    Another Question About Planes

    The first one is a compass plane, it is for planing concave, or convex surfaces. You turn the knob to set the sole for the type of work you are doing. They were used mainly in boatbuilding. I worked for several years on restoring a 104 wooden ship Freedom, and used one almost every day...

    A Question about Wood Planes

    I use hand planes every day. I own several cabinets full of them. I keep buying more! My personal belief is that they were made to be used. I am not a "polish it and put it on display" guy. If they are rusty, it's a bath in Evaporust, or the electric spoogee tank. Only because rust leaves...

    Craigslist is ruining my life.

    I have two unisaws, and a delta 12/14" that I use in my furniture shop, but I learned on my grandfathers craftsman like that and have been looking for one for 5 years! From my perspective, you my friend, ****!

    What is a MPSI Pro Link?

    I bought several boxes of items at a garage sale. I only wanted them for several tools sticking out of the boxes. This was in the bottom of one in a case. From what I can gather it is an old scan tool. There is not much on ebay. Is it still used at all? I do old Jeeps, newer trucks, and...

    Ever buy a tool strickly for resale?

    In a word yes. It keeps me in tools of my own. I do not do it to put food on my table, nor will I take advantage of anyone's warrantee. I use it as a way to put tools in my box that I need or want. I will buy or trade for anything I think that I can make buck on or trade for something I...

    Screwdrivers, Keep'm or downsize

    Quick, go to your nearest tool truck, walk in, breath deep, and buy something, anything! I think that this will cure your urge to get rid of tools, but I don't know for sure as I have NEVER been afflicted with such a hideous and socially unacceptable disease. Please keep any further notions...

    Snap On Tool Box Question

    I would buy it in a second. Take 100 dollar bills, show him eight and guage his reaction. If he walks, suddenly remember the other three in your back pocket. He can't hold it against you for trying. Sometimes talking to someone one the phone, and seeing cash can be different things. Money...

    Fein Multimaster, why so expensive?

    X2 on all of the above. I have used them all in a varity of professional applications, and for day in and day out income producing work, I would not choose anything but the MM. I can see that an average homeowner might not need one, but it stands head and shoulders above the competition, at...

    Actually, I bought it today and my new mail order bride from Spain, who also by the way a former ******* model, will be delivering it once my check clears. Showed up in RI
