My Dad died of cancer right in the beginning of January, my heart goes out to Walt I hope he can deal with it. It's rough. Hug all the people you love, you never know when you won't get the chance...

I bought a set of el cheapo harbor freight chisels ($7 for the whole set!), ground the 1/4" down into a triangle profile, heat treated it, and it's wonderful for cutting out tiny little narrow pin...
I always use shellac and wax on mine. Gunstock finish (TruOil?) probaby would be fine too.
Expediency is important. :) Good luck!
Sean: Frank Klausz appears to eyeball his, some people use a gauge that has the proper angle on it. You can make one pretty easily too. Lee Valley sells some nice stuff for marking dovetails.

Sean, you don't use a template or a kit. You eyeball it based on scribed lines. Seriously, it's easier than you think. A nice sharp dovetail saw, a chisel, and a mallet are all you need. Maybe a...
Ahhh you silly wood machinists. Frank Klausz can cut better looking dovetails than your router in his sleep and he hammers his together. Are you guys all sure the OP isn't just pulling our legs?
If you don't use it, I will take it off your hands. Gladly.
I think the key with the paint is to leave your planes lying about while painting. Definitely right under whatever you're painting,...
Go back and get the 5 1/2, they're rare in the wild and if it's cheap who cares about the blade, get a replacement. I love my #X 1/2 planes.
I have a transitional jointer I use as a scrub, it works great even with the stock iron. When flattening the bottom I had to take so much off that the mouth was huge so I ground a camber on the iron...
I built a 'real' workbench and the only thing that goes on it is what I'm working on and the tools for that project. If you have junk lying on the bench you need to build a place to put all your...
I'm guessing you guys are power tool users. Try hand planing a table top on that 3/4 sheet of plywood laid across sawhorses and you'll see why a workbench is essential for a handtool guy. Nothing...
Don't buy the slickplane, I think grizzly sells it, among others. The mouth .. well it doesn't really have one, it's just a blade with a big gap in front of it and it produces some terrible tear out...
Sorry Jim, you can't be a Galoot if you actually finish projects. You'll give the rest of us a bad name. Especially if you pull it off this fast, this is terrible. I hope my wife doesn't come in...
Yes, and try angling it some. Mine tends to chatter less when I do that.
You must be lucky to work for a company that can produce products and instantly ship them to the customer with no lead time if you're surprised by this. I'm sure goods sold during 2009 were produced...
If you find the bottom of your dados not smooth enough, one of these will correct any deficiencies in your dado stack.

I'm with Matt. And if the original poster has posted this on various forums, then I'd venture to guess he's one of those people who will not hesitate to vilify someone for making an honest and...
Something like this:

Although I'd probably use a stanley 45, I can't afford one of those. :)

I agree with Adam on the bandsaw. A buddy of mine put a flea in my ear about using a bandsaw instead of a tablesaw in the shop and after a year of thinking about it I sold my table saw and bought a...
Yeah don't take my statement to mean that anyone who does it entirely with handtools is engaging in some sort of non-useful enterprise. I admit a bit of jealousy for people who can do that. It's...
There's a point beyond which doing it by hand is just deliberate masochistic oddness (at least for me it is). I can s4s by hand and do when I'm in the mood, but I have a huge Grizzly jointer for...
Hmmm...
$57 for the plane
$75 for blade and chipbreaker
$25 for a new tote.
No guarantee the sole is flat... :rolleyes:
How much is that Veritas jointer again?
You're out 95, it doesn't have a blade, just a chipbreaker. :\
