I did this with mine about 2-years ago, used float glass and the stone is still useable.

Kevin,
Sometimes the shipments do take some time to arrive but as others have stated, Stu is an honorable man, he will make good. So be patient.

This past weekend I took delivery of a vintage backsaw, a 1900 era Diston No. 4 I ordered from Pete Tarin (Vintage Saws and a fellow forum member). Pete rehabbed the saw to my specifications and I...

Osvaldo,

Exactly as Derek said, when I grab this plane I must be very cognizant of the the blade or "ouch." I do occasionally use it on tenons but other choices abound for this. I will take...

I'm wondering if the "blue tape" trick would be useful in helping to minimize cross grain chip out?

The saw is pretty short for that kind of work, very short stroke.

Derek,
Thanks for posting this video-made my evening! ;^)

For what its worth I think Adria's demise, at least in part, was due to a lack service and support. You had to send your saw to someone else if you wanted it professional sharpened or repaired-not a...

Plus one on what Andrew said; the last two years they have brought much less inventory with them than previous events I had attended.

Hi Wes,

I've attended a few; pricing is the same regardless of event or ordering directly; however, as Frederick pointed out, if they do not have what you want at the event - if you order there -...

Malcolm,
Thanks for clarifying; I had been under the impression of it the reverse i.e. that it was easy to starve an epoxy joint with too much clamping pressure - not sure where I even heard that.

16 year old Lagavulin? That sounds good with or without Burl Ives!

Double ditto on Hack's book-beautiful!

I took Brian's advice and purchased the Tsunesaburo; it is not cheap and you do have to prep/fit the blade but it is a very nice plane and I am very happy with it; however, I admit to being a bit...

Thanks all for the ideas on how to best bring the stone into service again. I like the idea of glueing it to a piece of teak (also considering bamboo) or float glass utilizing polyurethane glue. If...

Wondering if anyone has insight into this; I have 2 Sigma Power Ceramic 6K stones (1 with a wooden base & 1 without). I grabbed the 6k stone without a base a couple of days ago to do some honing and...

Patrick, mine took about 3-weeks; the cutters arrived about a week ahead of the plane.

Bill,
Marvin Warner has a great reputation and does terrific work, he has done a great job several saws that I have sent him (and he is reasonably priced), you might give him a try:...

The LN is my 'go to general' Dove Tail saw and have a .015 plate Dovetail saw for finer work.

+1 on Paul's advice/

I seem to be moving in a different direction Stanley; reverse entropy if you will (I have maxed out my sideways entropic capacity [or at least my wife thinks as much]).

Hey Keith, do you have contact info for Bob Scott?

Wonderful! Thanks for the link David!

Just an aside Lee, but I really like your avatar!

I am a little late on this thread but agree with Karl based on my experience. I just made a set for an existing bench (backward engineered) and mine ended up 7.25" in length. On my bench, with the...
