Hi Luis
Do not glue on the back (of the cabinet). Just use screws as you may wish to remove it some time in the future.
Dovetailing the case is fine, but through dovetails in a small cabinet is...
Thanks Jeff. The legs were glued and screwed (from the inside) ...

Hi Maurice
That thread was written in 2011, and the rules have been re-written since then. Time was that a high cutting angle was the first defence against tear out when planing. now it is the...

Look at the work of the late David Savage. What stands out here? https://finefurnituremaker.com/

William, it is a pattern bit.

Richard, I recognise that there are different levels to your question. The literal answer is in monetary terms: building one-off pieces which command high prices. The other issue, which I suspect to...
Jim, I can imagine the "what" and even the "why", but struggle to understand the reason it was considered necessary.

I purchased this one from them. It is a beast. I have not had the occasion to use it as yet.

A note about wedges
This is a cross post from the Australian forum, where I was asked for more information about the wedged through tenons.
I am not sure if the photo provided must detail,...
Thanks Greg ... and welcome to SMC.
I did think of pinning the tenons, but decided against this as it is likely to just damage them. Glue should be fine.

Which one are you referring to, Tony? And thanks.
Kind regards

Today we reached the milestone I was patiently (okay, not so patiently) waiting for - glueing up the legs and seats. To get to this stage, however, required matching the mortices with the loose...
Jig for training the hand to sharpen twist drill bits
There are two important criteria to watch out for when sharpening twist bits:
1. Maintain a constant, symmetrical angle that meets in the...
Hi Carroll
While I could mention manufacturers of twist bits I use (however, they are local and not much use to you), in my opinion it is of less relevance than the ability to sharpen them when...
Thanks Joe. Much appreciated.

Thanks David. Thanks Todd. Thanks Jim. Nice to know you are on board. Please do feel free to chip in with your own experiences.

Thanks Tony!
I'll get back to the chairs this weekend. The plan is sanding seats and legs (I am so ambivalent here as the finish off the scrapers has a luster, and leaves lovely fine tracks which...
Warren, I have no doubt that you could have done a better sharpening job. Also a better job of setting the chipbreaker, and using it with a standard angle frog to better effect. But then that might...
Warren, I imagine that sharpening and set up, along with cutting angle, are all going to play a part. Who knows how many used a plane at an Event, and the standard to which it was set up?

Just remembered - Clifton make O1 blades and these are 3/16" thick ... same as the LN. I have one that I occasionally use in a LN #3.
Most of the time my LN #3 uses a PM-V11 Veritas Stanley...
I have taken a different approach. When my Hammer K3 slider is used in tablesaw mode - using the rip fence - my MFT doubles as an outfeed table ...

Thanks Ben. Thanks Ron.
Don't be afraid to ask questions. There are no stupid questions. That's how we all learn. Me too.

Thanks Larry.
It is so helpful receiving feedback. I was not sure if anyone was getting something from all this. It feel back-and-forth to me. The thread was intended for discussing and there has...
