That sounds awesome, definitely jealous!

I really like the Dutch toolbox style, some day I’ll get around to building one. That’s a good looking bench too. I’m really jealous of your oak stash, if you ever want to get rid of any scraps, let...

Tate, I did. It’s been a fun learning experience.

Ken, thank you. I built it for pretty much the same reasons as you, though I don’t plan on traveling with it any time soon.

Thank you! The wedge is part of the box, it’s a lock to keep the lid closed.

It’s been a long while since I’ve been around or had any shop time, but I made some time and finally put together a tool box. I had forgotten how much I enjoy being in the shop working. Now that I...

It's used exactly like a second saw bench, but with a lot less work to make and less room to store :)

My saw bench and bent

Just finished a bench and bent based on Vic Tesolin's Minimalist Woodworker. Fun and quick to build, I still need to actually use them. In any event, I'm sure they're better than the bucket and board...

Is an older blog post, he walks thought the making of an oils stone box. If you google Paul sellers oil stone, it should be in the top links.

Thanks Luke, I borrowed that one from Mr. Sellers. My stone is an older Norton India combo stone Fine/Coarse, it's 8x2 and was surprisingly flat. By no means perfect, but close enough. So far I'm...

Thanks guys, I'm glad you like it. I did glue some leather to the top and it works like a charm. It's been oiled and waxed and used very frequently. I fit the stone with a loose friction fit, it's a...

Thank you for the offer Jim, very kind of you. I think I'll pass though :)

I had forgotten about them, thanks for the reminder :)



Thank you Jim, that would be awesome.



Thank you for the offer, I'll send a PM if I can't find one.

Its a Sargent made for Craftsman, and I found out exactly how different the blades between all three are.

Thanks for the link, I'll give them a call and see if it's the blade I need.

I seem to have nothing but problems with this type of plane, and I haven't even been able to use it.

I bought a craftsman 78 awhile ago, it had the wrong blade in it. I bought 3 other blades...

I decided to put a coat of Danish oil followed by a coat wax, got it all buffed out, glued the leather on top and sharpened a few chisels. So far I really like having everything right there, easy and...

The recesses were chopped in with a chisel and then cleared out with a hand router till I hit depth. The curves were done very carefully with a chisel.

I think I'll be putting at least some Danish...

Thanks glenn, unless I'm missing something though, that's just their sales flyer

Thank you, your videos are actually the reason I picked up the stone.

I've been hearing about these for over a year now and think I'd like to try some.

I haven't been able to find them online would anyone have a good link?

Barring that, if there is anyone near...

Thanks Jim, bummer about the stone. Still usable for knives and carving tools though :)

Thanks John, good point. I'll have to think on it some more.

Just finished fitting this up last night. Just a piece of scrap 2x4 and a cheap combo stone. I still need to figure out if I want to put a finish on it or not, I'm thinking an oil and wax finish. I...

I agree.

As I've learned more about woodworking and the history of the times, I've started to try to become more self sufficient and relearn what they knew and accepted as common sense. I think...

I've been self employed for 16 years now and charge $150 an hour for my services, after licensing fees, supplies, continuing education, rent, taxes, advertising, etc. I may hit $20 an hour if I'm...

That's a nice looking saw, thanks for posting the picture. I'm definitely going to keep my eyes open for one.
