Hi Jake, all the makers you listed make fine saws indeed. I can highly recommend Bad Axe, I recently purchased the 16" saw sharpened hybrid. Absolutely love it, Mark does a fine job. I have a couple...

I recently purchased Capt America, Bad Axe 16", had it two weeks, haven't reached for any other saw yet. Worth the wait, worth the money.

Thanks for the reply Jim. Hadn't tried it yet, still waiting for the plane to arrive, I have a Hock blade and chip breaker and was curious (just in case), I'll let you know.

Does anyone know if the Hock blade and chip breaker will fit in the Woodriver plane? TIA. Rick

Just bought some of this for a project. Paid $43 per sheet vs $44 for the birch plywood. A couple of observations. 1) this stuff smells like s**t - I don't know if it is the resin adhesive they use...

Hi Rick, I once shared your pain :), and I am not an expert, but I am getting better. First and foremost, be sure your tool is sharp, I know that sounds like advise you have heard before, but it...

Shawn, I have been happy with my LN saw and have had the opportunity to use a couple of those mentioned in your post. Quite frankly, I think it is what you like, and I also found out it's not the saw...

While we are mentioning web sites, don't forget to add Jim Bode. I have dealt with him, and Patrick Leach, and both were a pleasure to deal with. I'm not sure about all this "chosen" business...

Agree with Graham, I bought two of these after I broke the cast iron versions, outstanding value.

Tyler, you got it right, ANYTHING jazz, I say maybe 80%, but there still is the 20 % and it is SRV, Allman Bros. Skynard, Janis, etc. I have XM radio in the shop, worth every penny, and the tunes are...

My weekend started Friday with a day off and since it has rained here in west TN since Thursday, and hard, and has not let up yet, there will be no chasing the little white ball or mower riding this...

Thanks for the reply Jason

I have decided to build my own workbrench, we'll debate my decision later :) replacing an old Sjoberg, that has served me well. Now, the legs are 3" square, and the upper and lower trestles are 3...

I really like the new look, took me by surprise at first, thought I was in the wrong place.

William, would you mind emailing the link to me please, it looks like it was deleted. Odd as it may seem, I found this great community a few months back, because it was included in message on...

Dale, you can "bore us" anytime with your work :D Most excellent results. I showed my wife the earlier post and she said our "scrapper" daughter in Cincinnati would love one of those. Guess what,...

Very nice looking bookcase TJ, wonderful job, I too like the lamp and shade sitting next to it. Well done, Rick

Mark, really tough question only because somethings are easier to do than describe, but I will give my 2 cents,




This one is probably related to the tool you are using, and I suspect there...

Leaning more and more towards, or better said, sliding down the slope, to purchase either a LN 4 or 4 1/2. I understand that the high angle frog beds the blade at 50 degrees for wood with a hard to...

I agree with David and Jim to a point. I guess it depends on the tool, my TS, or planer, or jointer, BS, that's one thing, but sanders, etc, I think fall into the throw away catagory.

My 2 cents,...

Terry, excellent job, looks like a very functional piece, the tables will look nice with it, hurry up and get those done. :cool:

Larry, the bookcase is really nice. the moulding and the fluting really stand out, looking forward to seeing the "finished" piece. I just made a couple of cabinet's for the fabric shop my wife works...

Todd, I looked at the plans as if I was 12 yrs younger, and just getting started in WW/Furniture building. I would be totally lost. Then I looked at them with my skill and experience aquired over 12...

For your daughter, and the entire family, as well as the hospital staff, God will be at her side. Rick

Jim, I agree with the "sun tan" approach, and since shellac has no UV blockers I am aware of, it should continue to darken naturally. I built a bench some years ago, and wanting to get the darker...
