Thanks for all the replies.

Wondering if someone can help me please. Looking for the traditional profile of the inside edge of the stiles and rails of a raised panel cabinet door? I suppose I can do anything from a simple roundover to an ogee. But is there a traditional one and is there a hand plane to make it? I have...

I do pray that this week finds David improving and knowing that many are with him in thought and prayer.

Interesting thread, I've learned quite a bit from reading all the responses. Please excuse a beginner from across "the pond" responding. And it seems that the mention of Chris Schwartz has caused some amount of hairs to rise on the back of necks. In watching his DVD "Course, Medium, and...

Thanks for the video Phil. Got a birthday coming in a few months. Maybe if I'm a good boy ..............

Was wondering if someone would guess he is a Bouvier, and certainly wasn't expecting "The man" to chime in for the answer. I expected the answer to be that Karl is a giant Schnauzer. Like I said, "useless trivia". Bouviers do tend to be "fierce", like you said, but I think not because they...

Got me on that one. It's late and it's been a long week. ha
