What is the bevel angle on the blades? I had a problem once getting the iron to advance far enough to take a cut because I ground the bevel too steep and it was hitting the sole in front of the...

I'm going to buy the parts and build one of the saws like the one Dimitrije posted. I've been on the fence with it awhile and have decided to just do it. I mill a lot of lumber with a chainsaw mill...

I've thought about it Jim, but haven't actually tried it. I hadn't thought about a slip stone but was thinking more along the lines of this: http://m.spyderco.com/catalog/details.php?product=92

Appreciate the replies.

I read through all the links where this has been discussed previously and got some good ideas. It's good to see that some of what I was thinking wasn't that far fetched. ...

True, but I think after awhile people are more like "Eh, another bowl."

Couldn't you start on a faceplate and turn the outside and bottom and then switch to chuck?

Hi all.

I just started turning a few months ago when I bought an old Delta 11" double duty lathe to make some tool handles. I got pretty caught up and didn't do much of anything else with my...

Thanks Wally.

Hi all, I've not posted in this section before. I've just purchased my first lathe a couple days ago. An old delta double duty 11" that has no other identification on it that I can find.
I want to...

Red maple. At least that is what I have always called it. Maple tree with dark red leaves.

You might be right Charlie. I'll just have to wait and see how it turns out in a couple of years.

Thanks all. The posts I was thinking of were from turners. Alcohol was often prescribed. Those guys seem much more worried about checking from drying. I guess because they are dealing with...

I just came home from milling a maple tree that had fallen down in someone's yard. It has some beautiful spalting and colouring. I remember (vaguely) someone talking about treating the wood with...

I have a 1/8" and 1/4" LV detail chisels. I use them for paring cuts on dovetails (which they are fine for) and very little else. If I had a good 1/8" bench chisel then I wouldn't miss either of...

5 PMV11 chisels. Lucky we have two stores close by but they still had to pull the display models to fill her order. I guess my two cherries set needs to go up for sale.

I really like that table Derrick. Interesting design plus I also like to add drawers to my tables.

Thanks David.

I'm heading back to OH for Thanksgiving this week and was hoping someone would have a recommendation or two about where to go for old tools.
My family lives in the Steubenville/Weirton area. I also...

The pictures aren't that great....

Thanks George. Once I knew what to search for I found that Crown tools still makes one.

I would have been happy if the only thing I found were the dividers. I'd like to take some better pictures...

I finally have a tool find worthy of a good-nature d gloat.

A nicer set of dividers than what I normally see and pass up.
Cool old Universal West Haven MFG Co Hack saw.
What I think is a keyhole...

I'd like to find one of the two speed models one day.

Gary, I wasn't clear enough in my post. The handle my drill is missin is the top one. The one with drill bit storage. Since you have one to...

Great links. Thanks.

I just bought a North Bros 1540 hand drill. It's in great shape except it is missing the main handle. At least it was cheap.

Im wondering if anyone here has one of these drills and could provide...

I recently picked up about thirty files at an antique store I frequent. A bunch of made in USA Nicholson standard triangle saw files, some cant saw files along with a couple files for Japanese saws....

I was waiting for the cinder block answer.
I first started reading this forum in 2006 and that was the answer i always heard to this question. I was away until earlier this year and have been...
