i've tried several ways including applying a thin layer of glue to form a skin to help prevent...
x2, what is the point?? have also used mine for years. i can't imagine having so little to do in the shop that i'm filling extension wings...
i usually use my stanley no. 7 for shooting. with a sharp blade, the mass of the plane really helps.
i would look at a LN/LV low angle jack or jointer instead of the dedicated shooting plane. it...
use your fingers to put more pressure on the outside corners of the blade while sharpening, thus removing more material from the corners.
or you can use a cambered roller setup like the veritas...
What time is it supposed to begin?

+1 for sonos, although I don't yet have one dedicated to the garage. Any problems in having a Play unit in an unconditioned and dusty space? Maybe this is better handled with a connect amp?
you will never get a full width shaving with camber. that's the point of it.
the rougher the operation, the more camber you want. you just want to hog off material. for a scrub/jack/fore plane,...
I think a router plane would take forever on end grain like that. I would try to saw the 2 angled walls, then chop out the middle flat.
i try to approach tasks using the coarse, medium, fine...
x2. drill the hole, then chisel. i would center the nut on the hole and trace around it as a guide.
Or a couple wraps of tape.
thanks for the update, how sad. i got my first couple handplanes from him among other tools along the way. what a loss.
I think Peter's point is that it is very unlikely to cut a spline within a spline as described, perfectly centered and at the perfect depth, to have a consistent contrasting band around each spline....
seriously! now i feel betrayed. all of the wonderful content and help that jim has posted over the years, just a front for his commie ways. i now must go back and read in between the lines of all of...
can't tell if that is a level bottom or if it slopes up to the bench top.
if it is level, i would define the edges with a chisel and use a big chisel to chop/pare out the big stuff, then clean up...
I have started to freehand more despite owning a veritas mkII jig in an effort to simplify. I know my blades are sharp when I can shave my face with one while using the other as a mirror.
wedged through tenons if you don't mind seeing that from the top side.
Use a cow that's still alive.
I paid a guy $300 earlier this year to hang a bare wood slab door that looks exactly like your picture, same size too. Didn't seem like too hard of a job and I thought about doing it myself, but...
I wonder if these will eventually take the place of their other bevel down planes? Or if they will maintain two price points for each size. Seems a bit redundant.
i love it. my favorite parts are at 1:24 with glue dripping everywhere and at 1:43, showing the ridiculous number of hold downs needed to secure a board. LOL
So THAT's what a knot is.
I've chopped 1/2" mortises with a mortise chisel. It's not very fun. I'd much rather drill and pare for anything that big. Or maybe I just don't have a big enough mallet.
Nice bench.
Just got shipping notification of my 2 12" clamps from southern tool. Should be here tomorrow.
