I doubt there is very little difference beyond the first several passes on a freshly surfaced stone. The coarseness of the surface may briefly effect the efficacy of the honing action, but the grain...

Hahahahaha! :D
I am right there with you.
I believe there is some degree of rapid-prototyping for sizing and formal evaluation, but the fact that there is rarely a fully functional model ready until the entire...
I love Bridge City layout stuff. My favorites are the adjustable 4 and 14 trysquares simply because of the unusual and very practical size. I also really like the saddle squares and adjustable...
Dang! That's a jewel!
I love my Iles pigstickers. I have most of them from the svelte 1/8" to the beefest vampire-slaying 1/2".
They are perfect for what they do.
One thing that I did notice on two of them was that...
I REGRET NOTHING!!!
If the first step is accepting you have a problem, I ain't taking it! :D
I only wish I had more space for all of my stuff and junk!
I use a low angle block plane or jack and treat the board just as if it was end grain.
I don't really care about dulling my tools, I know how to sharpen quickly.
I read some years back that...
I have used the grammercy holdfast for years in a maple laminated workbench top (McMaster) which is ~1-3/4 they have always worked extremely well. I did clean them and scuff them with course...
Score! Where'd it come from?
Aww crap! Sorry Stewie!
We've all been there before! It's not a completely loss if you chalk it up as an opportunity for learning. I know that a lot of us have been reading this thread with great...
For narrower stock I will rip at the bench with the work held in the dogs or with holdfasts/clamps. You can use the saw normally (teeth facing backwards) or overhanded (teeth facing forwards). I use...
....Or your living room looks like this :D:D:D

I bought one about 12 years ago and used it for a couple of years before switching to an eclipse clone (and then switching to LV, and then to LN...).
I only use it now for my pig sticker mortising...
^^^^^^^ What he said.
It's not saw a true saw addiction until the number of saws you have squirreled away at least doubles the number you can actually use.
Get the LN, it's a good saw to start...
Heck no! This is the most interesting thread going, keep it up!
^^^^^^
This is the biggest take away from this thread. This applies to any type of learning, which if done properly, is a lifelong pursuit.
Every time I saw, I saw to within 0.00001 +/-0.000002 or better!!!!
0.00001 +/-0.000002 from where I don't know.
Somewhere probably +/- 0.01 from where I was trying to cut. :D:D:D:D
None of the rust, all of the sexy! :D
I'll bet it's hickory, Looks great!
BUT what I am saying is that we are saying the same thing! :D
The shape of the head has a functional purpose, but it also creates a clear weakness intrinsic to the use of the tool. That's not good...
I don't think that this tools was conceived of as bench jewelry. It's true that a plane hammer is a light hammer and is not meant to take a beating or inflict one. However the bench can be a perilous...
I thought the exact same thing when I saw it! I don't understand the the decision to put a ring of short grain on the business end of a hammer, albeit a light one. Not a good design.
Nailed it! I love how the profile of the sawplate heel compliments the front of the tote.
Well done!
I collect tools.
It wasn't always that way though. I used to sell the tools that I didn't use or that I got replacements for. At some point I stopped getting rid of tools and started buying tools...
