The LN 102, holster and Henry Eckert adjuster would get my vote for a thoughtful impressive gift. If he wears an apron delete the holster.

Tools For Working Wood makes a little bitty drawknife. For spoon carving. Made in Brooklyn, NY. It’s very nice. Also, I just had to have Lee Valleys little squirrel tail plane. They’re both cute and...
Jamestown distributors sells boat stuff. They have a product called I think Thixo. Epoxy in a caulking gun tube. Nozzle mixes part a and b. It’s thickened. About $18.00 a tube. Be aware the tube is...
Got the Bosch corded. No complaints. I’m heavily invested in hitachi batteries so I’m looking at the Metabo. Feels big in the hand but still tempting. Sometimes it’s the only tool for some jobs.
I needed to bend a load of ribs for a skin on frame (SOF) canoe. Wallpaper steamer from Craigslist worked fine...cheaply. I’ll try the softener next time. It’s strangely satisfying.
The sawmakers rasp is really a kayak paddle makers rasp and it works great. I like it a lot.
ive had one for years. it doesn't pretend to be a fine woodworking tool. it is what it is...carpenters tool.
it sounds like its a cute plane you can't actually hold?
I make kayaks and row boats in my half of the garage. why would I bury my spokeshave in a box when I can put it in a wall hung cabinet. why hunt for a mallot that hangs from the ceiling? i'll fight...
well 94 inches and 7'9'' depending on how you squint might be legal. cant see the rig but the mast step is right on. still says opti to me.
if you lived near Woodbury NJ I'd leave a nice phone company brace for you on the rainbarrell outside my garage. free.
drilled hole and used bosch saber saw, cleaned up with the Gramercy boatbuilders....er...sawmakers rasp. cutting the notchs for stringers, gunwhales, keel etc is also tedious. the finished boat is...
I just finished a Kudzucraft Shortshot SOF kayak. cutting those frames without my bandsaw would have been murder.
I wonder about a German tool company that makes tools in Germany not India making junk...for over 100 years. usually junk puts you out of business way before 100 years. i'm stumped but then I don't...
Glenside is almost impossible to get to from south jersey but since I have to be in Abington anyway, is there any point in stopping at that antique tool place near the train station in glenside? I...
I think the 45 and 50 advice is very bad and appears way too often. mine is a boat anchor. you want to cut a groove or putz with a tool.
I think the Brits call it a priest. Administers the last rights.
Well I guess that's the nub. The creator made a saw and people touted it as the second coming. As if it would benefit the user in a big way. And thats the rub. If you have to chop you use the $15.00...
I've asked that question before. if you have to chop the waste what does it matter what fret/coping saw you use. so far no one says they just saw. I wont go into price...you wouldn't believe what my...
I'm making a new trout net. I ripped three strips of ash, steamed with my wallpaper steamer and bent around a jig. A guy from Wisconsin who makes beautiful nets says he glues up with urethane. So far...
I have resawing covered on my 1986 metal and wood delta 14 inch bandsaw. But, I often need smaller blades like now when I'm making a trout fishing net. Whose blades excel in the smaller sizes? Thanks
Optimist Pram?
Whadya say we put a fork in this Paul Sellers thing. you like him, you hate him. It's getting old as my friends from the south would say.
Mine work fine. After I glued leather on and really mauled them with my angle grinder. To be fair I think my table top is too thick but roughening them with sandpaper won't do the job. I set them...
