Tky a lot Argee! :D

Hello, Please is there someone to send me some of this screws ( I will pay you with paypal )? I have try 6mm screws but they doesn't fit. My router is a MOF-001 and the insert is a woodpeckers ( aluminium ). I am in france. Tky.

I am also a owner of the ece bow saw...I wanted to try a "classic" european saw. This saw is very aggressive and it's very difficult ( for me ) to start the cut. Of course I have the same problems...It's very hard for me to evaluate the state of the saw and my technique. Practice is the only way...

Many comments! cool and tky again! Actually I start bevel down for choping ( the chisel has less tendency to plunge into the wood in my experience) then I go bevel up for paring. Another thing is the fact that I currently prefer to work with the piece laying on his edge for shoping... :roll...

Tky guys, You cut directly in the knife line with the saw...Not easy ( I have never used a bench hook though ). Not safer to draw another knife line really near the final one and finish with paring the end grain?

Hi there, A newbie question here! how would you tackle something like this? the width of the piece is 60mm. the total thickness is 24mm...I must cut half wood ( 12mm). Sorry about the mistake in the drawing. the goal is to get rid of the red part with chisels ( 35mm) and saws ( nothing else...

Yep no tilt sensor on this bench :roll:

:D Lol... :arrow:

You are talking about the 50 degrees iron ( its the only one which is straight but skewed a little bit ). With or without the use of the lateral adjuster I think it's almost impossible to get a "strictly" perpendicular ( to the length of the plane) cutting edge and maintain that position while...

Hi David, taking any decision is really hard when you start.Rubbing my planes on sandpaper was a hard one...trust what you see is difficult too... Should I deal with the squareness of my blades first ( it looks like there's not too much work) ? I know that your advice is to stop the grinding...

Dont get me wrong I love my planes ( all veritas btw ) and I can get really good results ( for a complete newbie in this field...) . It's just recently that I have had some hard time with a piece of rosewood. The fact is that I have discover that they were not perfect ou of the box...but very...

I am just using a cerax combination waterstone (1000/6000) and the mkII honing guide nothing else on those blades. I have tryed to compensate for the bevel problem (on the LAJ54) with fingers pressure without success. I think I will try to regrind the skewed blade on a coarse sand paper. I...

happy to see that its not just me being a complete newbie :roll: And yes the registration for high angles on the mkII is tricky...Tks for the tip, I will try. some photos of my blades ( sorry I have no macro lens ): Not sure what to do with the blades now I have no grinder I have checked the...

Hi Jesse can you elaborate on that? My 50 degrees blade ( on my LAJ veritas but its the same blade if I remenber correctly) was more near 45 and also can you check if the blade is slightly curved?

Nice tool (the squirel tail looks cool) and congrate for your work! I have just take a look at your website :D I have started to build my first solid body guitar a few months ago : http://img395.imageshack.us/my.php?image=wip001lf2.gif http://img228.imageshack.us/my.php?image=tete02az8.jpg...

Arf I havn't check the thickness off my shavings. But I think it was good. The blade is sharp. There's a 45 primary bevel, then a 54 one and finally the microbevel at 55 on the 6000 polishing stone. I havnt try beyond 54, its the max "allowed" by my veritas honing guide...I am lazy I know.Also...

I am trying to plane some rosewood at the moment. I have try with my low angle jack with a bevel of 55. I can get some shavings but its really really hard to push the plane. Impossible to control the plane this way, often you loose the contact with the surface and you end up in the wall...

Hi, I would like to know the best way to plane a thick miter joint ( 23mm, near 1 inch ). It is better to hold the piece like this ( like a shooting board but with the plane unguided) ? Tky.

Nice to see all you heary friends :D Hopefully they will appear in one of your books or videos. I have had dogs and cats during all my life but now that I am living in Paris in a very small apartment it would be be not very reasonable to get one. My last one is living with my mother in the...

Hi there, As a complete newbie in this field ( woodworking ) I want to make a few comments. Just to let you know first, I am french ( 31 years old ) and I have just started to build a solid body guitar a few months ago ( you can see a photo here : ) I have bought 3 planes ( all veritas ): a...
