thanks for the offer prashun but i have plenty of cherry, and other wood as well. dont we all. I like the contrast of the walnut sides, I almost never use one wood throughout, especially on boxes...

brian do you mean that the sides wont be flush with the lid due to exspansion of the sides up and down? I was planing on sloping the lid toward the front and then cutting the front and lid with...

I have the veritas Inlay radius and straight cutting tools and there okay. they work, but i find that cutters are good at scoring lines but not removing the waste. The cutters are designed with a...

I keep finding yellow cenitipede looking things inbetween the bark and tree, are these serious problems?

I forgot to ask: Is there any danger of bugs being transfered to my shop if i take this stuff up and cut it on the bandsaw then stack it in the barn. It would only be inside a short period but...

thanks for all the replies. I started working with it today, debarking and sealing and i noticed all the heavily spalted areas are way to punky, they just pull apart into fibers. like really good...

I started working on the wood today, de barking etc.. and i noticed that were all the good spalting is is way to soft for solid lumber. very disapointing. so im left with sections of sound mapple...

I own the LV low angle jack and its a nice plane, I like it alot but there are a few things you should be aware of. as for the set screws on the sides, they seem to be practically usless, mabye I...

So i woke up today and the city peaple were taking down a damaged tree next door and long story short i have a truck load of spalted mapple in my drive way. how should i go about preserving this...

Hi everyone, I thought id post this here because you guys seem to have the most experience with working green lumber in small log chunks. anyway i woke up thus morning and the city guys work...

Wow sounds like this would be more trouble then this is worth. They are not vintage blades or anything. One I made myself and the other is a lei Nelson blank. They were broke on my first couple...

I was wondering if anyone has experience repairing broken tangs. I have a couple moulding plane irons that broke right at the blade tang junction. I would like to save them and also I have a can...

Thanks for all the suggestions guys. Any opinions on bed angles for hardwood, mostly local domestic(NY state) Like cherry, maple, walnut.
I used 55 degrees for my h&r's, side rounds and snipes...

Well I tried using a scraper shaped to the appropriate size bead, in this case 3/16. All in all it went well, the only problem was that it ended up slightly larger then intended and because I had to...

Yes I already have the boxing in. Making a groove to rough out the bead shape is easy enough but to get the semi circle shape. When you say make a mother plane do you mean make a plane with a semi...

I'm interested in making some side bead planes of small sizes 3/16 and 1/4 inch. Any advice on shaping to soles? I would use my Stanley scratch header but it seems like the fence on the side bead...

Sorry I keep asking so many questions but everyone here has been so help full thus far. My problem is with a pair of half rounds. I already scraped to sets already so my assumption is that the...

Yeah I use the kitchen stove and actually I usually set it higher and now that I think of it I did come out a very faint straw. Thanks for the input I'll try retempering. I did try grinding the...

I tempered at 380 for an hour and 20 minutes and no I didn't leave it to soak to long. I guess I'll try retempering. Should I do the same temp or increase a little. It is o1.

Hi all, I was hoping someone can shed some light on a problem I'm having that I've never encountered before. I made a blade for a half round moulding plane and when I sharpen it the edge chips. ...

So I'm onto building snipes bill planes and I really can't find much information on them. I guess my first question is on the shape of the iron. Is the iron the same shape as the sole, both concave...

Thank you so much for your help don, I appreciate you taking time to respond to my pleas for help. I can't think of a better source of moulding plane knowledge.
So I think I understand how it works...
