Once you get the rust off, get yourself some camilla oil in the large spray bottle from Japan Woodworker, or where ever.... spray a small rag and give the tools a light coat when you put the plane...
Aw, c'mon Ken, a little bit of a drive by there .... "if you are really concerned about exchanging information." A review of my posts in the neader forum will show that I've given and shared what I...
Augusto: I've installed over $6000 of millwork in my house, and I've found that using a coarser toothed coping saw blade is much better than the fine blades. Nothing special about the blade, Home...
Glenn: Well, sites like this grow from user generated content, ascribing membership growth to advertisers and user fees makes little sense to me; its the membership that shares their knowledge that...
Well, a little bit of too many rules, and the slow erosion of access unless you pay, sort of grates on me from time to time. Seems like some folks have another agenda.

George, you are right on target as far as I'm concerned.
Like Frank Klausz, with a sharp pencil, and cut on the line. Practice, practice....
They are out there at the flea markets, but again, over priced; rustbuckets have asking prices of $15 each for under 1" sizes, those in better shape sometimes more. You got to be in the right place...
Always start the cut on the push stroke; its a canard that you start on the pull. It takes a light touch and practice, but once you get the feel for it you'll never go back to the pull stroke.
+1 ......but with a stone, not a file...........works for me.
Look for a Stanley or Millers Falls brace, make sure the ratcheting works, the chuck post is not worn out and the chuck operates smoothly. As long as the wood handles are in one piece, don't get too...
Doorstop.
Or ballast under the lathe.
Those are your choices. Seriously, don't waste your time on this one. Stanley "Handyman's" are superior to this plane, and I wouldn't recommend spending...
The forked lever cap is not all that rare, so its not particularly collectible. That being said, these make great users, so flatten the back of the iron and sharpen it up, it will serve you well.
I'm sure IBC makes fine irons. What I don't understand is why folk expect not to have to sharpen a new iron a little bit, and flatten the back a little bit, on anybody's iron - notwithstanding any...
For $7 you should have bought it and made a tote, if the sole and frog were in good shape and the iron had length. $7 in gas is what it takes to cut my lawn.....
Bandsaw, there's no shame in using one. Somebody with a bandsaw close to the GA coast - help this guy out.....
You can get the handles at Diefenbacher tools:

Frankly, a jack plane is generally used for rougher work, and the sole does not have to be perfectly flat. so long as the toe, the area immediately in front of and behind the mouth, and somewhere in...
A screw from the frog adjustment bracket of a Stanley will do as a replacement in a pinch.
Larry, you might want to rethink, as the bed of a 90 really does not lend itself to tenon trimming, not enough length to register properly. For another $10-15 or so, upgrade to a 92 or 93 if its not...
Sharpening is the key skill to learn. A plane is no more than a jig to hold an edge tool, in this case an iron. LV and LN make fine planes, I own more than a few, but for regular bench planes a...
Scraper after planing if you need it. Depending on the stain/finish, raise the grain if really necessary with some spit coat shellac for sealing, or mineral spirits and then very lightly (I'll say...
If you're looking to go cheap, the standard angle block plane of choice is a vintage Stanley 9 1/2; in good to excellent shape, they go for about $35 to $40 in the classifieds below, more often found...
Just to be clear, I don't have any problem with a business plan that requires "members" to subscribe for content, Northwind owns the url, the servers, etc. and can do whatever it pleases. But the...
