  1. Radiator Cover

    Our house has radiant heat from big cast-iron hot-water radiators. The heating is lovely, but they're kinda ugly. I built this cover for the radiator in our dining room, to give us a little sideboard. Body is ash, top is ash, walnut and mahogony. The whole thing is finished with several...
  2. Groove Plow Plane - for me

    This is the prototype I started for the 2021 plane swap - and finished! I don't know about any of you, but rarely does a prototype ever get completed in my hands. Unlike the one for the swap, this one has 'good enough' in almost every part, like spattered paint. All the parts that need to...
  3. Before & After for plow plane lovers

    A fellow lumberjock commented on the feel of an antique tool in your hand. He mentioned that the only thing better is a hand-made tool, and I agree wholeheartedly. Here's a rusty old No.45 that I dumped in the electrolysis tank for a few days. The fence required a few passes with another...
  4. Cherry Bedframe

    This is the matching Bedframe that goes with my son's bedroom furniture in his first apartment. I posted the nightstand and dresser here: http://lumberjocks.com/projects/145322 The frame is solid cherry from some beautiful figured boards I found. The headboard is cherry with veneered panels...
  5. New handles for push plow

    The handles on this push plow were rotten so I made new ones from fir that was in my lumber pile. They are 50×1.25×2. I made them like the 1898 Planet Jr push hoe handles, which align the pushing force more directly with the handles. You can see the original 1898 catalog here...

    Hello everyone on lumberjocks. I'd like to plow simple grooves for drawer bottoms, but I don't want to use an electric router. I like using hand tools. I have a Stanley 45, but for some reason it is not great for this task. I'd like to know if anyone would like to trade me for a record 43 plow...
  7. Hand Tools
    Last night I was cutting a groove on the edge of a narrow board-18"L 1-1/2"W 3/4"T, and had some trouble with holding such that I could use the plow plane well. I ended up doing what you see in the picture below-a long scrap held behind the piece with holdfasts, then another scrap against dogs...

    Planes, Planes, Planes After a long week at work, I decided it was time to start the process of restoring my bench planes. I have been collecting them for a while with the intent of getting a good set of operational hand planes. I am hoping I will get a good set of usable planes at a...

    Ridiculous Tool Gloat Last month I was chatting with a guy who ran a used tool shop near me and the conversation drifted to talking about planes. He lamented the fact that he had trouble selling the planes he purchased and I gave him a quick lesson on how to figure the value of an average plane...

  13. Hand Tools
    I was able to score this Wards Master No. 45 on the bay recently for $80. The plane is the exact same as a Stanley No. 45 - you can even see where they ground off the "Stanley" name on the hoop! As far as I can tell, the only parts I'm missing are cutters #10, 11, 15, 23, and 24. I imagine...
