David has one possible answer. The other thing to watch out for is to make sure your guide rail is fully seated on the support closes to your hip. If the support is too low the rail can move left to...
I bought my Felder machine last fall and the service was great. They were prompt answering my e-mails and questions over the phone. When I decided to have the machine delivered to my house rather...
I can't say I've run tests comparing the Domino to Tradition M & T's but will tell you the Domino's are very strong and more then adequate for furniture.
Like a traditional M & T you need to...
Hi Jason
I bought the Hammer A3 31 and can't even begin to tell you how happy I am with it!!!
It is by far the most expensive machine in my shop and probably the most difficult to justify.
...
I am loving this new combo machine and am wondering if anybody has bought replacement cutters for this machine from anyone other then Felder?
TIA
Dan Clermont
Was the Hammer A3-31 ever $3000??? I thought it was $3500! If it was $3000 the price just jumped to $3900 which is a 30% increase
I'd like to own one but won't be spending that kind of cash on a...
Nice Box,
Care to share the recipe Jeff Jewitt passed on to you? How much of the dye's were used?
Thanks

Like Don mentioned up above my favourite shooting plane is the LN 5.5. Makes a great smoother and jointer as well. This plane weighs 7 pounds which makes it a breeze to cut end grain even if it is a...
I am going to go against the norm here and go withthe rabbetting block plane (LN 60 1/2R)
Personally, think you would be happier with both the LN 60 1/2 and a rabbetting block plane such as the...
Hi Timothy,
I have my planes stored in a plane cabinet vertically similar to Garrett Hack.
To pull a plane I lift then pull. I like it cause the blade is not in contact and the cabinet takes...
Nice,
What are you packing in the box? How much does it weigh. I plan on doing something similar so I can cart tools around.

I use a Stanley 45 with the slitter followed by a saw and then chisel.
It works extremely well although you have to be careful with the 45 and the end of your box as the majority of the fence is...
Clifton 3 in 1 would be more appropriate to do both tasks.
Dan Clermont
I agree with Bob.
Every chisel is different.
I use Berg chisels and own a Very nice set of sockets which I made and the labelled handles which I have stored.
I don;t have a lathe but know...
If it were me and I had a $100 gift certificate and was to get 10% off. I would splurge for the LN #8.
THe LN #8 is $475 - 10% = $427.50 less $100 = $327.50 (that is cheap!)
Give me the gift...
Doh!!! pam beat me to it. I agree with Pam on the above two mentioned books as excellent sources which will make you realize how much planes can do.
Careful with your wallet and don't step too...
I bought a mitre saw, jigsaw and router before I got my first hand tool. The router annoys me so it doesn't see much use.
After learning how to sharpen edge tools I went almost full neander but...
I am going to have to add that tool to my Christmas List. Does it come in a LN box?
Dan Clermont
I agree, call LN in the morning they will do everything possible to straighten your problems out.

Hi Bob,
I guess it depends on how much money you have to spend on tools. But I would think if you bought the 50 degree frog for your Bronze #4 you'd get similar results as the 4 1/2.

You may be sniping the board by putting to much pressure on the toe of the plane when you finish your shaving.
To flatten the board get y our longest plane and take shavings from the middle of the...
I think Dave's list is pretty accurate and will stress you will never regret buying quality and buying quality once is far cheaper then buying jump and regretting it.
You can get allot of stuff...

When a plane is on my bench I either leave it on its side or place a block of wood underneath the sole to keep the blade off...
I was wondering if anyone has compared the Miller Falls #1 Shave to the Kelly Tools #1 sold by Museum of WOodworking Tools. Really, what I am wondering is how much easier it is to use the Kelly Tools...
