  1. Ash Hand Plane

    This is my first attempt at making a wooden hand plane. It isnt anything fancy by any means! i made this one kind of basic just so that i could see if i understood the process of making wooden hand planes. i have a bunch of 8/4 ash so i cut out a blank and milled it up! the plane iron is from...
  2. Stanley 45 Iron Boxes

    So lots of small projects over the past month or two. Here is a set of storage boxes for my Stanley 45 Irons. I desperately needed it after cleaning an sharpening them. Here is a link to my blog on this build. Many thanks to the Stanley #45 - 7 forms of fun in 1! Forum, Plane Restorations #1...

  4. Grinding jig for butchering chisels and irons

    I got a group of planes with horribly sharpened irons a while back and would like to finally use them. So I needed a grinding jig for my bench grinder so it doesn't take forever on my coarse diamond stone getting the primary bevel done. Not much too it really. Just threw it together. Instead of...
  5. A 'heritage' box for my cousin

    This is big enough for most documents & photograph albums - memorabilia of sentimental / historical value - Clutter? Main structure is oak; mostly from ex school laboratory workbenches (you can see two filled screwholes on the inside!) and the lid panel in zebrano that retains its sapwood...
  6. My First Cutting Board

    I hope you guys and gals can tolerate another cutting board project this Christmas season! This is my first cutting board. It is made from cherry, walnut and white oak. I bought the wood rough sawn from a local sawyer and jointed it and planed it myself. I really bought the cherry for...
  7. World's Smallest Vase

    I was goofing off on the lathe today, and with nothing more to turn than a few small pieces of redwood I popped this thing out. I have a desire to make a full size hollow form sometime, so this was a bit of practice… I custom ground a tool just to hollow this bad boy out. I would say the...
  8. Hand Tools
    I have a really cheap hand plane that "sorta" works for me…...sometimes. It sez "made in USA" but there is no other ID, but it is painted red, has a stamped steel frog and has an iron that sez "Tryon's"...... Does this ring a bell with anyone? It works really well for me if I am just planeing...

    Hey, what's your favorite finishing (water) stone when you're sharpening plane irons and chisels? No strop talk here, please; I'm trying to decide on an 8000 (or up) final stone. King? Shapton, etc? Brand, grit and why you like it will help me decide Thanks !
  11. Blogs
    Found a way I like to cut straight-end, non-through rip and crosscuts in plywood This is probably a common technique, with a name, but it only occurred to me today. I gave it a shot, and it worked out really well. I'm going to use it from now on for non-through cuts, and by that, I mean rips...

    Where no flowers grow during winter.. Crossing that invisible line from using traditional handtools to using powertools was a hard stepp for me. Growing up, my grandfather, my dad and uncels would get strikt if they ever saw sandpaper on the workbench vile carving. Bottom stamping or...
  13. Focus on the Workspace
    I learned a new game last night… As I was cleaning up woodchips from the floor of my shop, my dog taught me that it is actually a game. I try to clean up, he tries to bite the vacuum hose nozle. I really have no idea of the rules, but I think I lost. Unless you account for the # of smiles...
  14. Power Tools, Hardware and Accessories
    I was wondering if anyone had recommendations on the best setup to use for all around sharpening of most things in my shop (eg. chisels, turning tools, plane irons, etc.)? I've used different stones with a variety of lubricants but am trying to figure out the best have trouble with getting...
  15. Marketplace Classifieds
    I am selling tools that belonged to a friend. His wife asked me to find good homes for them. I will show pictures, describe the tools. If something interest you I'll post or send pictures to your personal e-mail. There is a lot here. Old firmer chisels. All in nice condition. The ones...
  16. Power Tools, Hardware and Accessories
    Has anyone bought the new stanley no 4 smooth plane. I tried it out at my local Richmond area Woodcraft. My first impression is the design is very veritas esque. Innovation being paramount and tradition taking a backseat. When i picked up the no 4 i noticed the balance wasn't nearly as good as...
