Pick some small projects for the shop (box to hold glue, wall shelf with housing dadoes for finishing supplies, small cabinet with dovetailed sides), use one of the woods noted above and finish to...
There's an episode of The Woodwright's Shop called "The Venerable Bead" that may be what you're looking for.

Nice looking dovetails.
I need some friends like that!
Nice haul.

Very nice.
Very nice, Mike.
And you know it'll last forever because you built it.
There just may be some pizza boxes on it when you see it in its new home.
A small quick release clamp would be fine. Ditto C clamps. If you decide to try the fake 140 way just make sure the clamp pad doesn't overhang toward the pin board side.
And if it's too...
Clamp a board across the width.
Heck, clamp the board flush with your baseline and you've done the 140 trick without the 140.
And word to the wise: mark your faces. Mark your faces. Mark...
Do it without and see how things go.
I've done it both ways, and didn't find it made a difference. The gaps I have had to deal with were because of other things.
Yikes.
As for bandsaw squeaking, only when I've cut pvc.
Maybe you can use that piece as a source for wear strips for something.
Welcome back, George. Great to hear from you again.
Congratulations on the new lathe. And Warren/Chris, thanks for the information and the pics.
We visited the new Globe Theater in London over the summer. They followed traditional construction...
I'm a lefty, have that plane, and use it in my vises without any trouble.
And it is a blast to use.
Get it if you want it.
ETA: There's no skew involved in these planes. The only...
Beautiful!
What's the finish?
Looking good, Steven.
I like my Stanley #3; it's quicker than larger smoothers.
Nice find.
I probably would have made the same purchase.
The lever doesn't have to be pretty to function. I would just smooth any jagged bits and move on.
The clouding over you...
Bandsaw and planer would be at the top of the keep list.
The advice above is excellent. Keep things as they are, do some projects, and keep track of what power tools you've used.
On a...
Well heck, Stew Denton is just around the corner from you in Boerger.
I love my leg vise and use it frequently. I only adjust the pin when needed. i.e. there are some tasks where I just need to hold the work still while I deepen a knife line, or pare toward the...
Prepare for a deluge of information, Gordon.
Short answer, gleaned from others here and elsewhere:
For smoothing, the chipbreaker is extremely important in controlling tearout. For this...
Nicely done.
Awesome find. Get her put together and show us some more.
