I just became aware of an article about David's guides that is both interesting and informative. Those interested in the guides might find it helpful.

Gary,
Thank you very much for the reference to the video.
You are absolutely correct. This is one of the finest woodworking videos I've ever seen in terms of both content and videography.
...
I have searched this forum for posts about David Barron, (http://www.davidbarronfurniture.co.uk) and have found very few. I'm passing this along simply because I enjoy his videos on YouTube very...
Thanks for the heads-up, even after almost five years. Was searching for something by David Barron (from the UK) and came across your post. I've ordered the book, and look forward to reading same....
I concur with the others: congratulations, great job.
Update: Thanks for all the posts.
Per the recommendation of several, I contacted Lie-Nielsen this morning by phone. As always, very pleasant conversation. (L-N should give lessons in attracting...
[Note: If this post breaks the forum rules, I apologize in advance, and ask that it be removed; this just seemed the closest applicable to my restoration need.]
Here are photos of two planes...
Howard, absolutely beautiful work. Thank you for sharing.
Dropped my Domino from five feet onto concrete. Bad noise and alignment problems. Sent to Festool Repair at the end of last week. Festool emailed me to confirm it was received on Monday....
Great line.
High quality, professionally produced woodworking videos are, sadly, all too rare. I happened across such a video from a craftsman (Neanderthal) in Spain whose work goes from wood selection to a...

Jeff, thank you for your prompt reply. In re: the base, I've included a photo of the legs; they are heavy and appear solid. Thanks, also, for the reference to a European shoulder vise. I...

I recently purchased well-used, cosmetically-challenged, bespoke workbench, pictured above. Excluding vise extensions, 28" x 60"; top is 3" thick in the interior, with 2" x 5" apron....
I second what others, such as Dick Mahany, have said about the video tutorials by Joe Zeh (a/k/a Chiefwoodworker). I struggled mightily with SketchUp, and had almost given up hope of doing any...
Tom,
I went to the Spiral Manufacturing link and could find no prices listed. Is there such a list, and where might I find it?
Thanks,
John
I am trying to plan for and buy a dust collector and ducting. I will try to keep this brief:
a) plan to buy Grizzly G0548 2 HP Canister Dust Collector (or something similar);
b) shop is...
George,
Thanks for all the information. I hope to be able to build a chair such as your some day. Your first four posts had to do with preparing the stock used for glue-up to make the four...
Howard,
Congrats!! Last March 30th was my 27th smoke free anniversary. I was smoking two packs a day before I finally quit for good. Well worth the effort.
You can do it.

I received a reply from Mike Hartman to my email referenced above. He was courteous and thanked me for the heads-up. He indicated he is going to sign on to SMC and will post a response. I...
Steve,
I emailed the company this morning. I have pasted the contents of that email below. Will be interested to see what response, if any, I receive. Thanks for the heads-up about your...
Scott,
I am sure you got a good deal on the table saw, but I don't know enough to know how good a deal. What's your estimate of the saw's value in the condition in which you purchased it? Any...
Jim,
I sent you a PM about your definition of "larger tools"; not sure if I have what you mean.
Thanks,
John
I am looking at an older Oneida DC that is on ebay. Seller doesn't know model number, but sez 8 yrs old and 1.5 hp. Link below. Anyone know what model; original price; or anything else about this...
I am new to woodworking and have never really thought about becoming sufficiently adept at hand work to allow me to think about actually hand crafting a piece. [I have considered neanderthals well...
