Putting an old tool back into the workforce--Yea that's a great feeling..... Jim: my money is on you beating the deadline, as long as you stay focused :3gears:

R Looking fwd to seeing it come together..... Andy

Jim: Thanks CRS: That is a great find, don't come across them in the "wild" very often.....been looking for one myself. Looks to be in decent shape, glad you are putting it to work, but it's also a great display item. Andy

Thanks Jim, BTW I'm looking for a hide glue double boiler (pot) don't have an extra in your stash you'd be willing to part with? Andy

Understand....when I built this shop promised myself not to do any other projects than shop accessories. Well that was 2 years ago, shop is not finished and just now getting to the tool cabinet :lol_hitti Thanks for the compliments guys, Andy

New tool cabinet, not finished but at least it can hang on the wall while I'm working on it.... Went from vertical storage of planes to shelfs, can get almost twice the number of planes in a smaller cabinet than i was using before. Also changing my long hand saw storage to the back of the...

I use a long grain shooting board, perfect tapers on each leg..... Andy

Rich1: Nice score on the wood.... In my experience the wood will check (crack) on the ends to the first sticker, so I space my end stickers about 2" in. Takes more stickers but it's worth it, also recommend cutting about a foot off of one board and lay it on the stack, when the moisture...

Jim: Was wishing I had a pulley like that on mine when it turned out over 90' of half inch dowels to make the drawer pulls for my workbench. ;-0 Looks like a nice find..... Andy

Rich: Have had several leg vises, and my big concerns are with screw location/height, chop width and now build all mine where the bottom slide on floor. Don't know what you're using to keep the vise parallel, but I highly recommend the Crisscross device from BC, or a similar design.....they...

Thanks to all for the kind comments about the bench.... Rich: Cameras can do strange things to 3D objects, esp when there's a lot of depth in the background....makes your chop look out of square in the picture. As Jim already stated, used a homemade trammel for doing mine also, then rigged...

Rich: My chop is over 14" wide and there's advantages to wide chops, the only disadvantage is it takes a good screw to make one work right; Benchcrafted or a very large wood screw, like a Lake Erie....attached a photo.

Rich: That block plane is a keeper, nice. Zach: There is always a little more pride when hand made, and you can be very proud of those.... Andy

That is an outstanding planer....congrats Andy

Zack: Lots of options: Here is my latest example, Jim will know where I got all the dowels ;-) I've also made a variation with electric conduit. Andy
