  1. I could not see where this had anything to do with what I posted....
  2. Well parts of this will be on my bench until it warms up outside so I can put it back together. I searched google and looked at all the pictures that I could find but I can not find the maker of this unit. No markings anywhere on the machine that I could find... Anyone have any idea on who made this? Plane blade sharpener...
  3. Grizzly tools sells heavy duty ones. They even have them for 220 volts...
  4. You forgot to add that the bobbin gets attached with a self sealing stem bolt....
  5. For labeling I take a hot melt glue gun and glue one of what I have inside the drawer to the outside so I can see it...
  6. I just finished putting a handle on this old Shipwrights Adze.
  7. If you stack them in a storage unit I think all you will have would be a BIG pile of mold... Outside under a tarp or roof and stickered would be the best if you don't have a kiln.
  8. Looking it up I think it's the same thing... Google calling it osage orange ...
  9. My uncle was a glass cutter. He told me that glass gets real brittle with age.
  10. The new vise will hold anything from 0 to 24"...
  11. Now I have a way to hole small wood parts so I can overhead plane them down...
  12. So.... The last couple days I cut down a machinist to make a wood vise using junkyard parts... And the story goes on...
  13. I building a 12 foot by 8 foot overhead router plane for in my shop but I'm waiting for some tee rail to finish it. So..... I have this 10 Fingers Router ( I have no idea why it's called that) that's never been used. It has no way to hold down anything to work on. The story continues ...
  14. I have this overhead router plane that I made for my saw mill but it's a pain putting it on the saw mill carriage... The story continues...
  15. Sanding down all this glue is a pain in the neck... So.... The story continues....
  16. One way I get around that is to use colored sawdust. I keep coffee can fun of different kinds of wood. Reed wood, Walnut, white pine and so on... Work great for me.
  17. The gaps I got even with the smallest blade. I needed to make very sharp turns and I had to make room for the blade to turn. This is why I was using varnish. I taped up the bottom to stop the runs and fill the cracks. I could have used epoxy. Any better ideas? One trick I've used over the years was to rub the sanding dust back into the cracks before I varnished. This worked best years ago when I sanded my grandfathers kitchen floor. It looked great until I vacuumed up all the dust. I had some floor cracks 1/2" wide. I dumped the sanding bag is dust back onto the floor and swept it all back in the cracks. Then I took sanding sealer to the whole floor. After It dried I sanded again. Then I varnished. Turned out great.
  18. I'm having a hard time with the varnish... I keep sanding it down and recoating but I'm not happy with the finish...
  19. Opps... I was wrong. I meant to say smoke tree... https://www.thespruce.com/growing-a-purple-smoke-bush-3269235
  20. You might know it as a burn bush...
  21. I had the same problem. Working with Staghorn wood. Everything I put on it for a finish would turn the orange wood brown.
