  0 Thread: Stanley #8 Blades & Tote Question
Post: RE: Stanley #8 Blades & Tote Question
I don't have a huge collection of planes, unlike some people.  More than I need, that's for sure.  I have never seen a chip breaker that lost its spring, but I have seen one that was ground crooked wh...

Post: RE: Stanley #8 Blades & Tote Question
I really want to try a Lake Erie Toolworks blade. But if you're looking for cheap, that ain't it. And they don't sell chipbreakers. I have avoided Hock blades because of the looks. Which is weird, I ...

Post: Melbourne Tool Company
Fine Woodworking sent me a promotional email about this company.  Since Rob Lee had a fit about the Katz-Moses router plane, I'm pretty sure his reaction to these planes isn't going to be positive. h...

MJ wanted a picture of one. From ebay, it looks just like a regular screw, but the threads are smaller.  I suppose for the purposes of him finding one, it would be more helpful to have the head diamet...

I remember seeing castings at Delta just sitting outside.  They get cleaned up later, no reason to fight the rust. Melancholy thought.

Post: RE: Offset venting for replacement kitchen fan?
The way I'm interpreting those studs, you may end up cutting into the perpendicular adjoining wall cavity.  Then it becomes a real mess. I think it makes sense to get a sheet metal mechanic to modify ...

What makes a saw not-resharpenable?  I just heard of a saw where the maker intends for you to replace the blade fairly regularly. I have some cheap crosscut saws that seem to work really well. Probab...

Post: Liberty Bell Chipbreaker screw
Seems like they come up on ebay occasionally, probably because people part out the planes after they break the adjuster.  Somehow the adjuster on my 135 is fine, but the screw is missing. A regular...

I have 3 Millers Falls that tablesaw Tom ground.  Beautifully done.  I got the first one for shooting, and then couldn't stop buying more.

Maybe my reading comprehension wasn't good when reading your post, so sorry for that. I would frame in a header and a box in the studs so the first distance from the vent could go diagonally. Fixin...

Those are beautiful handles. If birdseye fell out of favor, the lumber suppliers haven't noticed.

Their website looks like they have been fully assimilated by the whole river table/slab craze.  I just want some plain 8/4 maple.

My oneida cyclone is older by a few years.  It came with an angle iron bracket.  I always thought it was funny there was no bracing, it's just right angles.  It works though.
