Since just making my own wagon vise, I've been meaning to get this down on sketchup. Hopefully uploading the straight sketchup file is ok. The U shaped channel is miter track extrusion, and the...

Well hopefully the Toronto stores have them in stock, because I was at the Halifax store yesterday and none in stock and aren't getting them till the 9th. Second time a product has been posted to the...

How about making some #39 Dado planes? 1/4" thru 1" in 1/8" increments?

Derek I've been looking at getting the 5", but might hold off if he's going to make a 45deg tilt version with quick release. Do you know if that's something he plans on selling regularly or special...

The old golfers trick of lead tape is my pitch. A good golf/pro shop should have some. If not the online store golfsmith sells the stuff, 1/2" or 1" wide.

Just a few shots of the tool box I'm finishing up. It's for my partner for knitting, but I thought I'd toss some tools for looks. The tools on the loose piece (soon to be lid) would be a tray the...

I haven't read about anyone using glass covered with plastic laminate and lapping grit yet. The glass is perfectly flat, and the plastic is soft so the grit embeds into it as you move the stone...

I think you'd be best served with an old #5 as a fore plane. They're a dime a dozen and having a dedicated fore plane is a must in any neanderthal tool kit. Any plane that's worth buying is in good...

Just made a notch in a scrap wood piece the shape of the top and slightly shallower, placed it over the chisel on top of the stone and pulled the chisel toward me. Only used a 4000x, 8000x stone. I...

I just bought myself a 1/16" Veritas Detail Chisel made by Canadian Paul Beebe. It was $39CAD. http://www.leevalley.com/wood/page.aspx?c=1&p=46035&cat=1,41504 Works brilliantly, my only complaint is...

I love the finish, simple, 100% non-toxic, and it really lets the wood shine without being glossy. Finally someone who knows how to drink coffee, there's no place in coffee for sugar. I must say I...

I've made two coffee grinders with the grinder from Lee Valley, they're about $17 CAD. Seems to work fine, you can even adjust the grind size and made from cast iron so it can feel at home with your...

Just finished my coffee grinder. No more 5:30am electric grinder noise in the morning, neighbors will love me. Nothing more then a simple box with drawer. Just another project to practice dovetails,...

As long as the saw horse brackets are tightened down all the way the bench is sturdy enough to do anything except for aggressive scrub planning I'd say. The wagon vise is pretty much a homemade...

So I've been meaning on making a post about my bench for some time, but Michael Peet's post asking about the advantages of the split top Roubo made me post this.
First the reason I made a split top...
