I don't have a lot of knowledge of older tools. I found this Stanley-Bailey No. 4 plane at a garage sale and bought it for $1. It was in the original box but the box totally fell apart when I...
Would sure appreciate some recommendations.
I've used Simple Green and sometimes Goo-Gone. They seem to work well if I get some build-up of pitch from soft woods.
Other options for cleaners...
Thanks for the recommendations everyone. I finally got the bit and collet out late last evening. I soaked the connection first in WD-40. Then tried mineral spirits. Finally tried Goo-Gone. I...
The nut is not the problem, that is easily loosened. The problem is the bit and collet are stuck in the shank/shaft. I don't know if it is some pitch or a little corrosion holding it. My dad...
I have a nice Bosch router from my father's shop. He didn't use it for about 5 years before he passed away. It was left with a pattern-making bit in it and I can't get the bit and collet out of the...
Thanks for telling me what it is. Perhaps the members here can give me more insight.
I wiped off much of the storage grease and found it is manufactured by Stanley and has the Sweetheart Logo....
This brace came home with me today. It is in excellent condition. What was it used for? Thx.

I'll admit it, I have a little apprehension or perhaps a little fear of a few machines in my shop. I have some hesitation when using my TS, and compound miter saw; and lesser concern for the router...
My nephews went together and bought a very lightly used Grizzly G0575 (left-tilt) for only $150. I knew the guy who had the saw and it didn't have more than a few hours of run-time before he passed...
I have 2 young relatives just getting started into woodworking. I (we) would sure like to hear of some recommendations for general purpose or combination blades for a couple recent college grads on...
All pieces are mahogany and no pieces are pressed. The top is about 24 inches wide and 52 inches long. The top is jointed together with 2 pieces at 12 inches each.
This table was in my late...
Perhaps my question "is a bit overly broad" because I don't know what to ask, therefore the question. Just looking for some direction to start looking or advice on where to go look.
I'm trying to...
Can any of the Creek members here offer me some advice on any websites or forums where I can get assistance on identifying some antique furniture?
Thanks in advance.

Congrats, Kevin.
You need to satisfy these tool junkies and post a pic!
You really need to be more responsible! Some people are just a tease....
If not, I might just drive over to your shop...
They used to come with both but not anymore. I bought mine long enough ago that I got the 1/2" and 1/4" collet with mine. It is a great router.

I would love to hear some comments related to people having duplicate stationary tools as well as some good reasons for such. My only large duplicates that sit out where they are always seen by my...

If you throw those around your shop, do they come back to you?
I've never seen any like those before.
Thanks for the highly variable replies.
Kev
I use several different blocks and sticks depending on what I'm doing. What are your preferences? What makes it good for you? I'd like to see or hear of some options. Perhaps I can improve on mine.

This will probably shock several people but a good low-cost dado set is Grizzly's model H7777. I bought it primarily for building outdoor furniture since I didn't want to use my Freud set for that...

Several members here have or have had the Craftsman 22124 which is nearly identical to the Steel City. The primary difference is the C-man comes with a 50 inch Beis fence. I've been very happy with...
Since when did John Deere start manufacturing dust collectors for Harbor Freight?
I can't help but wonder if it will turn out to be a gem like their smaller unit.

I was looking thru this months coupon flyer from Harbor Freight and saw a coupon for a "Toe-Kick Saw". What in the world is such a saw for? I've never seen one before. Looks like some crazy device I...
Alan, it looks like your bit storage pulls out as trays. If I may ask, can you post some closer views of what you have there? It looks like your set-up there would work quite well as a hanging...
