The rest of the tree is stacked in my garage. The pieces I'm using were the "waste" and headed for the firewood pile. I plan on using some dry black walnut firewood for the legs. I turned some...

I took down an English Walnut over at my sisters house a couple weeks ago. The last 2 harsh winters we had in '13 and '14 killed it, and it had started dropping large branches anytime we had a...

Thanks for all the great replies! I ended up grinding it on my water stone freehand until the bevel was gone from the other side. The primary bevel was a very shallow angle so I figure it was...

I recently purchased a Crown Tools right hand marking knife used off of eBay. It looks like it someone tried sharpening it with an electric kitchen knife sharpener. Isn't it supposed to be flat on...

Thanks for all of your help identifying my plane. It came in pretty handy this morning. This cutting board blank came out of the clamps a little twisted, so I used it to flatten one side so I can...

I tried cleaning up the adjuster but I can't make out any dates on that yet. The plane iron is stamped "STANLEY PAT. AP'L 19,92" and "L. BAILEY'S PATENT DEC 24 1867" is stamped on the cap iron. The...

I've been asking for a set of hand planes for Christmas - preferably old Stanley's. My girlfriend gave this to me early - so I could look it over and so she could return it if it was the wrong...

I found a section with no metal in it, and ran it through the planer tonight. I believe it's the very rare chestnut pine. :p

The house is located in Western New York, about 5 miles south of the Lake Ontario shoreline. There's also an old barn (needs to come down) with a lot of great hand-hewn timbers; which also leads me...

These used to be floor boards in an attic crawl space of an 1870's farm house (my sister's). I think it's some really great stuff - nice wide boards, some with live edges (possibly sawn on site from...

In the video, I had already squared 2 sides of that log using my sled jig. That one was small enough for me to deal with the whole thing on the band saw. I was actually sawing that one into...

Here's a link to the album I just created on Imgur: http://imgur.com/a/jl5wF#azr57Qs

Strange - if I click on Edit, then save my changes, I see the pictures again. Refresh the page and they're gone. Is there a mod who can assist, or should I delete this thread and try to start over?

And here are some results. 5/4 black walnut, from a 4' diameter monster I'm working on over at my sister's house:

Here is some 5/4 soft maple. I want to do my kitchen floors with it, but...

About a year ago, I saw some youtube videos of a guy making lumber on his band saw. It's been a dream of mine ever since. I built my own system, and I've been thrilled with the results.

I think I'll use it mostly for placing length stops. I used to have to make a long fence and then clamp a block to it for a stop. I tried to line it up with the fence; I could probably make some...

Over the summer, my neighbor across the street was throwing these cabinets in the trash. But they looked like treasure to me. :) So I scooped them up and made them into a super deluxe radial arm...

How big of a hole do you think? Only thing is, the pith is off-center in this piece. But maybe I could get a hardwood dowel that looks similar to put back in the hole once it's dry, or try to stain...

I was out in my woods gathering some firewood to burn next year. Got to the base of this tree, and I couldn't bear to cut any more of it - just too cool looking. Plus the rounds were almost 3'...

I feel your pain.

I saved this log from a massive ash tree that came down at my neighbor's house. Cleaned up the tops for firewood, and kept this log, and a log of black locust, from...

That thing is sweet!! Good luck on the refurb. Old Woodworking Machines http://owwm.com [EDIT: guess it's vintagemachinery now?] was a good resource for me. Looks like a rare bird, but I'm sure...

Most reviews I've seen of chop saws and SCMS's usually knock their accuracy in a bevel or compound setup. These old cast iron RAS's do not suffer from this. I use all sorts of sacrificial fences...

That looks to be roughly the size of the table on my RAS. I think the total footprint is roughly 36" wide by 30" deep.

Another reason to choose an old DeWalt RAS! I have my grandfather's 1959 MBF - thing is built like a tank.

I just built a folding sawbuck from 2x4's, and used a lot of half-lap joinery on it, so...
