    Keep in mind, though, I haven't gone down that rabbit hole of Japanese tools yet. I've had my eye on some...

    While I try not to slander manufacturer's, I really don't correct any issues with their product, but instead ask for a replacement.

    Why are you still using XP? There's no more security updates coming out for that and browser support for any XP browser has ended.

    Oooo, look. . .Stewie and Derek with their Jarrah planes. :D

    That is one huge, good lookin' monstrosity. Amazing that stuff is hard enough you need to sharpen your floats.

    I'd either use chisels or a saw to remove a lot of that, then use my #51 and shooting board to get rid of the excess.

    Oy!

    While I would be in your boat of wanting to use lumber that I had a hand in ASAP, it's best to let it age/dry out as much as possible.

    You Aussies and your utility woods. . .

    I'm jealous. While white oak and hickory are nice, Jarrah (which I believe that plane to be made from) is so beautiful.

    I had the super-fine LV DT saw. While not as glamorous as the Bad-Axe saws I have, and maybe not quite as dead-aim accurate, it was a hungry little thing that chewed up wood...

    I assume all the other angles are dead on as well?

    Seriously, I've been wanting to get a mitre box/saw for a while, but I've never been sure about how well they cut.

    Looks very nice, by the way.

    SSL certs aren't necessarily for encryption; it's for confirmation that no one has hijacked SMC. They're a trust tool, not an encryption tool. That's just a side effect of the keying process.

    HTTPS/SSL certs

    I don't suppose there's any chance that SMC will be implementing HTTPS site-wide at any point?

    Just curious since there are orgs that will cut SSL certs for free, or at most a very nominal fee.
