Hope you have some strong neighbors, that top looks very heavy.
Good idea about the drum sander as flattening that top with planes is slow work.

The LN 4.5 works very well. I am sure there are a few even better, but not by much.
That must be an amazing Krenov plane.
I agree with you. But, tired hurried students and spinning blades is a bad combination. $1200 would be cheap in comparison to a hospital visit.
You will be very please.
They are very nicely made and a joy to use.
You could try to make your own. I have repaired a few totes that had broken tops
and it is a fairly easy process using rasps and files. But a lathe would probably help for the knobs.
If you want...
Close enough. :)

This should work better, there is a typo!
Great site Derek. Looks great.

Take a look, the author seems to appreciate handmade planes!
I have had success with Old Brown Glue.
Wish I was a shareholder . .
Here is some info from their site. http://www.wpatrickedwards.com/gluepage.htm

Mostly Old Stanleys, and almost complete Type 5 Bedrocks with
a few Lie Nielsens. Love the LN 102!
Greg/ I think "need" is probably correct . . :-) , at least for some of us,
as long is its woodworking we are talking about.
So after #11 pages we find we need beer, Old Stanleys and Lie Nielsen planes . . .
Very impressive!
They are copies, but a lot better in performance. The thicker blades and better quality control add for a much better copy.:D
Look at $100/inch of length. A 9" long smoother may start a $900 and climb from there. Look at Karl Holtey, Darryl Hutchinson and Wayne Anderson for some amazing works of art that also cut wood very...
There are a bunch of plane makers out there that make exquisite planes that make LN planes look like an old Stanley.

What a great looking shop. Just the sort of place to make great things or
spend the afternoon tuning up some chisels with a hot cup of coffee.
Hope to get my garage/shop like that some day.
Carl/ While we are waiting for Dave to return and give us an update,
maybe you could provide a few pictures of things you liked from previous
years (if you remembered to bring your camera).

Nice looking shop.
Wish I had you ceiling height.
Tall ceilings and good lighting make a great shop.
Good score on the type 10 and 11 planes. I think you will like them a lot
once you have them tuned up. The plane bottoms only need to be flatten
so there is a flat spot across the entire front of...
I think you would like a larger stone than a 2" width especially if you can
return it. I use the DMT Diamond plates for initial blade prepand than
switch to the Norton 1000, 4000, and 8000.

Washing soda--sodium carbonate--is in the same family as baking soda. It
has just been processed differently. It is much more caustic/alkaline, with
a pH of 11, but baking soda should work.

Mike/ Your right about making these tools, except if you are trying to match that elegant radius cutter.
Do you sharpen the cutter blades like a hand saw?
Doug/ Take a look under inlay tools-as well as on what's new!
