A little bit of a google search turned up the fact that it was a video, not an article. There were some blog posts though. If you want plans, go here. An article is here. Good luck!

:eek:Wow. I just came here on a lark tonight, been out of woodworking for a while for many reasons not of my choosing, and what do I see, my name at the top of the page. Amazing! After all this...

My father has a set of Stanley 750's that he has accumulated over the past while. I have used them and they are nice to hold and keep an edge really well. I bought myself the Lie-Nielsen chisels...

Warren,

If it is getting the tennons to fit that is the problem, a tenon router may help.
You can also do it with an equally dimensioned piece of wood and a Stanley 71 or Veritas router plane....

Warren,

I have read quite a bit about wedged joints recently, though I can't remember exactly where. It was wither in Popular Woodworking, or more likely in a back issue of Wooworking Magazine. ...

I had just puchased the 1000, 4000, and 8000 grit Norton stones when I read an article in Woodworking Magazine by Chris Schwartz. He talked about people sharpening more than needed and recommended...

My advice is, don't waste your money. There are a lot of used saws out there if you know where to look that will be far superior to that one. Check out the Old Woodworking Machines site and its...

Derek,

You can add Chris Schwartz and David Charlesworth to the list of talented and experienced people who go strait from a 1200/2000 grit stone to the polishing stone. I just bought a 2000,...

The company is B&A manufacturing company.

My problem is that there are almost no lead screw threads left. I talked to company in Florida that repairs bits. They said that if the bit has a shaft of 1/8" or greater, they can replace the lead...

Luke,

If you want to go the jigsaw route, the bosch is a sure bet. I've used one for years and it is practically bullet proof. As to bandsaws, the saying that they "don't make 'em like they used...

Thanks to Bill & to Harry. These are Craftsman bits, made by the C E Jennings company, not the Jennings that Stanley bought and that lends its name to the Jennings pattern. They are solid center...

I just picked up some auger bits and the 4/16 bit is pretty messed up. The lead screw is mostly gone. I can figure out how to fix the spurs and sharpen the rest, but is there anyway to fix the lead...

This thread is getting a lot more mileage than I thought it would. I finally decided to go with the Ray Iles chisel. It just came yesterday and I haven't had a chance to use it yet, but it looks...

Greg,

I own a Lie Nielsen dovetail saw. It is a great saw. I've used other saws that were poorly sharpened and they make a simple task very difficult. A well tuned saw, as others here will tell...

Gary,

I have often wanted the same thing, and haven't been able to find any either. That left me with the make your own option as well. If you decide to go that route, here is the how to on...

Mike,

The chisel bent right where it tapers before meeting the ferrule. The tang then pulled out of the handle as I was levering out some waste. In all fairness, it wasn't the sorby sash...

I am going to be attending a class to build a shaker clock using nothing but hand tools, and I need to get a mortise chisel. Nice used ones are hard to come by and nearly as much as new ones. I...
