Tony, I got the Rikon 18" last year. I couldn't be happier. The features I liked was the fact that it had the largest table and the cast iron wheels. I had read several reviews and it was highly...

Clay, that is really nice!! I like it! Functional and beautiful.

James, the only real change I made was that I did not do the pinned bridle joints on the top (where the handle is attached). Didn't want to go through the trouble when I figured through tenons...

Harry - you are my new HERO!! Thanks for the pics! Those are really nice!

It's amazing how immoblie a "portable" toolbox can become. I made one last year. I got the idea from the Toolbox Book...

Just to add my $.02: I've lurked here for quite a while - don't post much. But what a great bunch of guys! Fantastic time, great food, and the antique tool store was quite an experience. Thanks...

Wow Dan, that is just awesome!!!! Both the product and the process.

Since I've turned more towards hand tools, it just seems like the only way it should be done. :) I sure hope my wife sees...

Alan, thanks for that tip about using an MDF panel on the back. That just solved the racking problem on my bench. Easy fix to an annoying problem.

Thanks for all the kind words gentlemen.

Mike, the slot that holds the backsaws has a bottom about half way down the side.

Also, the supports for the handle are under the bottom of the box. In the third and 4th pictures you can kinda...

Hi John - it's about 36" long. I did some research and the size is not unusual for older tool boxes. I recently saw one one Ebay that was just a little larger and weighed over 60 lbs with tools. ...

Hi, I've been lurking for quite a while - only made a couple posts. I'm really slow on completeing projects, but finally finished one that I thought might be worthy of some pics. I made this...

What a great wood find! And I'm glad to see you put it to good use. ;) I like the basic finish - I most always use just BLO and shellac.

I'm also with you on the drawer pull. I built my till...

Very Nice! What kind of wood did you use - and what kind of finish? Did you design that yourself or did you find the desgn somewhere. (Details, man, details :) ). If you're anything like I am...

Wow!!! Those are outstanding!!

Very nice Tom. Thanks for sharing the pics. They are an inspiration.

I'm refurbing an old wooden plough plane and have used Vince Sandy's formula of bee's wax, turpentine and lemon oil to clean the wood. It looks really nice so far. Should I use BLO on it before...

I like Dan's solution. Although my friend doesn't live close enough for beer and pizza, he did do these for me. I sent him some rosewood and brazilian cherry. These are by far the best chisel...

I also think a big part of it is just the process. It's like taking a walk or riding a horse vs driving a car. You usually don't do either of the former to get somewhere - you do it because you...

James, that's a good way to pass time. I like to visit antique stores for inspiration. :) I try to find a piece that I like and note the details that I find appealing, and then incorporate them...

Vince, that is a really nice job on the refurb. I've done about 18-20 saws myself - but see the job you've done has definitely raised my standards. Thanks for the inspiration. I really like the...
