I haven't got/seen/heard one of these but have seen them recommended by others I trust elsewhere.

Yes, the Multico's are still made although they were unavailable for a time and I know production transferred to a different part of the country so perhaps the design and company name were bought...
Thanks George, that's very helpful and has given me other useful internet links to Mack's work (and yours!). I am looking forward to seeing some of your toolmaker days creations - and perhaps musical...
George - was it Multico you're thinking of?

Message possibly mostly directed towards George Wilson, but all suggestions welcome.
I live in the UK but am attending a conference in Washington DC in early December and plan some R&R at the end...
The Lenox Woodmaster CT is a good alternative - less carbide so a bit less $ than the Trimaster. However narrowest blade is 27mm/1". This tensions well on my 24" Agazzani but not sure about an 18"...
Yes, I think you are confirming my anxieties.
I have seen these things for sale in craft outlets, Christmas gift stores etc., but haven't studied them in enough detail or taken measurements. They...
I thought I'd put my new Agazzani 24" Bandsaw with Laguna Driftmaster fence and Lennox Woodmaster blade to work resawing some Bubinga into 1/4" thick placemats for the table. The Bubinga slab is 2"...
Congratulations on the Agazzani B24 saw. Two weeks ago I went through the same process with a 1 year old Agazzani NR'A 600 which I believe is almost identical apart from the electrics. It's a great...
As Ben Abate said.
As a visitor from the UK and Felder owner, I called in at the Delaware showroom a few years ago when i happened to be in the area and the staff spent a good hour showing me...
Santa's been very good this year!
One shiny new Veritas Premium Block Plane.
One nice Mike Wenzloff hand made small tenon saw.
Couldn't make my mind up between a Mike Wenzloff dovetail saw and...
As workshops seem to be in a continual state of development, I'd strongly recommend NOT putting anything - wiring, pipework etc. - inside the insulated cavity. External trunking can be easily...
Thanks Doug. Three replies to one question! Very helpful replies - issues I hadn't considered as I was thinking about mounting the vise slightly further in (to the right) than yours to avoid a leg,...
Doug, Lovely work. I'm about to refurbish my 12 year old bench and, like you, have both the Tucker and Veritas twin-screw vises to replace my existing hardware. Mine won't look anything like as...

Hi,
I live in South Wales, UK. So we have lots of experience of wet as in Vancouver. My shop is heated on the house central heating system (fanned hot water radiator). The structure from inside...
Tormek wet grinder. Life is too short using waterstones alone with wider (plane) blades and the newer harder steels. I think they are best for honing rather than grinding back. After the Tormek, it's...
Space limitations have forced me to use combos for many years and for a one-man hobby shop I haven't found it a great hardship although a little more planning of projects is needed to minimize setup...
Keel,
In mine, the sliding post is square so it doesn't rotate in its square hole. The post has a series of holes drilled through. A brass pin just slides through a hole in the spindle, engages...
I've just posted a pic of a shaker style music stand I made a few years ago in this thread:

Perhaps something along these lines would...
Here's one I did a few years ago. The top isn't so elegant - primarily a frame and raised panel design. The stand itself is shaker inspired - I have made a couple of candle stands using a similar...
Yes Jay. I discovered the Klingspor Sandflex blocks after they were recommended to me by Lie Nielsen for removing rust spots on their iron bodied planes. It does that well but also works great on...

Thanks for an excellent site.
