I just tried a 10-24 cap screw in my #78 but the threads were too coarse. It's probably a 10-28, one of those Stanley peculiars which no one seems to carry.

About a year ago I bought some 1/4" acrylic pieces and tried sharpening with silicon carbide grit and mineral oil. Maybe it was the relatively coarse grit (80 I think) I experimented with, but it...
I've used water for a long time or just dry, tried WD40 for a bit, now mostly use mineral oil.
From the DMT FAQ:
While we recommend you use DMTŪ products dry or with water only, it is acceptable...
The Essential Woodworker by Robert Wearing, republished by Lost Art Press a few years ago (still available). From the marketing blurb:
There are sections on making tables and stools, carcases,...
Sounds familiar. I've never used the EZ Lap stones but I have almost the full array of DMT Dia-Sharp, from Extra-Coarse to Extra-Extra-Fine. In my experience, diamond plates are not the best choice...
I agree with Shawn, make it a floating panel.
Doing some rough calculations with my LV wood movement chart... making guesses here, like the top being about a foot wide, 4% annual humidity ...
Thank you Peter (and Harold, who PM'd me).
I started building before the book was published. For that and other reasons, mine is not an exact copy, but it's similar and certainly based on what Schwarz built, which in turn is based on...
My best guess is a Stanley 861. In an OldTools Archive thread from 2008 someone asked about a similar box and one of the replies was:
Not sure if google books links work properly but here's...
There are people out there with more money than sense. Maybe I could trade some of my sense for their money? :rolleyes: I have the Olson. If I had $200 to spend on a coping saw I would certainly...
Might be thinking of the "gizmozilla" from PWW? It was mostly a router jig but I think there were threads here and on other forums adapting it as a moxon-style setup.

I'd never thought of using a chisel with a miter jack as well as a plane. Seems obvious now that I've seen it, but that's pretty cool.
The table turned out well, and I also appreciate the detailed steps, including the mistakes and how you fixed them. Like Judson and others, I was also intrigued by the cut-off jig, so thanks for...
Like the rest of my bench, my shelf boards were recycled wood from a local place that deals in that sort of thing. I crosscut them out of a long ~3/4" plank which was already shiplapped. It had...
The dimensions of the top of a Roubo style bench make it function like a beam, albeit a very wide but shallow beam. As hard maple has an even higher modulus of elasticity (stiffness) than...
This page on brasscityrecords gives a little history.
These two completed ebay listings have some decent photos of the blade and chipbreaker.

According to this list of archimedean screwdriver patents on wkfinetools, patent 887423 relates to model #111.
oldtoolheaven has an illustration from the 1911 catalog on their Goodell-Pratt...
I've had the Low-Angle Smooth Plane, which is the one with milled sides, for a few years. I chose it over the BU Smoother Plane because the milled sides would allow using the plane for shooting. ...
I have a 22" Disston #7 7-ppi rip saw which I use for ripping and resawing. I agree they can be difficult to find. If you do go the route of refiling a crosscut panel saw, I would keep the teeth...
According to the MSDS, the Titebond liquid hide glue contains ammonium thiocyanate and cyanoguanidine, while Old Brown Glue contains urea. In both cases this is of course in addition to the...
I have a Marples M44, which is essentially the same as a Record 044, which is similar to the Stanley 50. It was a good ebay deal for a plane which is fairly rare this side of the pond and had only...
On mine, there is a screw and washer on the end of the grinding-wheel shaft which, once removed, allows the shaft to be pulled out the other side. That and the three screws on the case are all it...
I have chewed up the brass roller on my MKII guide on coarse abrasives. So much so that I've almost completely abandoned it in favor of the relatively-unscathed cambered roller, even when I don't...
I think I would glue the other two sections together, and then glue the two halves together. In each glue-up you would have equal clamping pressure on both sides of the glue line.
Ugh, that's no fun.
My first line of defense is a dehumidifier. They can be expensive to run in an uninsulated house or a permanently-moist basement (I have both). Of course, tools are expensive...
