Not mine, http://www.legacycrests.com/bobanddavebench.html

I built one similar, tho.

And a pdf I just found, seems originated from Bob:...

The plastic drafting triangles, from office supply store, are said to be pretty precise (90-deg, 45-deg, etc.)
Maybe one could check out the office supply for any plastic thing that could be used as...

Seems that only the Ryuma gauges are available now. :(

Is this the site you are talking about http://www.toolsfromjapan.com/store/index.php?main_page=index&cPath=356_357 ?

For construction/framing, building a deck, should be a yes
For trim or anything more accuracy is needed, I'll look used first

What's the usage do you have in your mind, for this bandsaw? What's the amp-draw of the motor? hp?


The book mentioned in earlier reply, and/or the Iturra manual, or some bandsaw book from your...

Not sure if it's too late.

Don't assume you must have replacement parts at this moment.
Bring some scrap wood with you, run some test cuts, see how it behaves.

Maybe all you need is a sharp...

You may want a scrub plane, made by LV/LN/Stanley

One can use a mouth-opened #5
Or one can find a beaten up wooden smoother/jack, put camber on the blade, and be good to go; these old wooden...

Watching the episode 4 of the folding stool https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qyvB2-1Fdrw

At about 28 minutes, while waiting for the glue, he talked about how fast a saw is and how thin/long/wide...

And he complained about his poor eyesight, had to use pencil to mark the gauge mark. Keep this in mind and now watch how fast he moves the chisel...

Yes, one can make that gauge with drywall screw (use the screw head as the cutter)

As far as the way he made the layout, I can only say that he's done it so many time, maybe he could even do it...

Looks like Mahogany, I think in the 1st episode of the traditional wooden folding stool, he mentioned the word Philippine .

The chisel could be regional.
If you ever get the chance to tour China, find the wholesale market for the locals, you might find handmade chisels (not more delicate, but that's a small...

In the episode 1 of the stool (folding stool) making, he expressed opinion about the western style marking gauge, thought that the one he was using was good and accurate enough.

The fact that...

Thanks for finding and posting the link

I ended up starting with the "episode 1": https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_gaAxWz3CbY

It is in Mandarin, northern China dialect.

Great work and the lathe part is, well, don't know what to say.

Thinking that I'll wait till you are done with the project and compile all the writings and photos together.

Nice!

Do you have the part 1 and 2 posted somewhere? This is a question not related to the upper piece, rather, as I am trying to find out how
the lower piece been put on the foot (feet)

If you check the early Fine woodworking, there was article talking about sharpening with 46-grit grinding wheel, and the speed
was not mentioned (so it's the high speed one)

Some reported that one of the Grizzly riser block could be made to fit.

Amazon put it on sale the Delta Riser Block in the past year, that seemed to cleared up the inventory.

The age of the saw may determine how powerful the 3/4 hp moter is, i.e., the newer 3/4-HP moters may not be as powerful as that from a 1/2-HP built in the '50s.

That said, if you really do it...

Thanks, this is invaluable! All the saw filing tutorials covered the technique, but rarely you read about the these consumables (same goes true for sand papers,
sharpening stones, etc.) and a new...

Or bring a Roy's book and ask him to sign?

Check out the store on the 2nd floor if you have any need in your mind

Would appreciate a link if possible

Try http://www.woodcraftbands.com/Pricing%20page.htm ?

That said, there's also the Olsen MVP blade, which is bi-metal, but thinner, might be better suited for the 14" saws?

See if there's a woodworking club in your area, or driving distance, and might be lot easier to have it done locally

If it has a lever under the blade (to control the blade), it's a 103; if it doesn't have the lever, it's the 102
Besides, the plane is wider in the middle than at the ends

I've a no name 103, and...
