I was just in Colonial Williamsburg in Virginia for the past few days and one thing that was mentioned there was that molding planes may have been much more prevalent with the joiners doing architectural work. Talking with another woodworker friend of mine who I traveled with, he said many of...

Beautiful saw, Alf! I managed to weasel my way into possession of one this past holiday as well: I went the Kenyon route. It works swell. Mr W knows what he's up to over there in Oregon. What wood is that in yourn? I want to know more about that bevel kit too. -Jamey (needing a better...

Verse 2: Inshave Verse 4: Button Brace Verse 5: 150+ year old filletster plane -Jamey

1. Fray Brace, 5" sweep (Five inch clue, Spinning Home and Walnut clue) 2. Pocket Hole Jig (Fits in a pocket, Works inside-out - still could also be a reamer) 3. Chair Devils (Smoothes facets, ...scraping home) 4. Chisel (brass ferrule, button and whacking makes me think it has to be a chisel)...

Get a really well tuned wooden smoother. One with a very tight mouth and very sharp iron. Put it to wood and then come back and let us know what you think. I started with all Type 11 Stanleys. They were great. I sold those and moved on to Veritas bevel-up planes. I love them, they are...

I wouldn't say influenced. I had the walnut from my grandfather's old stash (cut, I believe, from my great-grandfather's farm) and when I went to the store to pick out a paint color for the maple, the blue I wanted was out of stock, so the green was my second choice. I had remembered that...

It will certainly not be big enough for my entire stock of tools, but I believe for the tools I want within reach the most, it will serve fine. The pine was rescued from the garage of my old (pre-marriage) house that is up for sale. When I found it under the rubble, much of which was from the...

I haven't really posted here before, but I do browse a lot from across the pond. I will let you go to my woodworking page (here) to read the details, but I completed my toolchest last night. There are some bad spots, but I did a great job hiding them in the photos, I think. :biggrin: As...
