Well, got a Stanley plane in the mail the other day, a Birthday present from a buddy. A Stanley No. 39, 3/8" Dado plane.. It was missing a few items, though. Went over to nhplaneparts to see what Eric had He did had two of the three bolts to hold the nickers with....about $10 for the pair....pass He did have a nicker, since I was missing that one, I placed an order for it. A wee bit too tiny of an object to work on, with my eyes.... He did not have the 3/8" cutter. I happen to have a "spare" tappett wrench. Should be some decent steel in it, right. Started to cut the piece I needed off the wrench ( still a bit of a wrench left) and got a tub of water to sit by the grinder....going to be a LONG day This is where things started, laid the "blank" on the plane, to see where to cut stuff out Yep, gonna take awhile. Trying NOT to burn the steel, had a water trail across the floor from all the dunking. Got things a little closer, used the beltsander to ease the grinder marks For one thing, the edge is beveled at an angle, the iron itself needs to be tapered, the iron sits in the plane at an angle. Back to the grinder. Kept thinning things down, refining bevels, smoothing out grinder roughness. Finally got things to fit, almost Now, being the cheapskate I am, I decided to save a few dollars. Went to Lowes and picked up a tap & drill, and a pack of small bolts. Looked the same size....some dummy forgot his glasses.. For you see, the tap was for 6-32 bolts.....pack of bolts I bought were 8-32 ones...ooops. So, while waiting on the Boss to get ready to drive me to Lowes, again.....drilled the four holes to hold the nickers on. Nice and easy to do, Then put the tap into a tap wrench And gave it a spin. No problems, tap was dry, spun easy. Ok, off to lowes for bolts, and other stuff ( honey-do supplies) Installed the bolts as deep as I could, from the left hand side. The right hand side was flat, so if the bolts stuck out ( they did) I could grind them flush better. Had to be careful to just grind the bolts. Couple of which wanted to spin back out. Cleaned and sharpened the one nicker i did have. Went to install the bolts for it....they wouldn't go through the slot on the nicker. Well, drill bit was still in the drill press....a wiggle here and there to make some room. Try again....yep, they fit. Cranked down the two bolts, and set the other two into their own holes. Then tried to make a shaving....nicker works, but no shavings? Ah, needs more cutter adjustment. Ground the iron a bit thinner, to open the mouth enough for a shaving to sneak through. Finally got some! Well, about it, until the other nicker shows up, but here is the plane so far As for the new tap? Might have to add a hole to stash it in Getting a might full, though. Long day, might have been worth it?

Hi all! I just wanted to show off the latest creation, if you are on facebook you may have seen it already. A mini pepper mill made from maple. This mill is approximately 2 5/8" wide at the bottom 2 1/4" at the top and about 2 7/8" tall not including the handle which would put it over 3" tall. This one is a bit tricky in the fact that you have to drill precisely otherwise it won't fit together right. It's not one that you can just trim down the hardware if it doesn't fit, so I had a bit of fun trying to get it exactly right. which is not normally my thing. I like to let things be whatever they turn out to be. It paid off though because it is a great little grinder. I thought I had seen these over at WoodCraft but when I went looking for it, I didn't see it, so I got this one at Craft Supplies USA I actually picked up a pair of them, they also have the salt grinder too which I intend to get later. Here is the actual link to the grinder if you want that, Pepper Mill. To finish this mill, you'll need a blank that is 2.5"x2.5"x3" I went with 3.5" long blank so that I could mount it in the 4 jaw chuck. Thanks for reading and happy turning.
