The only times that I have had that kind of problem with epoxy is either very old epoxy, too much liquid tint, or wrong mixing ratio. I usually use powdered colors to tint epoxy.

A nice read, thanks for posting.
How thick are the strips? Would it be possible to leave them off entirely and let the end grain show? If they are thick enough, you could nail them on with some small brads, this would allow for some...
Maybe the boxes don't even need a bottom at all. The tissue box could have a slight friction fit into the wood box.
That's why I don't already have one :) I much prefer to buy at garage sale prices, and not collector prices.
Thank you Andrew. Now that I know the Archive has this site, I will try to copy it from there myself. I don't know if my email service (Yahoo) has a limit that would block the file size.
Thank you James, that is very helpful. I had tried looking on the Archive, but must have not tried hard enough!
I suspect that there is a Stanley No. 1 in the bottom of a wooden dairy crate, under a ton of rusty wrenches and braces, somewhere in this country. I have not found it yet :)
Ha! It was just a fun hobby :). Also got the all Bailey sizes, 2-8, we all know the No. 1 is way, way overpriced, so never got that one. I do keep that collection tuned up, sharp, ready to use.
Thank you for your response Jim. Yes, things do disappear from the internet from time to time! The RexMill page that you linked was also one of my favorites, good descriptions and lots of clear...
Does anyone know if the Stanley plane typing megachart is now offline permanently? I was using it last week to find the dates on some planes, but now it seems to be 404.

Glenn, You might find it faster and easier to use a scraper, either handled or a card type, to scrape glue off of panels.
Andrew, if the stud is not rusted into place, it is easy to remove. Hold the frog in a vise. Use a small piece of aluminum flashing, folded over a couple of times to wrap the stud. Then grip it...
A soaking in Evaporust for a day or two should loosen it right up. This has been the most consistent method that works for me.
Bruce, sorry for the confusion; I do sharpen the edge with one bevel. I use a small file, draw-filing. As soon as the edge starts to seem a little dull, I take about 4 or 6 passes with the file and...
Bruce, I'm not quite sure what you mean by "chisel edge" or profile (beveled on both faces?). I sharpen mine with one bevel at about 45 or 30 degrees from the face, with or without a burr. I don't...
+1 on what Richard said. What is your set-up for lapping? How often are you refreshing your sandpaper? In an hour of lapping, I would have changed paper several times. It is really only sharp for a...
Matthew, are you looking for the two part screw with the brass barrel nut? These screws are not really difficult to find at all, you can usually find some for sale on eBay.
That's a fine looking bench, I'm sure it will be totally functional too. Great job!
edit to add: plastic wrap or plastic laminate work well too.
A heavy coat of paste wax always does a good job, that or wax paper. Just wipe the wax on the caul right before the glue up. Any residue remaining on the workpiece will be cleaned up with the final...
Leigh, I looked at the pictures before reading the description. I thought that the adjustable mouth looked like poplar...then read that it was brass! Nice job...a very cool looking plane.
Leigh, If you can use this tool I can pass it on to you for the cost of postage...

Thanks for the feedback...I have never heard of a tire scraper before. I will probably grind this tool to shape next time I need a custom shaped wood scraper...I will not be needing a hide or tire...
George, I was thinking the same thing.
