Hello all,

I am wiring my new G0586 jointer today and I have never had to wire any of my tools in the past, I guess since this is the first with a 110/220 option. Anyway, I am going for the 220V...

Hello all,

Oh yes, working with Alan was a real treat and a good time was had by all. He is very enthusiastic about teaching and we were all happy to learn. To clear up one question that has...

Well, at least from his classroom anyway. This is a simple step stool, I created while attending a handtool class taught by Alan Turner a few months ago. This was my first experience creating a...

Just saw on CNN about the mud slides in Laguna Beach. Just hoping that you and your family are OK.

If at first you do not succeed, Skydiving may not be right for you.

That is a great looking jointer. I am working on a commission right now and I am hoping the profits from it and the money from the sale of my old jointer will be enough to cover the cost of one for...

Hello,

I was under the impression that ironwood did not grow in the US. It is the common name of Ipe. They use to make the early icebreakers from it.

Have to admit, when I read the title of the thread I thought we had a long distant Jonathan Swift relative in the creek :eek:. E-bay is buyer beware and I refuse to get caught up in the hoop-la. I...

Sorry Aaron, I saw the 5 and th 0 and the 7 and the tunnel vision kicked in. I would clean it up and make it a user.

Aaron,

Is that a Sargent 507? All the 507s I have seen are rabbeting block planes and have open sides like a Stanley #10. I could be wrong and this is a very early version of the 507 before they...

I had my 1023SL delivered in March of 04 and it took 4 people to get it to the ground (the hardest part) once it was on the ground I just used a furniture dolly to get it to the shop. The driver was...

Mike,

What did you use to remove the rust from the cap iron and cutter? I am in the process of bringing an old stanley 140 back from the grave and I am having a hard time.
Did you lap the sole...

I have the Lee-Valley marking tri-marking gauge and it is the easiest thing in the world to use (it has to be if I can use it accurately). I think the guage was 15.00 and worth its weight in gold.

I am trying to obey the rules of not listing auction site names or giving direct links. But the other day I was on a rather large auction site and I happened to win a rather nice item for a 30%...

Hello,

I sometimes get cabinet and project hardware from restoration hardware. I know they are not true ww hardware, but they have a nice selection and you can really get some deals if you get...

Hello all,

Well after a couple months I finally got the Tall Hall seat my wife wanted completed and set up. It is made of solid cherry and finished with 1 coat of Seal-A-Cell and 2 coats of...

Hello all and Happy Holidays,

My wife gave me some gifts yesterday since we are going to visit my parents tomorrow in Georgia for the holidays. I open box one and find a Veritas LA smooth plane. ...

John,

Nice job so far on the plane. Which issue of shop notes did that plan appear in? Also is that a kit or a plan?

Keep up the great work.

Mike

Hello Bob,

Shop Fox and Grizzly are preety much the same thing (much like Ford and Mercury). I was looking at purchasing the W1611EXT, but due top shop space issues I went with the 1023SL. It is...

I take a woodworking class at our local middle school. The instructor is a local cabinetmaker, a good guy, but a bit lacking in safety. They have a PM66 tablesaw and I really do not like the saw at...

Hello all,

I am starting a tall hall seat for SWMBO. I decided to try my hand at some hand tooling. I am cutting some box joints for the lower rails that form a "molding" on the base of the seat....

Nice upgrade. I was right there with you. I had the same craftsman saw for about the same amount of time, then I upgraded earlier this year to another green machine.

Enjoy the new saw and work...

Chris,

Is that table on the end of your TS? Or is that at the end of your workbench. I have seen people mount that OSS in their router table, but never at the end of a TS.

Just Curious.

Kelly,

FOr my 1023SL I made an extension cord (since I only have 1 220V outlet in the shop.) My planer works on 220V and I made an extension cord to fit into the outlet. I can not remember the...

Hey there Kelly,

The 1023 is a great saw, I got mine in April and I absolutely love it. My table top was perfect when I got everything together accordingto the old straight edge, but it did take...
