Being a Lie Nielsen it was pretty sharp right out of the box, so I made a pass or two. I like the fell of it, but like many mentioned it is a 2 or 3 finger grip.
I will sharpen it up better...

I never thought I would use the word cute to describe a tool, but I cannot think of a better word.....
Thanks for all the inputs.... I already have a very nice circa 1900 Disston D-100 crosscut saw, so that is part of the reason for repurposing this one. I think it is around 7 TPI, so I would not...
I have a Disston D-8 filed cross cut and I really need a rip saw. The quality of the Disston is higher than what I could buy to day with out paying out the nose....
I have not sharpened my own...
Any bronze is out of stock....
Got an email from Lie Neilsen. Bronze planes are out of stock due to manufacturing issue. I have to wait 4-6 weeks for my #2.
And while I was at it went ahead and ordered a router plane...
Stan thanks for the advice. I live in Colorado do moisture is not a problem. I will have to think about the grit issue.

I think is is about 25 degrees. Built the cabinet and then built the till to fit
Drill bits...

I plan to leave the cabinet open. I like seeing the planes... I think they are decorative them selves.... I screwed the shelf, just as a matter of convenience. If it were for anything other...
Ken, I do have magnets behind the planes. I did use ceramic magnets instead of rare earth, but put 2 or three behind the big planes.....
Just finished the first of three tool cabinets. I still plan to build two smaller ones to flank this one to hold chisels and saws.
Notice I saved room for a #2 or #3

I see a lot of people that have #2's that do not use them. If anyone wants to part with one, let me know. I have small hands so I think it would work for me

The real logic is to get something that will follow slight undulations and still leave a finish ready surface; so shorter and narrower is the way to go, I think, but as you can see I am...
Reading the blog you mentioned has me thinking #2 now
This may put me over the top for the number 3, but the #2 is still appealing, but probably not as useful
I am thinking about getting a #2 or #3. I want to upgrade my planes and have some woodriver's and a old #7 bailey. All well tuned. I have a #4, #5, and #6 in Woodriver. I thought about getting a...
Drew, I am actually trying to sell my SawStop and downsize right now. I am selling in on the classifieds here and on craigslist. The problem with selling high end tools is you have to be very...
It is almost definitely the capacitor. If you have a safe way to reach the fan and give it a push start and it starts, you definitely have a bad cap.....
Kent,
The cuts will be simultaneous, just maybe not in the same point on the board. For the majority of the cut both the 10 in blade and the dado stack will be engaged.
The 10in blade will put...
I would not do it for a couple of reasons
1- Tools are dangerous enough without using them in ways they were not designed
2- You would end up with (potentially) weird forces torquing the wood due...
I am intrigued about what someone does with that much Teak.... And how much it cost. Teak can run $20/bd-ft time 6700 is $134,000.... Wow
There are about 35 cubic feet in a cubic meter and 12 board feet in a cubic foot. This equates to 420 bd ft per cubic meter. 16 cubic meters is over 6700 bd feet. That is a lot of teak.
The very center of the log is very prone to warp....
