    Vintage Craftsman Table Saws

    Did you do this yourself?? I got an old Craftsman table saw this summer from my wife's uncle (iirc it's a 103.22181) and as much as I want to fix it up, I'm not sure I'm personally up to the task! 😅

    Apologies! Thought I included a couple pics of it, but here's some make-ups. It doesn't appear to be all the way thru to the inside of the sole. I haven't been on this site very long, but I've already seen plenty of comments asking for pics all over. Figured if I was going to actually post...

    As far as cleaning it up (before tuning) are there some big "do's and don'ts" I should be aware of? Like for rust removal, is the vinegar bath okay for pieces like the frog (minus the brass nut)?

    I had been in there a couple times before, but this time I had to take one home 😅.

    Not sure, would have to check the listing. As far as money goes in general... There's a difference between cost and value, but it definitely varies person to person!

    Probably because you know what to look for already! Was the repair on the main casting done correctly? No idea, but it looks neat. Is the sole still relatively flat? Appears to be visually and sits 'flat' on a table, but will look into it more. Would you honestly use the plane with a rear tote...

    Thanks! I was considering making replacement handles myself, but did see some gorgeous ones on eBay I might jump for 😅. I've watched a few sharpening videos already, and will undoubtedly watch many more before I even attempt it myself!

    Hi Jim, appreciate the honesty and tips. I've been watching some YouTube channels and reading things here and across the web, but I'll be there first to say I have no idea what I'm doing! That's part of the fun for me going into woodworking was a hobby, is to figure things out. Experience is the...

    Hello from a newbie (both here and to woodworking). I bought a Stanley 5 1/2 handplane from a local antique shop that seems in okay shape, but I'm still looking into how to "restore" it on my own for use as I've never done that before (or used a handplane yet either). My only real concerns are...
