The till 😁

Looking good Jim! I think some kind of curved back would compliment the sides.

"Lee Valley here just wondering how your combination plane is going?" "It seems you are the only person to have bought one in south west Ontario". "We have had reports of wracking, how is yours?"...

I'm confused! Where is Daryl's post??

Mine was too!

This is a more traditional carpenter's toolbox, a lot like Andy's above. The lid is long enough to hold a few handsaws. The tools were some of the contents of the box when I bought it. If you're...

I too have used my Stanley 45 for making tongue and groove joints and found the process enjoyable and the results were good. I can't comment on the other plane's cause although I own them, I have...

Hi All, just thought I'd share a story my most recent find. I got a call from someone answering an ad of mine for vintage tools.The woman lived 60 miles away and was getting ready to sell a house...

I'm a member even though due to time and distance, I am unable to attend any of the meetings and events. As Peter said you get the quarterly "The Gristmill" that is greatly anticipated and read...

Hi Ken,

Are these available for free or is there a fee required?

Thanks
Tom.

Nice job! I think Santa might have a kit for me packed to go on his sleigh right now!

Hi Stewie, Thanks for taking the time to post this. I have a few estate sale stones that I might try this with.

Tom.

"Derek,


As much as I admire your typical humility, your suggestion that the 3 examples of your work you included above "have been seen too often as part of online builds as to be interesting no...

Hi Andrew, I love the Santa! Is there going to be something in his hand?

This cherry, Shaker-inspired desk, started out as 2 1/4" x 10" x 8' rough cut stock. From the ripping and dimensioning to the joinery and raised panels, all done with hand tools.

I have had a set of the newer Stanley 750's for about two years now. When I first bought them all the handles fell off. Before I put them to my stones, I orientated the handles so the label was in...

Hi Stewie,

I think you stone boxes look fantastic! Thanks for sharing. I have a question, the pictures of the first stone look like you have the stone pitched from one end to the other, yet the...

For the price, I think you would be hard pressed to beat this set. IMHO

Hi Phil,

This is a timely post for me, as I'm finally giving handsaw sharpening a real effort. Every time I sharpen one of my saws, I get better! I also notice more little things I do wrong with...

I have the Ashely Iles and think they're ok, but I had a few issues. First, I found I had to get past the first 1/16th or so before the edge would stop rolling over. I think this is a common problem...

Lol Sometime I think "Overthinking things" is what we do best on these woodworking forms!

Can you feel a seem on the "broken" side? What does the other side look like? Can you see any change in the japanning on the inside?

I've used mine for T+G, Beading, Cutting grooves for drawer bottoms as well as making a kerfing slot for resawing lumber by hand. I love using my 45 so much i'm looking to add a No 55 to the fleet...

Jim,
Some of the bevels will need to be re-ground as they'r in bad shape. Is that done with slip stones as well?
