Outstanding work!!!

Are you talking about an electric handheld planer? :oo: :o :C Sounds like a good time to convert to the darkside.

Awesome work!!

I knew something wasn't right about the old goat.

When I pulled it out of the packaging, the blade was set to cut on the push stroke. My highschool shop teacher used them that way as well. Was Mr. Dalsing wrong???

Looks good Matrix. One more thing to add to my shop "to do" list.:o

That's a great piece of work Bob. Greenie on the way.

Great boxes and welcome aboard. We can always use another yankee:D

I'm all pull saws. They just work for me. And I use a tall bench. I also realized one day as I was using my coping say, that I put the blade on so it was cuting on the pull stroke. Don't remember...

LMAO!!! I think you pretty much nailed it.

...well that's 30 minutes of my life I'll never get back. I didn't know the metric system was french. Being an imperialist yankee, I'll never switch now. :rolleyes:

I must have skipped school...

Looks good Jack. I've made a few boxes from plywood with good results. Here is my last one

Good eyes, but it's not actually a repair. What you're seeing is where two boards were jointed together to make a wider panel. That's just where the tail happened to fall in the layout. It took me...

Beautiful work. I like it.

A friend of mine wanted a toybox for his cabin on Lake Michigan. The cabin was built thirty years ago from mostly western red cedar. He had a few boards leftover and asked If I could make something...

Nice work. Would love to get my hands on some jarrah. Its expensive in my neck of the woods.

If SWMBO kicks you out of the house, you could cook yourself dinnier with the microwave. You could use that big ol' bench as a bed, of course the planes would have to sleep somewhere else. And if...

Most used plane: Record low angle block plane
Favorite plane: LV scrub plane. I find myself looking for any reason to feed it, it's a very hungry plane. And working it's way up the list is my new LV...

I've never used tung oil before, so maybe its a stupid question, but here goes. It seems the most common method of sanding it for the next coat is to use steel wool. What's the difference between...

Hey Lou, you have your beast finished yet??

There's a NewYankee episode where Norm visits the Studley toolchest. Its part of a private collection. Location was undisclosed. Truely a work of art.

I think you've been breathing to much sawdust.

Looks great wongo. I wish I could get redgum in my neck of the planet without paying a finger and a leg for it.

Looks great matt. Going to give that a try myself someday.

Hav'nt been here for a while. Its looking good Lou, keep up the good work.

Nicely done Aaron. I love the cabinet. I'd say that was a sucessful recycle job.

Beautiful box!! The brass corners add an elegant touch.

I didn't see a jig for handcut dovetails but there was an entry in the "tips and tricks" section from a Robert Marples of Perth. Does that name sound like anyone you know??

Forget my kids, I might make one of those for myself.

Looks like you found me :) Now don't be snoopin' around my shed.;)

Pictures look great, and so do the doors. I personally like pine, it works well for these kind of doors.

I gotta admit Lou, I didnt like that joint on paper(autocad) but I think it looks great in wood. I like the way you worked it out.http://www.woodworkforums.ubeaut.com.au/images/icons/icon14.gif

Ruffly's wood talks to her, my planes talk to me. They constantly whine.
"I'm hungry, I want something to eat." And the don't get along very well either. The scrub eats everything in its path...

I think this thread just got legs for ten more pages:D .

I use Titebond on everything. Never failed me yet:).

Linux...it works on any platform.

I bought my LV scrub as soon as the hit the market last year. I've used it several times with great results. Sometimes late at night, when the family is asleep, I sneak into my shop, stick a piece of...

Nice work and great details on the gun.

On the other subject, when did it become "a bad thing" for kids to play with toy guns?? When I was a rugrat my friends and I used to spend hours shooting...

That dog is living better than I am.

Looking great. How many hours do you have into the project so far?

Stay true to the darkside Lou. You're building a workbench that should last your lifetime, enjoy every second of the process, which clearly you are.

I agree with banksiaman, this wood wants to be dominated by you. Make it stick to its original purpose. You need a place worthy of your saws so you can keep cracking out those dovetails.

My shop has exposed joists in the ceiling so I setup a series of cables to hold the top half up while I bolted it down and did some fine tuning. It was well worth it.

The best way to go. If you don't have a plane that will do the job you could use a flat rasp. Just make sure your keeping cheek flat and square.

I like the staggering idea from Lignum.

Very nice.

I was thinking Bosch, but Makita is great stuff too....forgive a damn yankee.:D

I don't know Lou, I think I like your original design with just the twin tenons. I think that would be enough. If you want to sure, just wedge them from the bottom.

Looks great. Who exactly are the boys in blue??

:eek: :( Oops, I was just looking at #148 issue of Popular Woodworking featuring Lee Valley and and that other plane maker in Maine, and I can see now that's not you. But you two sure look a lot a...
