Beautiful bench that you are building!
Do you plan to enlarge the bench dog holes from the bottom in order to use holdfasts?

Brandon, I own and use both types (metal and wooden) of planes. I have a wooden plough plane that works beautifully, and it's very similar to what my LV RH plough plane does. The blade in the LV is...
As a newcomer to using hand planes, I would bet you're somewhat overwhelmed by all the suggestions. Take heart, it just takes time to learn each plane that you acquire. By purchasing a LV or LN...
replacement blades plus a chip breaker can wreck havoc with some vintage planes, mostly due to the difference of thickness between the vintage pair and the replacement pair (blade/chip breaker). ...
Jim Bode tools (https://www.jimbodetools.com/)is another very reputable seller, as is Joshua Clark at HyperKitten (http://hyperkitten.com/tools/ForSale/).
Beauty of a box!
Sounds like you did quite well. For the cutters and a body in good to great shape, the $150 is a pretty solid price for the blades, body, slitter, and camber. What I don't see are short rods; but...
Thanks for the post!
A Stanley #5 or its equivalent MFs or Sargent or Ohio Tools, etc., can vary in length but not in blade width: 2 inches. I have a few 5 1/4 planes, which are shorter than my 5s but all the blades are...
Congrats on the developing basement workshop!
With regard to the Bandsaw: I love mine (a 16") but it's not big enough. I should have bought in the 20-24" range for throat and power and the...
Well said, fellow treasurer of quite necessary multiples for assumed essentials! Amen!!!!
Score the edges the rabbet with a marking knife then chop out the 8 inch length with the appropriate chisel (for me, 1"). Once the rabbet trough is roughly defined, finish out with a router plane or...
If they are as good as the pictures look, then $240 could be a deal. A 3, 4, & 5 could go for ~ $40 apiece, then maybe $50 for the newer #6; $85 for the 7; and $100 (which is low for a good...
Well done! Enjoy these.
Nice rehab. Nice thin kerfs, too.
Outstanding!!!! Well said.
Frederick, I agree with your comments. For me, learning what sharp is, and then being able to get all my blades to that level, has become the gateway to more enjoyable woodworking. Having (or...
That's incredible.
I've thought about this for the last 24 hours and still have trouble identifying that one item to buy. A new workbench is definitely needed; but more storage space is a MUST! So, I guess I'll go with...
I've got a few of those super deals, too; but as for a repeatable, regular buying experience--it's not one. OTOH, it's taken me nearly a decade to be able to spend hard earned cash on expensive new...
I'm curious what I'm missing, too.
Get well soon! Hope you heal quickly!!!! Great box project.
WOW!!!! Thanks for resuming the build for us.
Stanley did quite a number on us poor users by using different threads, rotations, and sizes throughout the years. To find a match quickly--that's the rub. Yes, you will find one eventually. It'd be...
Frank, nice picture of your confined space. Now I feel like a glutton (in comparison). BTW, is that your saw bench sitting on top of the clamp rack?
