Did you use the stock blade that came with it or did you upgrade and which blade did you end up going with?

I’ve been looking at both the Harvey Ambassador vs the Alpha and for the life of me, I can’t figure what makes the Alpha worth $1000 more than the Ambassador. Does anyone have experiences either? I...
Oh and I have a Grizzly G0555 bandsaw! Forgot about that! So I’m set with the major stuff honestly. Just upgrading here and there where needed. Maybe next upgrade should be a mini split for the shop...
I know it’s a tough question to answer without knowing what I already have and the size of my small shop (13x25) So I already have a Grizzly 12” Jointer with Helical head, I just ordered a Harvey...
Hey guys,
I got a little Christmas bonus and I’m torn on what to spend the money on. I’ve narrowed it down to a few things and I’m torn:
1) Sawstop Router Table to attach to my table saw with the...
I appreciate the feedback. I think I found a layout that will work keeping the table saw and you’re right, move it with the right side against the wall and it works well. My next focus has been dust...
445928Hey guys and girls! This is kind of a multipart thread so I apologize for the jumping around. I’m trying to reorganize my space and make some big decisions as far tools (upgrades and...

I've always wondered which is the correct way to do this? When gluing up a large panel (say a dining room table top or something) is it better to flatten one side and square the lengths to it and...
That's awesome! I might add that to bench! Time to head to the lumber yard!
how did you attach the back? Into a stopped rabbet or groove? It seems like no one ever takes pictures of that step. Haha
I had a should plane once. Sold it as I never used it. I find that I tune tenons with my router plane, and sometimes my skewed rabetting block plane from lee valley. The shoulder plane just never got...
I think I have a picture of this on a blanket chest I made.^^^ let me see if I can find it.
I can tell you that use Paul sellers method with very much success on everything from knives to plane blades to just about everything. Shaved hair off my arm better than Mach 3 every time. It could...
Mike, in reference to the end vise. You could technically do without one, but I will say that it's very convenient to have on for rough planing boards. I know guys get buy without vises at all, but...
Ok, you guys talked me into keeping them. I kind of wish I had a better shop setup then where I don't have to switch the dust collector between each piece and all that. Like they were set up and...
Ok, let me preface by saying that when I first got into woodworking, I started buying up every power tool there was (Mostly craigslist buys) and every nifty jig from taper jigs to dovetail guides to...
I've been doing most of my dimensioning lately by hand and I still try to figure out if it's best to dimension my pieces first before crosscutting them to length or after? I'm working on a stool now...
Yeah I'm in maryland and SYP is hard to come by and most of it is pressure treated. Douglas fir 4x4's work really well for a top. I made my workbench out of "whitewood" laminated for the legs and...
That's what I figured. I have a project I'm working on with some reversing grain, but I hate sanding. I've rectified some of that by scraping where I got a little tear out and I was planing using...
I was wondering how many people apply their finish right from the hand plane vs sanding before finish? I've tried both, but I can't decide.
It almost looks like the plow plane has a removable nose piece to also act as a bullnose plow plane like the old Stanley 41's (I think that's the number???). Would be a nice feature to set it apart...
Yes I finally pulled the trigger on some items that have been sitting in my cart for like a month and free shipping pushed me over the edge back to broke. haha! I picked up a low angle smoother. I...
Haha I was thinking the exact same thing^^
I like that hot dog attachment! Did you make that yourself?
