  1. Lever-Action Boxes

    These boxes were made of lacewood (silky oak) with mitered joints and birch keys. The top is opened by pressing down on one end, which makes the other end flip up an inch. Was a great learning experience, and the path is detailed in my blog Yes, the miter joint is awful in the closeup (I would...
  2. Microscope positioner

    After buying microscope, I couldn't stomach the cost of a proper microscope mount. So I made one of beech. The counterweight has ~7lbs of metal hidden inside. It balances almost perfectly… a bit of luck
  3. Drill Press Handles - Turning Projects

    When I bought my Delta DP 350 Drill Press off Craigslist, the only thing wrong with the machine was that the knuckle head who I bought it from had removed and disposed of all but one of the handles (technically "feed levers") because "they got in the way". The old handles were composed of...
  4. Desk Clock

    I've had a design in mind for a desk clock for awhile now and finally made it. It's inspired by 1930's Art Deco. It's made out of Santa Maria and Maple. I drilled a through hole in order to push the clock movement out when it's time to change the battery or set the time. No need to pry it from...
  5. Boxes

    These Boxes are made from a variety of hard woods including, Beech, Mahogany, African Walnut and quarter sawn red Oak. They are finished with shellac and or home brewed Danish oil. The joinery varies from but joints reinforced with brads to box joints to mitre joints.
  6. Power Tools, Hardware and Accessories
    It's a sad day for me… I was happily joining some White Oak and needed to touch up the blade on my Type-4 #8. When I went to release the lever cap the bottom part of the lever itself broke. This is the section that the pin runs through. This plane was manufactured 1880 - 1890 from what I have...
  7. Hand Tools
    As all know, I like my Sargent planes… a lot. Anyway, just picked another Sargent 410C, my third 410 and second "C". This one has been well used and repaired more than once. What strikes me is the age of the repair to the lever cap. Looks like the repair itself, could be 80-100yr old but who...
  8. Hand Tools
    I was gifted a circa 1907 Stanley 18 low angle block plane. It's missing the eccentric lever or the mouth adjustment lever. I was wondering if someone could help me track down one of these levers or one like the one in this picture. Stanley has discontinued them as a part to buy on there...
  9. Designing Woodworking Projects
    Please forgive the discursive ramble. I tend to think better "out loud". So, I have a monster of a dining room table that has been in the family for generations. It's a solid wood table with a beautiful persimmon wood veneer. When it's polished up and not covered in all the random crap that...
  10. Blogs
    What was your first experience with handplanes? Mine was about 7 years ago, I still wasn't doing anything woodworking like, and we had moved to a new apartment where the bathroom door wouldn't close since it was too tall and would hit the jamb (well- actually we mounted one of those...
  11. Hand Tools
    I just bought a Stanley No. 2 at a flea market that's missing a lever cap. Anyone have one (or know someone who does) that would be willing to sell?
  12. Power Tools, Hardware and Accessories
    Hi Guys. I posted this yesterday in the "Finishing Forum" because I couldn't find "this" forum. I had a few suggestions, but nothing from anyone who owned one of these. I have a CRAFTSMAN Professional 13" Planer. Haven't used it much at all and it was almost new when I bought it. It's model #...
