I do, and it works when you saw continuously. When you stop sawing, and peel the guide off the saw. Then start sawing again, you can see where you stoped and started again. The magnets on the Dave...

If it helps you, I have a Bedrock 604 type 6. I bought it in an antique store, for $75 about two years ago.I though I got a good deal, at the time. I had to put a couple hours in to clean it up, and...

I have the Dave Baron guide. I used it on just one project. I didn't care for it. Dave used a Japanese saw with it, I have back saws. The problem with back saws is depth of the cut. I was putting...

I will probably be in the minority with my opinion. I have worked on both types of benches. To be honest with you they are not all that different. You can use a holdfast on both. You can clamp to...

Hi Oskar, What do plan on building? With space being limited, an 8' bench seems a little large. If you could get by with a 6' bench, it would give you more options.

One thing that would help with...

I hope you realize. I said someone, not me. I don't have the wallet or biceps for it.

I am pretty sure if L-N made a #8 in bronze, someone would buy it.

Money, and I'm not very good at it.

Good vintage saws are not that hard to find. They can cost more sometimes. My full size crosscut saw D-15 Victory saw, and rip saw is a D12. Both are good users. I had to clean up the D-15 a little,...

I have a garage full of power tools. I find I get more satisfaction building things by hand. It's your bench, build itow you like.

A lot of benches have been made without those tools. When I built mine, I flattened it with a #7 hand plane. You can also use a hand router. There is plenty of videos on youtube showing both methods....

There a lot of ways to chop a mortise. People use them because they all will work, some better than others. I agree with what others have said, use a mortise chisel and practice. This video might...

I have not made one yet, I have been thinking about it. It is well thought out, but it is still just a saw bench. One side has straight legs and the other are splayed. There is a gap in the middle...

Like everyone else said, it depends on you and how tall you are. I am 5'8" tall, and my saw benches are 18" high. I wouldn't use a holdfast on the bench. You would be better off with something like a...

I have used this method, and left it in for a couple days. If the axe is that old this will help, but you may still end up replacing the handle. I didn't use motor oil, I used boiled linseed oil....

I made it there yesterday as well. I liked it better when it was at Jeff Miller's shop. I like Chicago School of Woodworking. With all that room, I don't see why they insist squeezing into the small...

I have the Veritas trammel points. They are well made work well and are affordable.

I used them when I made a Dutch Tool chest. They hold better than any nails I have used, you will destroy the wood trying to get them out. The heads are very large, 1/2" across.

The problem when talking about ergonomics, is people. Everyone is different. I am 5'8" with small hands. For someone that is 6'4" they will have much bigger hands, needing a larger handle....

What is best, is a matter of opinion. I prefer chisels with socket handles. Depending on the work that you do, you don't really need a full set of chisels. If it is Veritas that you like, than buy...

I have two thoughts, that are more of an opinion.

The first, if you are dressing a stone. Wouldn't you expect to see a scratch pattern on the stone, much like the scratch pattern you see on the...

It very well could be. If the mortise in the handle is a little too tight for the tang. I never really thought about that much. It could even been the wood it's self. I don't abuse my tools, but you...

I had one and it split. The salesman that sold it to me told me they were prone to split. I know two other people that have had them split as well. They just went and made new handles for them, I...

Over time the handles on the Ray Iles will split, because of the tang. I think the Veritas tang in socket will hold up better. I have been using the Lie Nielsen mortise chisels, they work as good as...
