Been using this further, including truing the edge of a ~10' 2X6. I set the fence to act a a kind of hold down to help keep the piece in place while it is cantilevered beyond the table.

Haven't...

I agree. I have two systainers, that the Domino and tenons came in. The tenon one is sort of OK, but takes up a lot of room, needs a big place to sit to be opened, and I worry that it will break. ...

All different makers. The widest 'standard' size.

The angle of the hone is not critical, IMO. I put them in the drill press and apply the chisel by hand- easy to see what's happening.

I use WD40 after every use, & don't bother wiping it off- just run a few seconds and put the plastic guard back on. The pump sprayer refilled from a large can avoids tossing a bunch of aerosol...

I'm guessing that you mean that Japanese planes are more complex than western ones, and so not worth using. I'm curious if the comment is based on first hand knowledge or not.

I've had 8 1/4" and 10" Makita portable saws, and the 10" is way more useful in general utility, and blade selection/availability.

Rip capacity on a bevel is a factor, and I've ripped lots of 6X...

Looking good. There appears to be a bunch of math, followed by direct measurement.

I have planes with very close mouths, but these are some that I use the most, for heavy, and medium utility cuts. IME, final, high level smoothing is only 10% of hand plane use.
They each took up...

I came across this Ebay seller who is knowledgeable, skilled, and has good prices on planes that he has sharpened and tuned.

Buying here would save hours of work vs other used or new and are...

Looks like the Dominos pulled out of their mortises. Probably would have held a lot more if those were glued.

How thick was your popular board?

No, not really. A bunch of 1/2" brad nails from the front might work sort of.

Glue. (characters)

This is more of this weeks accomplishments, but it will be last week soon...

I've worked on this property since the '80s, and built the garage/guest house in 1990. A giant bay tree just fell,...

One at least half a dozen mishaps over the years- mostly strippers. Still, that's only one every 7 years or so, on average.

I wouldn't be surprised that if you asked on Craigslist, someone would give you one. Lots of those on shelves collecting dust.

I have some of those!

I have twice traced dead circuits to the refer receptacle- vibration and/or cycling had work hardened the wire at the terminal causing it to break.

Reading a bunch of Youtube comments, one benefit that stands out is connecting stranded and solid wires together.

In this test, high current was run through wire with various connectors, and they...

From the paper cited in another current thread on powderpost:

"Prevention:
...Wood that is suspect should not be used, especially if fresh emergence holes or powder is present. Many of the most...

Other Wagu-type connectors are pretty much the same as back stab receptacles They often come on recessed light fixtures these days.

They are handy in crowded switch boxes, but I have limited...

I've long identified with "Pigpen".

Pulling out my wallet at sales counters regularly leaves sawdust which must be brushed away and apologized for.

"...lyctid beetles typically start emerging from wood within a year of processing. Thus, infestations usually are encountered in new homes or newly manufactured articles. In almost all cases,...

According to the paper I linked, 3-5 days at 0˚ will do it. doesn't mention the oxygen aspect.

Since the wood is finished, the eggs were likely already in the wood.

Looks like powderpost beetles. Small enough that heat treatment could work.
