    I nabbed a set of four for $8 at Aldi’s. They took a lot of work, flatten back, grind decent bevel, grind decent lands, but mine take a wicked edge and hold it nearly as long as my Hirsch chisels. ...

    Some years back, I was able to fondle one of Wayne Anderson's planes, a small miter plane, at a MWTCA meet. Yowsa! pure tool porn!

    That exact same frame saw. It looks impressive hanging on the tool wall but that’s it.

    Can waterstone be glued together?

    I have a Suehiro 6000 grit waterstone, not particularly expensive, white, kinda hard but it leaves a nice edge on both simple and A2 steels. It came glued to a plastic base that, it turns out, is...

    White cedar is hard to find, at least in my part of MN. I’m thinking it’s western red cedar.

    Stanley 9-1/2 block plane. I don’t like anything about it. There’s nothing it can do that a 60-1/2 or DX60 can’t do better. Besides, it’s just enough bigger that it’s not easy to hold, and my...

    Not at all practical, especially for woodworking purposes. It’s achievable, though, when conditions warrant, e.g., if you’re grinding a Hubble telescope lens, but not if you’re flattening a plane. ...

    The only one I’ve ever seen working to those tolerances is Dan Gelbart. Look up his name and “air bearing.” He beats it by another decimal point. Of course, he’s not a woodworker.:D

    The woodworking club I’ve joined has no appreciation for hand tools. There is a HF smoother in the cabinet. Gotta say, the Menards/Irwin/Record model is much better than the HF version of a...

    I went to check it out. If you know what you’re doing, the $20 price tag isn’t out of line. That being said,the casting looks as if it was sanded with a 40 grit belt, all the way around, very...

    No, but I’ll go look tomorrow. I mean, how bad can it be for $20? :eek:

    Sad to say, Youngblood is going out of business, too, just within the last few weeks. That is a big loss for anyone serious about wood in the Twin Cities. Acme tools is a good source for tools, but...

    There’s a guy on Instagram who is making an exact replica of the Studley chest and the tools in it. If he can’t buy exactly the same tool as in the original, he makes it. He’s unbelievably talented.

    I made a carvers mallet of laminated maple maple because I couldn’t find any 4” thick stock. That was 35 years ago. Still no signs of splitting anywhere.

    This whole thread reminds me of an old higher education joke:

    While that is oh, so true, Jim, an endorsement from a noted woodworker is a valid place to start. With experience, it’s possible to make your own judgment about what suits you best. But where are...
