I'm sure if you put it on your wish list and behave, someone might get it for you.
I noticed that and I can see where that would bother you for a pocket knife. I pretty much keep mine on my bench.
Sometime before Christmas I was going through the Lee Valley site looking for cheap gifts the kids could get me when I spotted this knife.

I vote for stabilize and leave. I've felt the same thing before with knots. Everything stands out on bare wood. It's amazing what a little finish will do to tone it down and give it character.
I was there in the first year it opened, it may have changed a bit, but I don't think so. First, there is no celebrity worship that seems to go on things like TV Network shows. Roy acts just like a...
These set of stretches work pretty well for me. You can do the last 2 just standing up in the stop every once and a while

Hi Tom,
BTW, I love that plant stand and have wanted to try it for a while. It looks like the others have given you some advise to fix the issue. I will let you know how I got better at...
I've used something like his to make a round tenon. I scored the tenon at the shoulder to make sure the split from the paring doesn't get transferred beyond the shoulder.
Jason,
I made the same bench from those plans this summer. Great to see the through tenons. I like the square pegs. I used one of the Jeff Jewitt mission finish techniques, but I like yours...
Been there done that. What he said.
I have a 14" tenon saw. The blade flexes at the rear end like an oil can(no kink). I put it in a vise and tapped along the spine and didn't see much change. At the back, I was able to tap it down...
Good point I've used the same camellia oil for 2 years and it is yet to go rancid.
I've heard camelia and jojoba oils recommended for lubrication and rust prevention rather than VOC's. These are non drying oils. Almond oil is also a non drying oil. I happened to be at a...
You guys just love to torture us;).
This would be like Rob Lee coming on the board and telling us how great the new Veritas Tenon Saw is, but not telling us when it will come available.
Let me just beg you to give us a chance to order this before Schwartz writes an article about it and everybody goes crazy. Please, Please, Please!!!!
Cool. I will be awaiting details.
+1 Those shavings burn really hot and fast
Hi Steve,
Great video. I made one myself and it doesn't work as well as yours. Can you remember what size you started with and what size you ended up with.
What size did you step down your...
I think I will hold out for the aircraft aluminum machined to .0001" version.
I couldn't find one of those on ebay.
No foul. As I was going through all the Google hits, it definitely occurred to me it was a bit egotistical. Although you can definitely find more online demonstrations of draw boring after Schwartz...
Well, I can't find any reference to it anymore. It may have been through one of those sites I hit from the web archive, although the ones I usually hit are Jeff Gorman's and shavings.net and neither...
BTW, I did not make that up.

A while ago I was researching drawboring because I wanted to use it with an Arts and Crafts style bench with M&T joints. Most of the Google'd info was demo's of the Schwartz resurrected method, but...
