I read the original post and my immediate thought was "check the brushes". Classic symptom. I note Brian also said this. We are the two greatest minds here, so do it! :)

Jimmy, I suspect that the problem is caused by a compound curve, that is, the combination of a dip (sway back) and curve in the back support (steel back). If you remove one and not both, the problem...
Patrick, to be correct, that is not a Moxon Vise. That is a double screw end vise. A Moxon Vise sits on top of a bench (or tablesaw) as its purpose is to hold work at a more comfortable height. This...
Tony, here is my Veritas Large Smoother (modified sides, so it looks different) planing HIGHLY interlocked grain AND into the grain ...

Tony, if you are finding setting up a BD plane difficult, and you work with wood where there is a threat of tearout, then a BU plane may be your answer. Both BD and BU planes have their pros and...
Hi Brian
The reason I went with the adjustable bench stop is just that - it is adjustable for height. It can be raised a few mm, or up to 20mm above the height of the bench. This makes it a...
Brian, you may wish to add this stop at some stage. It is very durable - mine is Jarrah and undamaged after several years, and I had the same on a previous bench. It there is any chipping, just plane...
Mark, first I ran lines on each side of the seat support (legs) using a template - which was placed on both sides of the seat supports ...

All the ends of the arms are squared this way, however the saw has a maximum cut height of 75mm and these parts are 90mm....
Here is the work done today, which was preparing the arms before shaping. Critical work, and the day went well. This was mainly due to working methodically. Looking back it all seemed so logical and...
Thanks Patrick. I hope you post your work here.

Brian, I am curious why you went with this system - which looks like a permanent fixture - rather than the flexibility offered by the adjustable height of a stop built into the end of a bench ...

I do not use the Ruler Trick, but did so for a while about 20 or so years ago. In my opinion, if done correctly, it would not affect shooting and is not the cause of any issues. We are talking 1/3 of...
Beginning the arms and back
The legs and seats are done and it is time to move to the arms and backs. Once again, the chair to provide a context of where we are headed ...

Steven, seriously, that is far too long! My patience is fine for productive tasks, but would be sorely tested if I needed to spend 10 minutes every time a blade needed to be sharpened. I rather doubt...
One of the issues when shooting mitres, such as those for narrow picture frames or mouldings is that the end of the mitre has no support. By contrast, shooting mitres, such as wide boxes sides, which...
Brian, you have some beautiful tools, and really enviable machines - most if which are a testament to your handskills and mechanical acumen. All part of a dream workshop for many, including myself....
Mark, the 4" is fairly new, about 12 months. The only downside to is is that the blade is Imperial. I cannot find a Metric version. The 6" is Metric and about 5 or 6 years old. The 12" has a few...
Mark, for all you know the Woodpecker may be faulty. The ONLY true way to check a square is the flip-and-mark method.
Having said this, the three Starretts I have are all square: 4", 6" and 12"...
Hi Aaron
Both the LN and Veritas Custom planes are excellent. I own the Veritas, and can speak with some experience about the handles and choices. I wrote a very detailed description of these,...
Hi Luis
Do not glue on the back (of the cabinet). Just use screws as you may wish to remove it some time in the future.
Dovetailing the case is fine, but through dovetails in a small cabinet is...
Thanks Jeff. The legs were glued and screwed (from the inside) ...

Hi Maurice
That thread was written in 2011, and the rules have been re-written since then. Time was that a high cutting angle was the first defence against tear out when planing. now it is the...
I am building two of these out of Rock Maple, mostly with hand tools ...

Look at the work of the late David Savage. What stands out here? https://finefurnituremaker.com/
