Oh my gosh: I just realized that I never got the hang of winding sticks and that's because I was looking top-to-top. I just couldn't judge wind successfully, and couldn't figure out why. Thought my...

Nobody else has mentioned an obvious possibility, so I will. Just based on the photo, and it's hard to see, is it possible that this was simply stored with something sitting on top of it so that it...

Whenever I get a new tool that's really new, I'm actually kind of relieved when it gets the first scratch or ding. Like 'glad that's over with.'

However, I have to admit that my pair of Veritas...

Thanks for the replies. Lowell, I agree, but that's easier said than done.

Normand, that's a great catch - I hadn't seen that detail, but now that you mentioned it, it really does seem like...

Hey guys,

I bought a #3 off of that auction place, because I needed... ok wanted one. It clearly had a new blade as it was a Sweetheart while the casting had the 'S' as a type 6 or 7 (I think it's...

No kidding. I didn't look up the current price before I posted. Should have. I got it a couple of years ago for under $30. Batteries last a long time in it, actually. If you put it into...

Haha - the Rat Zapper is a much safer version of that, but it's the real deal. It really does work. No fuss, either. Just set it, and when you see the blinking red light, go inspect your kill. It's...

Given that I live in a state that is increasingly paranoid about all kinds of stuff like this, I don't know anything. However, I do know of... uh... a friend in a neighboring state... who was fed up...

+1 on the green. I have an old blue that needs an update. Might go green too. (I hope that Stanley execs aren't watching this thread, though...)

I fell asleep, actually. I was hoping for a jack rabbet, and indeed there were a few available, just not for folks like me who spent all Sunday raking the yard. Oh well, there's always next year.

I suspect that Woodcraft is out of stock. I managed to buy a couple 24" clamps, but the 40" clamps literally sold out while they were in my cart. This was around 3PM this afternoon.

Haha. It's funny that this thread is here now. Last week I was thinking something similar; I was cutting a half-lap joint and still haven't finished up my real bench. So the board was held in a...

+1 on the bench. With scars like that, you don't need a story. Everything looks great. Looking forward to the end of the chest.

Most of you guys could answer this better than I could, but it does seem to me that it's at least possible that the boards on that hutch split into those shapes while on the hutch. If you look at it,...

Second in from the right on the first picture, next to the spike, looks like a beer faucet wrench. I suppose it could be an old bottom bracket wrench for a bike, but the ones I've seen are shaped...

I too miss David. He was a voice of reason, and fearlessly fought against the current when he knew that he was right.

In the spirit of David, I'd like to point out that the idea that people -...

I love the design too! Ingenious!

One question: do you have to lift up the top plane in order to get at the bottom plane? I'm assuming so, but just wondering if that part of this is a little...

At least on ChefsKnivesToGo, they're advertising that the Professional is just the new name for the Choseras.

I wonder how long before Britain gets tapped out? Over the summer, I was in Sweden visiting family and nosed about in some antique stores, hoping to come across some half-forgotten set of old Bergs...

Holy cow. Nice set up. Is that woodie on the right a panel raiser? Shopbuilt? Is the Jack Rabbet (I think that's what it is) Lie Nielsen?

I'm also a homebrewer, and read a couple of forums related to that as well. I see the same tendency that I see here: for whatever reason, certain people really can't get over the idea that other...

I wouldn't think of it as a contest, but neither do I get out to tool shows very often. They're rare here where I am, and require a heck of a drive - I drive an F150 and that means GAS. I know that I...

I know it could be an invitation to a fight, but I'd love to hear from experienced users which they prefer from the two, and why. As I'm getting more into the hobby, I'd like to pick up a couple of...

I think that answers it, Sean. It was the natural edges, in part, that I was commenting on. Man, I am making a mess of describing the detail that I'm seeing, and that I really like. Here's a try:

Sean, I've seen this box before on the Creek, and I absolutely love it. My dad also plays dominos, so I hope to be able to make something similar soon. The detail that I really love on it is the top,...
