I was gonna skip the 1617 bosch and go to the 23. 15 amp soft start motor with trigger in handle. Wait a minute, when does it draw 15 amp?, under a descent load, or just buzzing along? I have 15 amp...

neanderthal, seems like a good place to try.
I used a cnc to cut the barrel and ramrod channel.
oops, cut outside the line in one area of ramrod. I now have a 7/8 inch channel instead of 3/8. I can...

I guess watching the glue lines sounds promising. Will have to get brave and try it. If I mess up to bad, will have to add a backer board.

How does one do a long scarf joint , as in joining plywood sheets.

Well at least you got them out.
Stop buy the autoparts store and get some never seize, should help with rust.
Replace them at any sign of hex socket distortion!

Maybe what you need are 2 computers, one for you alone!!!! one for garbage and family. I have never had a virus on "MY" computer or slow down.
The other one, the one the family uses (but never...

I'll be tackling an old family relic of the wifes soon. OLD treadle sewing cabinet. Crazed, scratched. dinged and the bad areas got painted over the years. UGH!

First steps need to be structure....

I knew spar to be softer, more flexible, to put up with the dimensional variance of wood outside. Would have thought its waterproofing to be at least as good if not better.
I'll just have to hang...

local hardware did not carry shellac, so I just wiped some poly on the table to seal it before the next staining spill occurs

Hmmm, my supply pile has some spar ur
that at least would have some...

but at the moment sounds like the factory probably used lacquer for its fast drying ability
will have to study more on finishing,
do you have a good thread or site recomendation

"Poly would not be a good choice...adhesion problem etc."
Your kidding!, I thought it was finish of choice for wear surfaces like floors, I would have thought an abused table would have benefited....

I see mention of water base poly a lot. I tried brand ? once a long time ago (maybe 1993), Norm on this old house referred to that brand as wonderful, healthy, ,, ,
My surface was just full of tiny...

It's a store bought oak table, somewhat of a pecan color
I've no idea, what the current finish is, but someone spilled nail polish remover on it.
WHOOSH,
was wiped with paper towel and all the...

considering the price for autocad, I'd suggest downgrading to windoze7 32 bit

Something I've done in the past is make the computer dual booting. Although at that time it was to give me a clean...

was referring to surface grinder at place I'm laid off from (still doing personal work there)

Didn't know you could heat treat that brittle stuff!
I don't have a MACHINISTS MANUAL 54 handy or I'd look it up for you.
Instead I'll watch the thread and wait. (its at work and I haven't been...

Jim, yep thats the beast
As long as I'm going to work and grinding the sole(and sides- its twisted), will do my other 2 planes as well.

Now for a dumb computer question:
how come 1/2 my sawmill...

You'll have to visit ebay for a image of craftsman rabbet plane. I tried copy and paste and can't get an image to here

My missing parts are an edge stop and depth stop.
Blade adjustment will...

"The sole (bottom) should be flat"

Thats the answer I was looking for, although , I keep thinking of my jointer haveing different heights. Will definatly grind it flat.
I did find a matching...

additional questions

laid some fine grit paper on the surface plate and polished the bottom. definatly not flat. And my unbranded rabbet plane is twisted.
I have access to a machine shop, and...

found a couple small boats at delft
including 1 sof kayak
so far can't seem to get progam to show individual sections, and have no idea how to get any useful info off the plans. SO FAR!- not giving...

SOF not ringing a bell, but stitch and glue is what I was thinking of.
My brothers stitched a couple of them, but they've all been a little to rolly for me.

looks interesting
but doesn't look like something that handles small sew together then epoxy thin plywood hulls like kayaks.

while my sharpening could still you a little work (can't shave with it)

so far my biggest problem has been getting it to move in a smaller increment.
Loosening the screw may help a lot. I've...

will have to give looser, moves while clamped a try.
The tight as while clamped (pry clamp with screwdriver) method I was instructed in , definatly sounds wrong now

thanks
