Caspar that is really cool. Thanks for the link.

+1 on Jim recommendations for 3 saws, double that if you are cutting both green and KD wood. I suppose you could get by with a medium for each, then that would be four saws. If you are only going...

Mike you are right. Most dancers look so intense. Nice idea to have one showing some fun in the act.

I am worse than all of you guys. I have a plywood Yamaha that I leave out all the time. My Martin stays in the case which means I play it less. I do try to keep them away from outside walls in the...

Yes this is kind of gritty humor. I suppose we could try to hone it in a little bit. Then it may be a bit more polished. :D

They probably have a skewed perspective.

Hi Everyone,

I wanted to post and update to an earlier thread about Mike's saws and delivery dates. The original thread is closed so I have to create a new topic.

My three saw kits arrived...

Just got an e-mail from Mike. He says he was not able to spend much time in the shop after his move and is now playing extreme catch up.

Carlos he mentioned that he is having problems PM'ing you...

I just sent Mike an e-mail the other day as a follow up to my prepaid order and a heads up about this thread. My order is for three saw kits with handles included. I have tried to call but just get...

Same for me. Three saws on order in early May so just coming up on 90 days. His blog on his website said they moved and he told me in an e-mail they had a machine go down. That was after they were...

Very nice Derek. Now I have some inspiration and instrucion on how to put that plane to better use.

The 5mm mechanical pencil trick works for me. It is really helpful to get the :"Poly-lead" to keep it from breaking. The Schwarz put that tiip in one of his blogs and it really helps. Regular 5mm...

Thanks Roger.

I though you were being redundant

Bob what a funnt story and a good shop tip. A thin wood shaving is a great dressing for a small cut. It is flexible, semi-sterile, absorbent, and has a nice fibrous network to facilitate clotting. ...

Where may I find powdered Citric Acid?

Thanks,

Sean I like the look of the BLO on that tote. Is that rubbed or polished after being applied? I am evem more of a noob on finishing!

I have re-examined the Japaning with an eye to preservation...

Hello Everyone,

I am restoring a Stanley 4 1/2 that I picked up. My objective is to have this a well maintianed user vs. a pristine collectable. Two questions:

1. The Japaning on the body...

Bobby, try googling "Wood River Plane reviews." there are quite a few articles out there where plane-heads put them through their paces and compare them to others. From what I have read it is kind...

Bruce I didn't mean to step on any toes. I am probably one of the most noobs here being only a few months in to this. I believe that if you were to ask a serious question in this or any other...

Are you kidding? I still do. Its kind of plane. If it were in Wisconsin it would be really cheesey. I have a little block house at #9. The guy next to me has a whopper though. One the other side...

At this rate we may soon be approaching the Sawmill Creek version of Patrick Leach's Blood and Gore.

I don't see a reason not to put some effort in to them. You could adapt them to what you want or sell off some then get what you need.

Most of the Doug Fir I have in the garage has a slight pinkish hue to it. It is really noticeable next to the pine. In log homes when Douglas Fir logs are refered to it is not unusual to metion the...

I got my first blood bath from a chisel glancing off my finger. Didn't feel the cut but thought I should look and there it was. I think it was my second day working with hand tools. Thanks for the...
