    I have a Millers Falls 56, extremely similar to the Stanley 60 1/2. It has the 12 degree pitch, adjustable mouth, and screw adjuster. The irons are decent steel, and the weight feels negligible in my...

    The screwdrivers I tested were too soft. The scraper cut the screwdriver rather than accept a burnishing from it. Modern screwdrivers just don't have it going on in the hardness department.

    I've never had any quality plane chatter. The only planes that ever did are the Sears planes with the U-shaped bent lateral adjusters. The steel on those is garbage, and the bottom of the frog can be...

    I have one of those in 12". It's a Zenith, but I don't know for sure who made it. I have a Bonney's patent hollow auger that only fits in it, because it's got that Fray chuck with its giant jaws and...

    The heartwood is harder than the sapwood. The sapwood you can dent by looking at it with a piercing expression on your face! To clarify for another reply, no, the sapwood isn't cut, true. It is...

    Yew is very, very soft even when dry. It can't take an impact for nothin' and will dent if you look at it too hard. It is very elastic though and not easily broken. Since it's a conifer its heartwood...

    I've always felt that the jointer fence is more for planing an angle or bevel on an edge than for jointing a square edge. It is a whole lot harder to accurately plane a 22.5 degree bevel than a...

    I've also got a couple like that. I think my no 7 panel saw served two carpenters for most of their lives before it met me. I have other saws to do the work, that one may enjoy its retirement.
