Here is where to find the video on refurbishing diamond plates. I was just curious. http://www.shapton.com/#!tutorials/cuy0
I start with the Shapton 2000 then 5000 then 15,000 pro stones. The 1000 shapton is a fairly aggressive 1000. I like the hardness of the 2000 grit stone and I findd it stays pretty flat. After...
I have used both Shapton glass stones and Shapton pro's. The glass stones work well but wear very fast. They were supposed to be formulated for A2 steel but I do not see or feel any difference. I...
Just to make you nuts, check this out

I bought the Atoma as well but 20 bucks is mighty tempting
I have not tried this plate but I get most of my stones and supplies from Chef's knives to go, they are great!
Hand powered Chain saw:p
If I had to go with One plane ( I am sure only one plane would cause my eyes to twitch and my hands to shake), but if I had to I would select a LA jack plane. I like the Lie Nielsen. This plane is...
You can't go wrong with anything from Bad Axe tools. Mark is a sharpening and set guru. His saws just perform surprisingly well. I actually think the $275 price tag is quite reasonable for a hand...
In the last year or so I have narrowed my honing down to two stones. I learned on the hand crank grinder followed by soft arkansas to hard arkansas. Now I have a fancy Tormek and establish the hollow...

I like the Naniwa 400 stone and the Shapton Pro 320 (splash and Go). Both can remove a lot of material but not leave such deep scrathes that are hard to subsequently remove. If you really...
Thanks for sharing this. I was just on the phone with Jeff Toycen. I sent him some scrapped planner knives to play with(HSS). The tradesman grinder can also accept all Tormek accessories so it may be...
I am a big advocate of slow speed and an 8" CBN wheel. Most people, myself included, used stone wheels for speed which also means heat. Much of the heat is generated by the stone. With a stone wheel...
I think every woodworker should rip a piece of 2" maple with a hand saw because you will go right out and buy yourself a band saw. It's like going to Chucky Cheese on a Saturday, you go out and buy a...
Let's see; I have 3 Festool Routers, 2 PC routers, 1 BD Cyclone, 1 Bosch, 1 triton and 2 laminate trimmers. So I guess 10. Oh and an old craftsman, so I guess 11. Geeeez I need to call Dr. Phil or...

I use Atoma 140 plate for stones coarser than 800. I use a 400 for about everything else. I do use a 1200 Atoma for really fine stones (15,000 and up) and follow on the fine stones with a...
One thing you might consider. If I have a stone that is visibly cupped or dished, I use an old worn dia flat or a coarser stone to remove the high spots and get the stone reasonably flat. Then I will...
Anybody try using a Tormek for this?
I have always found the rabbeting block planes to be a clumsy device with so much weight hanging off the edge. I do not see much use for them. My very old clifton 410 on the other hand is one of my...
Great Review Derek! I have many dovetail saws and some very very fine saws. (Lie-Nielsen Pax, Bad Axe, Klaus &Pedder, Wenzloff). I freely admit I have a saw addiction. I have found the Gammercy to be...

Sharpening is a very personal thing. I think I have purchased or tried about every "it's fast and fool proof" gizmo out there. I learned to sharpen on a hand crank 6" grind wheel and then...
My sharpening (with the exception of a few fine Japanese blades) has evolved to 1000-5000-15000. I have a 30,000 but use it only on a few. You will notice a difference in sharpness but mostly I have...

Make sure your view is enhanced or enhanced with overprints. Draft view or normal will show "PS". Wireframe view will show nothing.

Hi Everyone
I have been away a bit. Illness and the death of my father have kept me away from my work, other than the usual day to day stuff. I am back and I have been doing some raised letter...
SWEEEEET! Nice plane
