  1. New Workbench Top for Rolling Shop Cabinet

    I have never had a proper solid work bench with solid vices. I have been using my B&D workmate for many years. My shop is very small and everything needs to be on wheels so that it can be rolled into place and out of the way when I am finished with it. I decided to convert my rolling shop...
  2. Wood Christmas ornaments

    Just a couple of wooden ornaments I turned. First one is solid black walnut. Danish oil and Hut friction polish. Second one is a blank I made from black walnut, mahogany, and bloodwood. Danish oil and CA coated. Last two are different views of the same piece. Maple burl. I tried a...
  3. Restored Planes

    Well, this past week I wanted to do something different in my wood shop. So I decided to tackle tuning up my planes. I have been searching and acquiring reasonably priced and decent shape planes at various places over the last 2 years. I tuned each plane as I acquired them to do a very good...
  4. Hand Tools
    I recently bought a vintage Stanley Bailey No. 4 (Type 19 I think, I am new these tools) and after lapping sole and frog surface and putting it back together I found that the iron is skewed and I have to put the lateral adjustment lever almost completely to the right to get even shavings...

    A sunday afternoons pick for the shop! Hey friends, hope all is well out there. For anyone that enjoys my type of woodwork and shop I thought that I would have a separate blog series for when I am not actually working on projects but finding cool picks, auction purchases or just adding to the...

I am currently woking on building a treadle lathe and have been busy dimensioning all the components for the project. The tools I am currently using are the Stanley Sweetheart #4, Stanley #62 low angle...

    Introduction and Luck at an Antique Store Long time lurker, first time poster here. A little over a year ago I enlisted the help of my brother in-law to make a jewelry box for my daughter. I have been a tinkerer for a long time but that was my first serious wood working project. I got bit by...

    The wonderful madness of Stanley handplanes Ahh…... the sweet sounds of thin shavings tearing in perfect rhythm…...followed by more shavings….lol. What is it that we love about these old Stanley planes? Here is just a wonderful foursome I was lucky enough to obtain in the last few months via...
  10. Hand Tools
    I posted a month or so ago asking about good beginner hand planes on a budget. Nearly everyone who replied said to look for older Stanley planes, specifically #4 and/or #5's. So, I looked around at garage sales, the flea market, and craigslist and this is what I found. The #4 and the little...
  11. Hand Tools
    Hi everybody, I'm just trying to get started with some woodworking and I've found some old Stanley Bailey planes at antique stores with the usual antique "patina" included. I would like to use them and they need to be cleaned of rust. I've seen where some use citric acid and some use...
