    Help ID ing a couple pliers, please?

    Good afternoon, folk. I have three old pliers, a large and small side cutter and a set of needle nose that I have had almost 40 years. I know they are older than that because they were handed down from someone who has been deceased even longer than that. They are good, solid tools, and I have cut a bunch of things with them ,particularly the larger side cutters, that would have destroyed most others I've ever used, and the cutting edges don't even have a scratch on them. But I can

    Another Ribbon Experiment....

    Here's another experiment making a wooden ribbon. I sharpened my Veritas low angle block plane and set it for making thin shavings. Then I planed about 5 - 6 six inch lengths of Pine edge grain. Forming the loops, each one was put into place using CA glue. Next, All this was mounted on a piece of cedar that was coated with iron acetate. It's makes the ribbon "pop"! As a final finish I coated with spray lacquer.    Thanks for looking!  Cheers MrRick

    Yes, it IS a plane, but

    What do I have? Half block plane? And, half bench plane?    About the size of a Stanley #3....   Don't know IF I would call that a Lever Cap.. And, you need a small hammer to do any adjustments....   Has no markings on it, as to who made it, either...     Hmmmm?

    Wednesday's Wisdom For Woodturners October 29, 2025

    Our Patriot Turners- @Steve Krumanaker made some more lids for the artisan who sells bee products. Steve decided to make a change on some of them   These new knobs are really nice. Check out more of this design in Steve's post-   @RustyFN did another gorgeous basket illusion turning. I cannot imagine the patience it takes to create one on these- not to mention the steady hand and great eyesight! Our turners really like this one judging from their comments

    Scraps of Maple

    And a small cut-off of 1/4" Plywood... 1/2" thick Maple scraps...2 ends, 2 sides...Needed to set out a few tools.. Lay out some dovetail pins, and saw the lines... Chop out the waste, use these Pins to lay out the Tails, and saw the waste away from the tails...then a dry fit was attempted... 1 corner done, 3 to go....   Maple scraps started out like this... After resawing off the nasty side of 2 boards (still have one to do,,)

    Education

    Education One of the many projects we are working on is a wiki for our online community. A wiki is a great way for woodworkers and enthusiasts to share their knowledge to others, and to impart their knowledge for others to learn from, and utilize as well for their own benefit. We hope you'll consider being a wiki contributor. Research Do you love researching? Do you like to write about subjects in a factual non-biased style? Do you like leaving your footprint of knowledge behind f
