A friend of mine at work recently caught this porthole off of Gwynn's Island, Matthews County, Virginia. He was between Cherry Point and Hole-in-the-Wall. Composition is brass/bronze and glass. ...
Anthony,
I have been running two units in parallel for several years. They connect to a plywood plenum and from there into 6" PVC. This has worked well for me. YMMV.
Good luck!!

It works. Test plane was a type 11 #4. I set the frog flush with the back of the mouth to support the iron completely. Cap iron honed and set VERY close on a Hock blade sharpened at 30°. My...
Wilbur,
Fascinating and informative video. I have been following the discussion on another forum and checked over here to view comments. I especially wanted David's take on it as he was posting...
I have a 3 x 8 piece of stock with some suede leather glued to one side that I keep on my bench. I load the suede with paraffin and rub my planes against the surface as needed. This transfers just...
I agree with Richard. A sled with shims covers a multitude of sins....

Ed,
+1 on non-variable model. Use it for turning, buffing, grinding, drilling, walking the dog, etc. Great little lathe!

Bill,
I like it! Did you need to block any of the usual openings in the cabinet?

Rich,
You have discovered two wonderful go-to people: Stu, and Joel at TFWW.
I always have a stropping block on the bench charged with green compound. I also have a 3 x 8 block of MDF...
Bill,
You done good! Have fun with the plane and your bench project!!

Brad,
I am running two identical DC's in parallel. They connect to the duct work via a plywood plenum, not a wye. My first setup with these two units utilized an elongated sort of wye system and...

I have a long and rich purchasing history with Amazon. I have never had a problem with any transaction, ever. I don't know how they do it, but in my experience their overall customer service is...

Anyone making their own 6" pvc fittings? I am especially interested in hearing from any of you using the harderwoods method described in this thread starting at post #16:...

I am re-turning to turning after many years of hiatus, so last evening I experimented with a homemade polish for some walnut tool handles. After dissolving a small spoonful of Mixwax paste wax in 1...

I'm up in Richmond, NW of where George is in Williamsburg, and the power lines here took a beating. The storm was a bit heavier down George's way. No fun what-so-ever. I hope he will get his power...
Mike,
You might try making your own threaded inserts out of threaded brass rod. Cut off a short piece of 3/8-16 brass rod, drill and tap it for 10-24, and insert it into a tapped 3/8 hole in your...
I have recently had a similar experience as Jim's: white oak w/ bad tearout. The #80 saved the day for me, after I sharpened at ~40 to 16000 and applied a very small burr. All of a sudden, the #80...
OK. Picture.....
OK Derek,
After reading your post, I sauntered downstairs, wacked the shortened blue plastic handles off a couple Marples chisels, and replaced them with wooden handles that I had saved from...
