As long as we are wishing I would go for a #45 or #55 Stanley plane and a #7 or #8 Stanley.

That looks good as it is but the winders are not in code according to the drawing.

I wish I had read this thread before I replied to an ad for a hand plane on CL, I asked the question "do you still have the plane", now I see why I didn't hear back from the guy, I missed out on a #8...

If I had it all to do over, I would really liked to have learned to make tangent hand rail parts the right way, instead of the way I did. I also would have really liked to have learned to master the...

From my personal experience, don't buy a complete set of tools as you will find, more than likely, you won't use all of them. I use about 5 or 6 tools and that is pretty well it but then it will...

Take a battery powered drill out with you, then you can put the round file in the drill and sharpen that chain quick.

This is really an interesting thread, I appreciate the great information from both of you. I have toyed with the idea of making some carving knives from files but just never have gotten around to...

That is a lot of utensils, I got hooked on making them also but haven't made as many as you have, lots of fun.

I hope I am wrong but I am afraid you will be disappointed with that set of tools. They average a little over $4 each when most of the better tools will average $20 - $30 each. Check out...

Why not mortise the mistake out and inlay a new piece of wood and give it another try?

I use IrfanView also and find it very easy to use.

I have several different ones but the one I like best is a cheap one called 3D Home Architect. If I can learn to use it well, it has to be simple.

A lot of folks visit forums to learn how to do things and I am sure SMC is one of them. While you will get many different answers to one question, they mostly are great answers, as different folks...

A few years back I had to replace a door that was incased in plaster. I cut the plaster up against the wood and eased it out. You could cut the plaster with a Dremel and it would free the bond...

One thing to consider with a table that long is getting it into the room, been there, done that.

I had the chance several years ago to work with some antique chestnut, it wasn't burl though. It was a very easy wood to machine and was light in weight. It looked like a cross between ash and oak...

Rick, my Unisaw is about 20 years old and I have the same problem, I will be interested to see what the problem is.

One thing I would for sure do is get a tablesaw with a left tilt. I have a unisaw with right tilt and have been very happy with it except for the right tilt.

There is some great advice here, I wish I had been able to talk to some of you guys when I started my business years ago. For 20 years or so I went from one thing to the other trying to find my niche...

If your radius is a true radius, you can use your router like a compass to cut the arch. It is quick and easy after you set up your router jig.

Back when I was in the cabinet and wood working business, I built and hung lots of cabinets in hospitals in the Memphis area. A lot of the walls were concrete and a lot were block walls. I tried just...

Jack, thanks for the link. I have been by there several times on my way to west Tennessee, but never stopped in. They look like they have some good stuff there. We will have to stop by there and...

I have had two Bosch jigsaws and I have loved them. I do get some viberation from them but it is by far the best one I have used. I have had a couple of the down shear blades that really did some...

I have used the Ralph Lauren tea stain on poplar and liked the results. The tea stain is an aging process and has a tan or light brown look to it when dried. The stain looks like latex paint and does...

Here is a link that I found for a black locust supplier. I hope this helps.
