Glue scraper
I also like the #7 use it a lot. Another idea would be a Miter box and saw. I bought a old Stanley miter box 386 line and had the saw sharpen and tuned. My electric mitre box has not been plug in...
I started acquiring hatchets and axes last year have found a few nice one. Have used a broad hatchet for woodworking, it's a good tool but makes a lot of waste. Adams Cherubini did a good demo in...
My vote inexpensive saw, kids tend to be hard on tools not on purpose they just don't know better. My 7 year old son was using my fret saw this weekend, he was having a hard time and keep bending the...
My arm is still sore from drilling dog holes. Last weekend I did a complete overhaul of my workbench. Made the first bench 2 years ago out of scrap wood when we moved in. New bench is free standing...

Not sure if you have used it yet but Paraffin wax on the bottom of a plane does wonderful things.
The Woodwrights Shop did a show about the Moxon Vise. A lot of good information.

Millers Falls Langdon Mitre Box or one just as nice, send the saw out to be sharpened. I use my Mitre box all the time. I use it so much I had to use the dust collector the other day to clean the...
I have both, I like the Fret the best. For me it's not the saw but the blades. Make sure you have a good blade on the saw the 16tpi ski tooth blades by TFWW are great. The blades you get from your...
I made a Moxon using press screws. It's one of the best things I ever made for my work bench. I'm 6.4 and hate bending over to work on stuff.
You could make one for under $50.00 using press screws....
Was at a garage sale for lunch and they had a Disston saw looked like maybe a D8 because of the bolt pattern. One of the nuts on the flat side had a extruded letter S on it? It was brass nut (not...
Practice planing more then you don't have to saw straight, just close enough to plane it straight. :)
My son is 7 he likes his coping saw and has a small 16" Western saw. His favorite tool is a small block plane. Make sure he has a bench or saw horse his size to work on. When my son was 5 he was eye...
Hope to get them cleaned up and dated next week.
I have used a Broad Hatchet a little in wood working. Great tool for removing a lot of extra wood fast. Will have to look into the uses of a felling axe. Every time I search it I come up with a new...
I have pick up more planes in the last 2 weeks then I have over the last 3 years of looking for tools. Yesterday I was at a estate sale and purchased 2 #45 for $25.00 each one is for parts the other...
Picked up this Collins axe at an Estate sale for $8.00 trying to figure out what kind of axe it is. I think it's a tomahawk axe. It's a full size axe but has a smaller axe head, feel great in the...
Here is the #8 after a quick cleaning, and adjustment. It was given to me by another wood worker. He wanted it to get restored and used. Going to give it the full restoration soon. Have my first...
I paid a little more for my D-8 last weekend $3.00 but it was sharp 6 TPI rip.:)270607 The plane is a #6 for $10.00
No V-line decal on cap but everything else is there. It been plane crazy at my place, picked up this plane and a Stanley #5, #6 and #8 last week. Have been looking for a #8 for over a year and half....
I will have to check the cap. I think they made a lot of them so the value is kind of low.
I'm a tool user not collector BUT this weekend I found a Miller Falls 707 in the box for $1.00. It's in mint condition besides the broken knob, look's like it was used maybe once. It's so nice I'm...
