>>I'm pretty sure there is no way to make a non fixed end as accurate as a fixed end
You're absolutely right (although non-fixed ends can be more accurate than you might think). You're also...
One thing to be aware of is that the HOOK on the end is FIXED. Unlike a normal tape, it does NOT slide in/out to compensate for inside/outside measurements. Unless you explicitly subtract the...
One empirical observation is worth 10,000 theories:
I suggest everyone in this forum should own an inexpensive $20 10x jeweler's loupe. With it, you can see EXACTLY what's going on with your own...
If you've ever seen David Charlesworth's sharpening videos, you'll notice that he takes a moment to increase the honing angle slightly between stones. This saves time removing metal because the next...
I've talked directly to Deneb, and Tom LN, about how the rationale for the chisel plane being be a better tool in ductile iron vs Bronze (for multiple reasons, not just bronze staining). They...
The bronze bench and block planes are great, but I dislike bronze joinery planes. They always leave bronze oxide marks that need to be cleaned up separately, and that's needless hassle.
Bench...
When I was new to woodworking, I was quite surprised by the precision of hammer taps. As a noob, a plane hammer seemed so needlessly unrefined to me. I didn't like the idea of hitting my beautiful,...
David,
I appreciate you taking the time to answer my questions.
This is very interesting, and it seems like it must be a very ancient technique.
As it happens, I can fit my rebate block...
Hi David.
I must say again that I appreciate the systematic, careful, and disciplined approach you bring to each step in any given process.
Your chisel sharpening video was a game-changer for...
ROTFL: I love it! An idiomatic expression used to critique the use of another idiomatic expression, then misunderstood in the process! You couldn't make this stuff up!
And all in a positive...
Another funny term related to zombie threads is "Necropost"
Necropost: Pronunciation: /ˌnekrəˈpōst
(Verb)
The act of posting to zombie thread.
(Noun)
The post which resurrects the zombie...
I couldn't help but notice this tool in the background of David Charlesworth's shop in the DVD "The Secret Mitre Dovetail".
It looks like it might be a nice Iron implementation of the 102. This...
The link above does not work, but I think it may be this product here: ...
>> Why did this string become active after a year since a previous post.
Ah yes, the 'necro-post'.
I had been benefiting from the wisdom that everyone had shared as I researched these two...
Of course you did. Just... awesome. A few things.
1.
"Lie-Nielsen #102.9 Medium-Angle Block Plane".
Since you have lowered the effective pitch of the blade bed, I believe you can't call it a...
I've got BOTH a Veritas Apron Plane and a Bronze Lie Nielsen 102 sitting in front of me.
Here's what I notice:
1.
The OP is right. With a never-used Apron plane, there is 10mm of motion in the...
Yep! Both are great companies. We're all very lucky to have more than one company with world class customer service competing for our attention.
As to the occasional sense of entitlement that I...
At the Chicago hand tool event a few weeks back, they said that the plow is literally just weeks away. Please don't ask me how many, I don't know, and neither do they. They've been focusing heavily...
This is very helpful. Thank you Justin.
Do the machine adapters and hose adapters have a smaller diameter than a pipe cut-off? Otherwise, the only difference would be (IIRC) that the...
Thanks for the Lee Valley tip. I didn't think to buy 6" hose from them. It's the only thing they have in 6".
Question: Do you run 6" flex to most/all of your machines?
I have a Laguna...
Expensive indeed. Perfect example: not only do you need to buy a blast gate for $45 instead of $20, but you need 2x $9 clamps and now, a $29 hose adapter. So, instead of $20, it's ~ $90. Plus...
That's very Interesting. So not only was it a PITA, but it was a pain EVEN WITHOUT having the rolled edge! That's not at all what I was expecting to hear. I really appreciate the feedback!

Question:
Does anyone know whether the "rolled-end" of a 6" Nordfab duct can be forced onto 6" flexible hose?
I know Nordfab makes a special adapter for connecting the rolled-end to flexible...
Thanks Dave. Well described. I totally get it.
In my case I'll end up with a fold-down outfeed irrespective of which saw I buy. The larger ICS table is attractive in that respect, because it...
So it turns out Dave Malickly is right, and the web site is right. The tech on the phone gave me bad info.
I drove out to a dealer today and measured it myself.
So that means the ICS has an...
