    I make lots of mistakes; more than most. I don't get things perfect. My time for woodworking is limited and my goal is to create something. I have no goal to become a hand tool woodworker. It's a...

    I don't often borrow or loan tools. If I borrow a tool I return it in at least the same condition; better if possible. That means I will return it clean, sharp, lubricated, etc. If it breaks, I will...

    Terrific work everyone! I'm always in awe at the talent here in our little forum. It's truly inspiring even though I feel like the least able guy in the room.

    I added leather to the movable jaw of my vices a couple of years ago. I chose leather about 3/16" thick and put the smooth side out. I mounted it with plain yellow glue and it's never come loose....

    Even though I only have one smoother, I'd like another. Mostly I'd like a lighter vintage smoother because... it's lighter. It's important in the sense that it's the tool I use for fine tuning. For...

    If you want to restore it back to a single bevel, I would grind the edge back flat until I erased the bevel on the back. Then I'd grind and then hone the edge until it was sharp.

    I can't help but to chuckle. Knowing this is woodworker porn does not diminish my enjoyment looking at it. That barely curling shaving is seductive :)
