That's a neat design, Derek. I left the site right after submitting my post, so I didn't even notice that you'd already replied.

Here's the first Google result I got: http://www.popularwoodworking.com/woodworking-blogs/chris-schwarz-blog/sticking-boards-bodger’s-mitts

It sounds like a simple workholding device made of a...

Many thanks, Stan! I have a 3" Arkansas stone in my ski tuning kit, but I'm not sure it would be easy to handle in this context. Would a ceramic waterstone like my Shapton Pros work (assuming...

What is a 'bent' used for?

Stanley, how would this be done? Could I reduce the set without special equipment?

I started pretty recently with Japanese pull saws, but like Prashun I had so much trouble finding info that I've been considering switching to western saws simply because there's so much info on...

Here's a page describing the Reverse Tyler's Twist for golf elbow, for those of us who don't want to watch a whole youtube video.

These days most post offices have a self serve kiosk with a scale that you can just plop your item down on to get a weight without even starting the buying process.

Don't worry about bugging the...

I ordered a slew block last night too. I bounced back and forth between the skew and the low angle block until I had no more time, at which point the skew was the one that happened to be in my cart....

I don't know what the difference is between you and me and all the folks who love sharpening with DMT stones, but I had the same experience after trying to use one as a substitute for a grinder...

That's actually the best option. I didn't offer it because there's a lot of trash talk about swamp coolers, but I'd take one over A/C any day of the week. The right kind of ventilation (cracked...

Ugh, Utah is positively temperate compared to Tucson! As it is I spend all summer grumping about the heat because it just doesn't agree with me, but if I lived in Tucson I'd have to be a complete...

Oops, my bad!!

If humidity were the culprit it would be hard to find a sound piece of furniture anywhere in the Intermountain West. Given how stifling hot even an insulated building gets after baking in the desert...

Lately I've been reading fiction set in the 15th and 17th centuries, and am up to the late 1400s after 200 pages of "The English And Their History" (which might just be the death of me)....

Thanks, saved me a post.

eBay price research tip: once you understand what you have and can get a nice list of search results, there's a checkbox on the left side of the screen that lets you narrow the search to just items...

Thanks, Patrick, I wondered why regular superglue doesn't really work. It would be great to have something that would close a cut while blood is still present, so I might give VetBond a try.

Flattening convex chisel backs as a sharpening newbie left me with a lot of those kinds of cuts, especially with narrow chisels that make it hard to keep the edges of my fingers away from the burred...

Two day shipping usually translates to three or four days around here, especially around holidays, but their delivery estimate is usually spot on, and the couple of times I was counting on a delivery...

I do Costco even though I'm only buying for one because they sell a number of specific products (mostly supplements and OTC stuff) I use all the time significantly cheaper than anywhere else,...

Great pictures; I finally understand how spokeshaves work. And congrats on figuring it out on your own!

Smarter? More gifted? I guess DNA sequencing, spectacular advances in astrophysics, getting to the cusp of genetically-based medical treatment, GPS, are just more examples of modern mediocrity. And...

When I'm replying to a post which quotes a previous post, only the last post's text shows up, not the text the last post was quoting. My guess is that vBulletin doesn't support nested quotes.

Having little to do on a Sunday afternoon, I looked at the vBulletin forums. If I understand the purchase page, an upgrade to VBulletin 5 includes the latest version of the mobile suite (VBulletin 5...
