Problem solved, CSK will grind their 20mm stock back to 11/16".

I've picked up a second hand Jet JJ-8CS jointer. The standard knives are an oddball 11/16" width. I'm seeing people online selling 3/4" as a replacement. How much tolerance is there on these? Who is...

Isn't that a 17" saw, not 14".

I guess in theory there's enough of it left you could make it sort of work.

The tree is down, but unfortunately with the new covid restrictions I'll have to put this on hold.

Thanks everyone for your interest. I'll let you know when it's ready.

My wife is a doctor and sees the aftermath of ladder accidents all the time. She would finish me off if I hurt myself doing it.

Circumference at 1m height is about 70cm, so diameter a bit over 20cm. Tree is booked to come down week of 6 July, it was just a bit awkward to DIY without destroying things.

We're pulling down an ornamental pear in the next few weeks. Timber might be good for turning and small stuff. Anyone interested? Will just be shredded otherwise. Pick up from Blackburn early July.

As a happy owner of a jobsite saw, I'd agree. The only reason to buy a jobsite saw is if you absolutely need the portability. They're designed for relatively rough work, and the tables aren't close...

I have the DWE7491, which is the slightly larger model, and it has a standard plug.

There's probably a reason we're not living together yet :U. That said, she hasn't run screaming, so I think she's a keeper.

Dominos - I'll happily admit to being an all the gear and some idea woodworker. I started out using only hand tools, and wasn't getting far. The Domino is magic for just getting stuff done. The legs...

First real project, a doll's cot in jarrah, finished with hard shellac, for my niece's birthday. The quilt was made by my lady friend. Plenty of stuff-ups, and a few more gaps than I'd like, but a...

I have a 7491. Unless you're lucky with the one you get the lack of flatness of the table will cause issues with mitres anyway.

I replaced the mitre gauge with an Incra and Mitre Express sled,...

That's a great rock version. My favourite is Unknown Hinson's laid back bluesy country cover.

Hard shellac is this stuff from our forum overlords: HARD SHELLAC - New improved formula finish.

Screwed in from the bottom - the camera flash reflected out of the slot on the screw so it doesn't show up well in the pic.

That's an amazing design. Don't know how well it would have worked, but you're not going to mistake it for anything else.

Here's the internals.

My great grandfather was an engineer at the Williamstown dockyards. Going by the quality of the metalworking lathe he made for himself that was also in my grandfather's garage, he would have had no...

Hi all,

Found this plane in my grandfather's garage. Anyone have any idea what it is? 6" long, 35 degree pitch, nice infill tote, no maker's marks. Mechanically it's sort of like a Stanley #40,...

Easiest way to find out would be to sharpen it.

Two down, eight to go:
Veritas Dual Marking Gauge
Veritas Dodeca-Gauge

Incredible smoothing plane.
