Thanks all. The instructions did not really represent the angle in an unambiguous way, so I was a bit puzzled for awhile.

Thanks all. The instructions did not really represent the angle in an unambiguous way, so I was a bit puzzled for awhile.
Recently, I have been building a project by following some published plans. One step called for cutting a 38 degree bevel into two pieces of wood, along the edges. (Each piece is initially 3/4” x...
Thanks Don, but PSI as well as the other sources I’ve checked seem to only sell Mach 3 razor kits.
Anyone aware of a kit for a turned razor handle that will take Sensor Excel cartridges?
For the record, I am having this issue as well. I checked my email server; the messages are not there at all and not going into the spam folder either.
I've tried it, and it does in fact work well. However, it does make a lot of nasty scratches on the blade of the knife.
For the past year, I've been using the Chestnut Tools Universal Sharpener...
Thanks Jim!
I’m in the process of building a streamer trunk, following a set of plans I obtained from Rockler. It’s made primarily from solid red oak and oak plywood. Looking for suggestions of what finish to...
I thought I'd post an update on this. I ended up ordering the vise. It seems to do just what I expected of it, so it's all good. A bit pricey IMO, but it is what it is.

Ok, thanks for the advise so far.
Let me elaborate on my situation. My bench is not a proper woodworking bench, but more of a homeowner's general-purpose workbench. I built it 32 years ago...
Anybody have any experience with this? I'm contemplating a purchase. Might be just what I need to get a woodworking vise on the right side of my workbench.
Thanks guys. For the record, what finish should I have used on this?
A few months ago, I built a miniature chest of drawers for the purpose of storing tea bags and sweetener packets in my kitchen. I chose Watco Danish Oil as a finish for the drawer bodies, which were...
Thanks all. I'll have to try the batten idea. (And also work on my planing technique ;))
One of my greatest difficulties in working with hand tools has been in securing the workpiece. For example, I recently needed to reduce the thickness of a small piece of 1/2" maple stock to 3/8". ...
That's pretty awesome. My first woodworking project looked more like this.

I got a Handy Andy tool set for my 10th birthday in 1965. I still have the hammer from the set. With these tools, and a few others, I made the racing sloop from L. Ben Hunt's book "Crafts and...
A bit caustic no? I quoted the part of your post that I was commenting on. You're right, I should've paid more attention to the rest of it.
By the same reasoning, a plane is just a chisel holder. Yet we seem to think that a plane sole needs to be flattened. ;)
I suppose you're right about the need for flatness. But just the same, why am I having so much trouble removing metal?
I've been trying to flatten the sole of a Stanley No. 80 cabinet scraper, using silicon carbide wet/dry paper on a granite tile. I've used this procedure several times before on planes and chisels,...
I bought a set a few weeks ago. After tuning them up, they seemed to work very well. Since I don't yet have a home for them, they are just laying on my bench. Because of that, I have been using...
I've been using them for a year or two. Very handy at times. I've seen them in hardware stores for as little as $5 a set.
Picked up a set and have been using them for a couple of days. I was surprised at how well they work and how well they seem to hold an edge. I tuned them up per Paul Sellers video, or as close as I...
They are back in stock in the US Aldi stores right now, part of their Father's Day sale I believe. I picked up a set this morning for $6.99 because I couldn't resist. After tuning them up, them...
