I have a couple of old stanley planes with the rear tote has side to side play. It appears to be the divot in the front that is too big.
Is there a easy way to fix this?
One thought that I...
So what does one flatten the Naniwa stones with?
Oilstones, my current sharpening seem very slow.

I am building a bench, and have been doing it with the tools I have available. A combination of hand and powered.
For drilling out the mortices on the legs I use a brace, and the holes weren't...
I have a Reliant 6" DD39C jointer that could use a new set of blades. Since this isn't made anymore I am not sure what replacement blades I can use for it.
Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks for putting these up for our watching and downloading pleasure.
Looks like a good project this weekend.
Thanks for sharing
Thanks for all the suggestions and help on this one.
Put the allen wrench in, gave it a turn and it worked. Didn't even take as much force as I would have guessed.
Thanks again
Denis
That looks awesome. Thanks for sharing
Just bumping this up. Its been soaking in WD-40 since last Friday, still can't get the lower pinion or spindle to move.
I've tried a couple of things, first was getting 2 nuts that actually fit...
I am no expert, but I just took a class this past weekend, and corrected the same type of problem that you are having. My dovetails came out much better then my early attempts at home.

When I took it apart, the upper pinion turns freely. The lower one seems completely frozen, the spindle doesn't move either..
Everything else seems in really good condition. I am not sure if it...
I recently bought a nice looking Miller Fall's 2A eggbeater. It looks great, came with 8 bits but has one little problem, it doesn't turn.
I've taken it apart, and the problem is the lower gear...

Looks excellent.
Any chance you could tell us, what you used to clean the saw so well? Anything you learned along the way that you wouldn't mind sharing.
Denis
That looks pretty cool. Can you tell me what issue that was from?
I just picked one up and cleaned it up a bit (sorry no pics at work)
Mine is missing the little adjuster to make the mouth adjust easily, that being the case I just loosen the front thumb...
I've been gathering a few hand planes and chisels, and have been sharpening them using a combination sandpaper and waterstones. The end results seem decent, and getting a little better with...
I've been trying to work this out too, as I would like to build a workbench in the near future. The best I could figure, using 2" rough wood, I would need 14 boards assuming 1.75 inches thick after...
Thanks for all the opinions.
I will probably go with wet/dry sandpaper approach. Which grit/grits do you recommend and does it differ for fine/coarse stones.
Thanks again
Denis
I have a couple waterstones and have never flattened them.
Typically I use a combination scary sharp on a piece of granite tile andwaterstones to sharpen planes and chisels.
I was wonder what...
Has anyone taking their basic woodworking course? I am a complete beginner and was wondering if this would be a good starting point. Feel free to PM me if you want to keep your opinions private.

I live pretty close, Bedford NH, and have tried to tune/restore one plane a number, not sure of the results as I have little to compare it. I also have a 5 that would be next on my list. So if the...
I am in the market for a sharpening stone, where did you find the 1000/6000. I am leaning towards the 1000/4000 norton
