thanks! indulge is the right word.
i bought a PM-V11 blade with chipbreaker for a very old stanley 4 1/2 and found to my dismay it didnīt fit the plane properly. The yoke on the blade adjustment wasnīt long enough and the hole on the...
I know this is a slippery slope, that benefits are marginal and that i already have a perfectly fine set of stones up til a snow white 8000 that gives me good enough edges for my needs. And that...
wow, i didnīt knew about this... thanks for the info. i suppose euro walnut is different? my mother in law has a walnut on her yard and it looks like itīs being tortured by all the holm and cork oaks...
out of focus of this thread, but my HNT Gordon modified jack (no handles) is hands down my favourite plane for planning rosewood and ebony at the moment. once i got confortable with adjusting the...
the Veritas MKII is a very nice piece of kit, but over time i moved away from it to a cheap eclipse style guide (i have two of those, the one i got from Stuīs shop is very nice and can accommodate a...
iīm aware of that David. TBH i was considering the book instead (number two, right?) - somehow i get more feedback out of reading than watching a DVD.
thanks David and David, Hock it is (or was, as i already ordered it). i canīt find Mr. Charlesworthīs video, but got enough hints searching an UK forum.
best,
Miguel.
ok, thanks.
Hi all, iīm refurbishing an old (arenīt they all?) stanley 112 that i got from fleabay without a blade. so now iīm curious at which way to go regarding the aftermarket blade? veritas A2 (thicker and...
Iīve been for a couple of days toying with the stone. Less stiction (is this the proper name?) than the super stone. Faster and more tactile feedback. Very smooth, it seems to create more "mud" than...
Thatīs even better. Since i already have a Sigma 1 K and a chosera 2 K, the Snow White seems like it could just round up the system, and keep it manageable. but then my pile of "not in use" stones...
Thanks David, youīre da man. To be honest, the 8K SS fits my needs, this is mostly just a step down the slippery slope. Just so you see how futile this search is, my main gripe with the SS (besides...
Hi all,
I wonder whatīs the Naniwa Snow White (Junpaku, IIRC) about? itīs magnesia (so definitely not a SS), but it ainīt a chosera either (at least itīs not branded a cho). Itīs rather cheaper than...
oh, another handy gimmick IMHO is the Mirka abranet sanding block. attached to the vac it significantly decreases the ammount of dust that goes into the air.
FWIW i couldnīt be happier with my Festool CTL vac. very quiet, enough power for my needs and easy to maneuver and tuck away when not in use. light too!
thanks for the replies.
David: that could indeed be the case with the 600 DMT. thanks for the insight. But still i want a coarse waterstone ... :) what do you mean with "cuts fairly fine" - is it...
Hi all, thanks for reading.
After flattening the back of (yet) another out-of-flat chisel with a DMT 320 (? - the blue one) i keep thinking, this stone leaves horribly deep scratches. I go from...
Please excuse my ignorance (again...), but why? because there is the dust between 2 and 5 microns that gets away or am i missing something?
thanks!
thanks once more! i appreciate all inputs. well, iīve been "trying" for a while now - what prompted me to want to change in the 1st place was the discovery that the smallest dust particles were the...
1st thing, many thanks for your work and generosity on the separator. iīm considering building one when iīll get the time (not any time soon, though). 2nd thing, why does so many people call you...
Thanks for the reply.
You mean i should skip the canister filter and go with a bag? That would be super, but leaves me with one question. If a bag is good enouigh and will take particles down to one...
Sorry for yet another question re: dust collection, but iīm having an hard time making sense of all the info available (this and other forums, Mr. Bill Pentz site, on-line retailers,...). I have a...
one more thing, the trick of purposely hollowing the back of a chisel seems a clever thing. have to try it with one of my budget chisels. thanks for the tip!
thanks so much for the replies. yes, i was afraid that it would be either too slow or too hard to keep the blade square, but i desperately need a reason to buy a sharpening gadget - for the first...
