Thanks, I'll check it out if our local fine wood distributor has it in stock.

About artme's warning and your response to it, I think both are truly fair play.

I mean, if someone has an fair...

Hello,

Ok, I'll have to check it out. Thanks for advice, artme. :2tsup:

I have made a couple of wooden combs using a dovetail ripsaw, and for comb spike shaping I have used knife tips as...

Thanks!

Blackbean, is it like these samples here?

It makes sense a wood good for bows would be also good for combs.

Kippis,

Hello,

Which aussie timber would be suitable for making hairdresser's wooden combs?


Thanks for reading!

Hello Fuzzie,

Yes, that's the thing I ment. Guess I should have said it so, too, in these days of lithium-ions sparkling everywhere. :D

Wera seems to offer impact driver bits up to 18mm wide,...

Hello,

They seem to be big allright. :2tsup:

Check out some larger impact screw drivers. They should have wide bits. I have one 12,5mm wide and 2,5 mm thick flathead bit in my old Wera set....

Oh man, those are incredibly good looking saws. :2tsup: I highly appreciate that blackwood as well. I can say from my own experience it is one very tough and strong wood, and looks absolutely great....

Hello,

Thank you mates for your encouraging words. I promise to take it a bit easier and do some relaxing woodworking. Or at least some relaxing jarvising. :)

About the wood, it was really a...

Hello,

Yup, hereabouts the official winter tyre season starts from 1. December and ends in the end of February. However, winter tyres are allowed/recommended to be used before and after the...

Hello,

This is my #2 attempt to make a very low angle wooden smoother plane. The first one was a krenov-style, but with this I decided to go for something different, construction-wise. It has...

Hello,

Check out this electrolytic rust removal method for table saw top (right after those handplane treatment pics).

Before (electro)chemistry I would probably scrape some of the rust off...

Hello,



Well, yes, basically so, but with certain adjustments: During wintertime, they do not completely remove the ice on the roads, but they more like scrape it flat and free of hard packed...

That's quite possible, too. At that time, Fiskars/Billnäs area was loaded with different kinds of craftsmen. There was a lot of industrial furniture and cabinetmaking, foundry patternmaking and other...

Hello,

Thanks :)

About the cars, usually they are treated with all of that.

Most cars do have an engine block heaters, which are mostly 600 - 900 Watt heating elements. Some heater models...

Hello,

Some time ago I found an interesting plane iron. It was made by Billnäs Bruk in Finland. So far, it is the only specimen of it's kind I've seen.

After some searching, I found a patent...

Hello,

I took a couple of parking lot pics while having a coffee break at work. Just a couple of hours ago.

The temp outdoors is about minus 8 degrees Celsius at the moment. It was at minus...

Hello,

I have found out that absolutely the best way to start dressing a badly eccentric/bumpy wet grinder stone is to use angle grinder with grinding disc (not cutting disc). Saves time a lot.
...

I have FAMAG bits of various kinds, and I'm intending to get some more selection next time when I'm going to visit Germany. They are of exceptional quality, and outstanding compared to their prices....

Hi,

Don't know what's with it, but rediscovering building blocks is just almost too cool. Happened to me too.

Those blocks are way cool and seem to fit just nicely together. However, that set...

Huh, I did not think it would draw this much of attention :? . Thanks, mates :) .

Honestly, it is completely a free-form piece of work with no particular preliminary planning whatsoever.

Hello,

I accidentally made this truck for my son about 7 years ago. I was playing with my smaller routah and preparing a jig for completely different purpose. This was at first a piece of scrap...

It wasn't exactly a walk in a park for the Artek, either :wink: . Good for them there were guys who weren't afraid of dark :D .

If I copied any of Aalto chairs for myself, I'd go for Lounge Chair...

For the 3rd post today in this thread: my updated gear, main methods and some footnotes.

In the 1st pic there is a kitchen utensil called Electrolux Assistant. I picked it up from a flea market....

I'll add up a mixing chart. The calculated ratios are based on the values in materials data sheets.

The purpose of that picture is to suggest some kind of preliminary guideline for the mixing...

Hello,

Time to get this issue updated. (BTW, one (or actually two) of the fine grit alumina stones is about to set sails towards Oz. :wink: )

Here is a couple of pics about soapstone-epoxy...

Aye, knife sharpening is an art of it's own, especially for stainless boning knifes in industrial food processing. When I was a student, during summer holidays I worked at fish farm. I still...

I wonder if it develops any pressure? If I attached some bagpipe reeds there, wouldn't it be wonderful to listen how it sounds like in the oven :cool:.


:p

Kippis,

Aye, thumper funduros are fun and pretty easy and comfortable to otherwise sore wrists.

If you like, check out some more FAQs and bike stories of the thumper genre....

Hello,

Makitas are pretty good. Not that overpriced, and their construction is simple and solid. They use good bearings (important). Router frame usually supports quite well perpendicular plunging...

Nasty.

My darling wife is a RN, and works sometimes at the ER of Central Hospital of Tampere. Especially springtime is busy time there when all the farmers and home renovators are starting to...

Humm, If in need of a budget bike, I'd look for it by the engine it has, at 4K maybe by 650 cc Rotax, perhaps.

Moto Guzzi would be the choice otherwise. It has true character.

:?:2tsup: Say What? Dunno who is "howard", I have not been bothered. Sorry guys!

In Garmisch (like in Helsinki, Finland, baby) there is Aussie Bar. I've visited that joint a couple of times....

Hello,

I do not have Veritas honing guide, so I have to ask this:

Does MK II assume by default that your plane irons and chisel blades are evenly thick across the blade? Blades may be tapered...

Hello,



Here I must agree with you. For example Oktoberfest beer is generally okay as a drinkable malt brew, but it's main purpose is to create noise.

During these years I have had to visit...

Just some pics about the exhibition. Again, it's about nearly impossible to capture these views with a camera.

As an honest and objective conclusion, I sincerely recommend to visit the place. It...

Hello,

Last week me and my pal with his 5 years old son took a little daytrip to BMW Welt in Munich. Worth every cent, I'd say.

The Showroom building (where their latest car models are on...

Nice plane and iron, congratulations for a good find :).

The database of Kleines Werkzeugmuseum did not reveal that one, either. http://www.holzwerken.de/museum/hersteller/marken.phtml

Hello,

I won't ever argue against the spirit of new invention (where ever it might pop up), but to me, I have never heard a good sounding folding travel guitar anywhere. But I would be glad to...

:D:D:D

My lady, in your position, I'd accept only solo guitarist vacancies, and (at least) half of the gig reward :D:D:D.


It's an incredibly cool guitar you guys made. Sounds crystal clear...

Hello,

I'm just being curious, what kind of tool is extra wide round scraper for woodturning?

Sorry if I sound like the silly novice I am, but how about buying one of those cheapish and wider...

Hello all,



Yes and true. Nowadays, there is a nice diversity of reactive viscosity cutters providing excellent surface wettability, too, so for woodworking applications there is no real need...

Hello,

I have done some "silvering" with iron sulphate (ferrous sulphate, iron vitriol, green vitriol) dissolved in hot water as "suitable" dosage and then brushing it on the wood. It makes the...

Hello,




:D You know, the liquid level in that bottle of Speyburn was kinda little low this morning. It looks like I just fluently failed to make the difference between "heel" and "toe" :p. ...

Helmut, Thanks for this info. I wonder how extensive it could be, for example in what kind of frequency (timber-wise) these defects would occur? I want a big slab of jarrah or some other wood as...

:2tsup:



(I happen to have only some Speyburn in my glass, may I still join the toast? )

My Sincerest Congratulations to the Aussie Hockey team from Finland. Well done!...

Hi Helmut,



Right. In eucalyptus trees, does the gum resin harden as "hard" while aging? I have understood that in gum trees the resin is much more like rubbery even as aged. Is it so with all...

Hello,

I can't take aim at them jarrah gum lines (is it practically equivalent to a crack? Or not?) but that tone and grain of that wood is so cool :2tsup:.
