beautiful!
That is a great story and I can't wait to see the planes.
They look more that "pretty good". Great job!
Great job!
The best advice I ever received was to pick a system and stay with it. Doesn't matter which one as they both work. I've pretty much transitioned to the metric system for my projects. I don't notice...
