Yet another vote for the Gramercy HF's from TFWW. Great performers at a great price.
Well, my experience was completely different. My flattening stone was (and still is) flat and it works very well. From my experience, I would reccomend it without hessitation.
Depending on where...
I really like mine. Never had one or really thought about it until I read Chris's article. Then I had to make one and boy it sure works nice, just as advertised (I too used the height CS gave and...
Yep, and I was one of those posters!! How things have changed. I traded in my LNs and am now the proud owner of apair of Wenzloff & Sons saws.
And just to depart from thinking at the time, one...
Like Jim, I too went with a 6 piece set from Joel at TFWW. I have Marples Blue Chips (older set) Nootendaghects (sp??) and a bunch ofolder (read good steel) odds-n-ends (bucks, witherby's, etc) but...
Hey Harry, what is that narrow inlcined becnh looking item and what is it used for ??
TIA.
I had both LN saws and like them very much. I decided after some time that I really wanted some saws that I could have a personal touch with it's maker so ordered up 2 MW saws. I emailed back and...
Danny, you can't go wrong with LV or buying it from them. I have never dealt with a more customer oriented company or honorable one either.
While you might find a used one, I wouldn't expect to...
I too picked up one of these for a good price (big ole sucker) but have the same problem. I just cannot see how to use it without distroying its jaws.
TIA
Similar to Steve, I've been waiting since April and Mike tells me that mine are also either on their way or soon will be.
I'm like a 6 year old on Christmas eve, I just can hardly stand it. I...
I haven't seen either of the 2 videos posted (yet) but can relay my own experiences. I had been doing it the drill out and then pare to size technique but never really got a nice even size, clean...
Craftstudio customer service, but it's good to know and I will look at buying from them in the future.
As to the 4-1/2, I love mine, until I got my LV LAS and LAJ, it was by far my most favored...
jewelery box there Brian. I like the simple lines but has an elegant feel to it.
Let us know how the auction turns out.

Having been down this road, I am happy where I am. I have the following.
Slow speed wet wheel grinder (GMC from Lowes and a Tradesman also from Lowes). Does the job, restores or puts a new edge...
Justin, what a nice offer. I recently got quite a few saws (stealth gloat, 12 Disstons for $10) and I know some of those need some erious help AND would be worth the effort.
I will go through...
I think a bench like this does indeed have some value and usefulness. As your main bench, no way, but there are many times when one just needs a stable, non flexing structure to do some WW and the...
Well, there is no 'O' in front of the '2', just 'No' on the left of the knob and '2' on the right. In fact, I'm not even sure where the knob and tote are for this guy, I'll have to dig around some...
Clint, I have a #2 sized metal plane, Stanley style but have been unable to determine who made it.
Do you know where I can get more detailed information on Ohio planes or any other old...
I brought mine in today and just took a couple of pics for those who have not seen this mod done by LN. When I did mine, it was custom done by LN well after I bought my plane, I did not know there...
"He said they ran one batch with the cloverleaf knickers a while back and thinks it will be a pretty valuable little tool"
hmmmm, mine are the cloverleaf, I just figured that's how they did them...
Before I get off onto my tangent, You SUck !!, that's a real nice plane there, I LOVE Bubinga !!
Now, can you or someone else tell me what the screw button just in front of the throat is for??
...
and while you are at it, have them add on nickers. That gives you much more flexibility. They do not advertise it, but if you call in the order and ask them, they will add a nicker to eache side.
...
that you might want to have done is to have them add on nickers on each side. This will allow you to more accurately add depth to a rabbet or wide dado.
When I did mine, it was $30 that included...
Joel made, you just can't hope for better. I have a set of the standard length ones and I really like them. I have smaller hands, but have found these to be quite comfortable in my hands.
And...
