Please count me in. Thank you!

I got the Narex set too for most of the same reasons Josh gave.

I got the larger set of seven. I have found that I mainly use the 1/4, 3/8 and 1/2 for close work and the 1" for most everything...

OK. Thanks a lot.

Mike.

how did you glue the mortise and tenons for this side of your lowboy to avoid splitting the side?

I went through the old posts and found you cut 3 mortises in the legs. So, I...

That's not a tiny plane! THIS is a tiny plane!:

Nick,

Sellers uses a chamfer on the toolbox. You can see the method on the clock making video #4 on youtube.

The chamfers taper off with an edge left on the panel that is less than the groove...

I thought you had to be kidding about that quote. Nope! It's there for all to see.

As luck would have it, I have a single malt and some gorgeous burl laying around. I have been keeping them while...

John, I have the 10" Eclipse and I like it just fine.

The first vise I ever bought has a single ACME thread and I got used to using that, so when it came time to upgrade I went with the Eclipse....

Moses,

I would suggest before you go too far into making a tool chest that you make first a mockup and see how you like the chest for size. I suggest this as I too read the book and was all set...

Thanks guys. I'll leave some spacing in between them and call it done.

Hi all,

I am working on a bench and nearing the end. Now it is time to put in a shelf going between the stretchers.

I have cut a number of boards to length and am debating on how they should be...

Here's my No. 3. Type 11.

Q: Are they worth rehabbing?
A: Yes

Q:Is rehabbing a plane difficult?
A: No

I've rehabbed a few beater planes that others would have used as boat anchors. What you have just need a good...

I've been at this hand tool lark for little over a year now and I made a saw last weekend. It isn't that hard. Rasping a shape takes a long time.

I took a look at the Gramercy instructions and...

I keep seven chisels in a shallow tray that I keep in a tool well. Lid is for when they go to bed. Works for me.

Mike,

I'm set up the same as you, with a cambered blade in a regular plane. I put mine now in my #4 as it is a little lighter. I have fixed up some junker #4 planes to do different tasks.

Mike, just on a side note: In England, a 2x4 has an eased corner with a lot smaller radius than you'd get on BORG lumber. So, for someone in England, it would not be so big of a job.

Take a look...

Andrew, I think the Lee Valley dovetail saw would be good for a first saw. It is well made and the least expensive of the new saws that I see.

The handle is held on with one threaded rod, like...

Thanks guys. Harold, I've been reading the site for a while and it took a lot of goes to sign up for some reason. I knew what to expect.

I've been to quite a few garage sales, thrift stores and...

I went to Habitat For Humanity's Restore in Aurora, IL to paw at a Bailey #6 Type 11 that I saw a couple of weeks ago. For $30 it has a cracked knob and is corrugated, where I'd like to get a smooth...

So, I'm guessing they're still up and running.

Thanks, Steven. What I have looks similar to Lakeside and some Handyman photos I have seen after I read your comment.

Thanks guys.

It also looks to me like someone got the lever cap off a Stanley and put it on another plane. What gets me is that the plane is marked No. 4 like a Stanley and the lever adjuster is...

Hello all,

this is my first post to the Creek. I have read quite a bit and will make some more post soon regarding my woodworking hobby i.e. buying old tools.

I have questions regarding a...
