Hmmm good point about the planer blades. I didn't consider that. The finish is definitely aluminum oxide.

My planer is a dewalt lunch box type planer with reversible and disposable blades. I...

I have a box of prefinished 3/4" oak flooring that I want to make a small round table out of.

Once the finish and the milled grooves on the bottom side are planed off, the thickness of the boards...

I will drill the holes at 3/4" and keep checking TFWW.
Thanks!

Ok Thanks. I will check back in a few weeks. I would prefer to have the holdfasts in hand before drilling the dog holes, but are 3/4" holes the standard size to bore?

I am very excited to say that I am close enough to completing my work bench that I need to buy some holdfasts!

I have done some research and it seems the Gramercy ones are popular, but TFWW is...

I've used BLO on quite a few projects. No adhesion problems after a 48 hour dry time (typically using shellac). One thing you have to watch for is bleed back from an open pored wood. If you flood...

Very nice!

Thanks for the input. The ones I saw were appx $34 for both 1/4" and 5/16". I think they had a 3/8" for closer to $40. I don't remember the make on them, but it was readable. Probably over 4" of...

What is a fair price to pay for a user grade pigsticker mortise chisel?

Hmm very valid points. I know in 5 years I won't miss the $80, but right now it means the difference in getting one soon or waiting for a while. I guess you are a right though. I'd rather have it...

I know this has been covered before, but one more time please...

I have zero experience with shoulder planes, but I would like to add one to my toolbox. I can get the SW #92 locally for appx...

I've done a few cabinet projects for hire. It's a hard road if you are legitimately trying to make money. There are a few books on how to price your projects and make money. You need to charge...

Best would be frame and panel. Easiest would be biscuits for alignment and pocket screws/glue to hold it there forever.

Well done!

Thanks. I will check into a 4 or 5 tpi rip saw next. It never ends!

Yes I think it was never sharpened at all by hand as Woodcraft would have you believe. I found an old triangle file in my toolbox, clamped the blade against a shop cabinet, quickly went down the saw...

No carbide on this blade. It just looks like some metal that molded there when they were cutting the teeth.
Thanks for the thought though!

I closely examined the teeth on the new rip saw against my crosscut saws. It is definitely in a rip pattern... it's probably just very poorly sharpened.

Quite a few of the teeth have a "lump"...

I am trying to rip tenons (first time ever hand saw ripping) on the legs of my poplar roubo bench. I thought I could get by using a crosscut saw, and it was painfully slow. So I went to Woodcraft...

Wow, $90 for a set of 9 chisels... if they are decent that is an excellent value.

(Even if they are mediocre that would be an upgrade on my chisels. I might have to give this set a try)

Thanks. I paid about $115 with tax. So maybe a few more bucks than I could get on ebay, but I feel good about this one as it comes from a reputable source. I now have a sore shoulder from working...

Well......... I happened tofind my way to that side of town, and I happened to walk out of Klinspors with a #7. Tell me what y'all think........

It's a little grimey, but everything seems (to...

Perfect!
I will check that out next time I on that side of town.
Thanks!

That is what I plan to do to save a little bit of lumber.

I know the poplar is softer than maple, etc. so I want to make it a bit thicker to allow for reflattening. I think I will rip the...

Yes I would not cut it either.

Just build a really beefy cabinet for it to sit on and you can seat it down into liquid nails or silicon. That is how most granite kitchen counters are installed.
