My initial thought was: Start with 5 gallons of ice cream....
The trickle down effect of what essential businesses need to stay open reminds me of the "for want of a nail" poem. Like any physics problem, everything is related to everything else. To top it off...
I am old enough to remember "iron lungs" and the unfortunates that got trapped in them. They were and are non-invasive ventilators. Not sure they are any quicker to supply than the current invasive...
Add Peru and Argentina to that list. In both places, only crisp undamaged lightly folded bills were acceptable. Seemed odd to me as that is the likely condition of counterfeit bills, but then I don't...
Having had experience with overseas suppliers including Taiwan and China, I can say with certainty that the buyer can specify the tolerances he requires (and is willing to pay for (TANSTAAFL))

My left-handed rebate plane (sold it at a loss to a left-handed woodworker), this was a Chris Schwarz influenced purchase - he suggest a pair and so I bought a pair. Not my finest decision. The...
Don't know about model A's, but model T's came in green the first year or two before becoming black. Learned this at Henry Ford Greenfield Village when I took my model T driving lessons. BTW that was...
Large hole in bottom just inside the the lower frame, centered on each drawer. Place indentation/pull strip/finger hole, etc. on bottom of drawer. Place palm of hand on lower frame, curl fingers...
I guess I will be the contrarian in this crowd. I have a set of the bevel-edge chisels and prefer them to my Lie-Nielsens. They fit *my* hands better and the edges last longer. Looking at the backs,...
Speaking as someone who is "temporarily able", there have been two times in my life, each for almost a year, that I have been on crutches/walker/wheelchair and handrails can make the difference...
Down low, I *feel* like I have more control when chopping if I hold the chisel down low.
There is no wrong way as long as the material is removed where needed and not where it shouldn't and no blood...
Don't keep batteries in items you don't use regularly enough to wear out the batteries - remove them.
Then even if they leak, no harm done.
I would suggest a second rock to knap the first into a sharp edge, thus igniting the "sharpening wars" that exist to this day (grin).

Lowell, you know that is part of a 4 volume set from Lost Art Press don't you?
The complete set is quite worthwhile.

Really nicely done!
Please keep us posted on the progress.

I do hope you have discussed using epoxy on this project with your client.
If you had used epoxy on MY wood furniture, you would be facing a lawsuit for destruction of property!
There is a reason...

Adam, the only place that I have used a back bent gouge is for the area between knuckles on a Philadelphia style claw and ball foot.

It's a shop made mallet - if it breaks, repair or replace it. The laminations are just for looks anyway.
May 4 - 5, 2019 are the days that the Society of American Period Furniture Makers (SAPFM) will be demonstrating at the Detroit Institute of Arts.
So, maybe you can visit the museum one of the days...
