Makes perfect sense! Thanks Zach.
I know I've seen the answer to this question but, cant remember where... Can anyone tell me what the stamped roman numerals on the tang of a wooden molding plane (early 1800's American) might...
I imagine that is probably what it is Harry. It's about 3" long, four sided and tapered and ends in a rounded point. Unmarked. I tried it out in a length of pine and it did ream...coarse. I'll give I...
That's them!
Had a good visit to a local antique shop this afternoon. In addition to a couple other nice items, I got a set of bits. They look just like the bit on a handled gimlet but, they're made for a brace...
+1 on what Joshua said. I found his insight and comments on the tack society has taken toward a mentality that accepts disposable products to be spot on. He put in to words my feelings about our...
I have a couple of Barton moulding planes. Nicest wood of all my half set of hollow and rounds.
I got the email the day after my recent order shipped. Bad timing !
As far as the gauge... It is the same design as an antique E C Stearns marking gauge that I use every day. The stearns is nickeled...
Sorry my description was confusing. I am picturing it just like the pic you posted. The vise is 12 in wide so the 3,6,9 thing is one dog over the screw and one on each end.
Thanks to input from fellow creekers the top is done and ready for dog holes. The "inboard" side of the bench consists of a leg vise and deadman with a jorgensen as the end vise with dog holes in the...
Thanks for all the input !
I took the clamps off this morning and have to say I'm impressed with the outcome. I figured on having a lot more bowing or offset between the plank but, it's dead flat...
Time is not an issue and I wondered about how unruly those four beasts might be slithering around between the pipe clamps. I've done plenty of edge glueing just not anything this big.
Putting together a new workbench 'neander style' and it's time to add the top. It consists of four red oak boards edge glued ( 3x7x66 each) . Question is; when gluing them up should I glue all four...
I put a 35 degree micro bevel on with a veritas mk 2 jig. Just a quick couple of passes. The chunks that came out of the edge went well behind my starting bevel. That being said, I just came up from...
I picked up the set of nerex mortise chisels from lee valley and threw in the 1/8 inch for good measure. At $10 bucks for the little guy, it's definitely worth it.
I had some big mortises to chop...
I have the Footprint cabinet turnscrews and have been looking for phillips drivers in a similar style. "the best things" website has Marples Pozi Turnscrews that would fit the bill. My question is;...
I also have the same box with the same weld (braze). It still cuts straight and square and I use it very frequently. If you don't plan on doing a lot of crown molding I wouldn't even loosen up the...
I have a very small Millers Falls miter box exactly like the one in the picture on this link :
...
I appreciate all the ideas and actually had a coffee cup warmer in a closet. I set it up and let it heat a jar of water for an hour. Checked it with my infra thermometer...126 degrees So, it should...
John, Fantastic thread ! Exactly what I was looking for. Thanks very much.
Was wondering if anyone has an alternative to the rather expensive electric glue pots used to heat hide glue. I will only be using it occasionally and for small glue ups so, keeping a pot cooking...
I'll see if I can figure out the upload with this new iphone for the pix. It's not a 604 1/2, it's an old Stanley Rule and Level 4 1/2 Bedrock. Kinda cool .
Good thought Pam but, this is the low...
I've been adding to the hand plane stable and picked up a PERFECT Bedrock 4 1/2 (mini-gloat) and, along with it, a not even close to perfect Stanley#62. The 62 has no blade (which is easy), a chunk...
Not farrier rasps, at least not modern. Modern hoof rasps dont taper and have a coarse side (triangular teeth) and a fine side like a mill file. Note, though, i use a hoof rasp on wood quite a bit...
I bought my Stanley 70 1/2 on a whim at an estate sale because the price was right and have found that I use it ALOT. A very versatile tool. Great info about the LV cutters fitting the Stanley
