I received the set of Feteira files I ordered from Amazon.

https://www.amazon.com.au/gp/product/B075MCDD5W/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

I can recommend these. I already...

Those holes are almost certainly how the top is connected to the structure. Probably just a couple of screws. This is a veneered man made board (probably chipboard) top so be careful when you take...

Yeah, fair enough. The only value they have is the utility value of keeping bums off of the floor; or firewood. Given that they're are useless to sit on, they're more valuable as firewood...

Are you sure those gussets are original? They look like an after thought to me, probably put in place to compensate for wobbly joints. I can't imagine that they add that much strength to the joint.

Anyone bought or used one of these?

I thought I would try Japanese chisels but I ended up buying a set of Lie-Nielsen mortise chisels.

I wanted to cut new teeth on 110:

It's a bit hard to see, but there are a number of messed up teeth. I had two goes with a file and paper template to mark the new teeth gullets but they...

I have finally received all the goodies I bought to perform the whole task. So far as I have finished restoring 37.

You are not going to win the cupping war with planing. You will just end up with a thinner table top, and it will still be cupped.

There are ways to minimise cupping from boards but they are...

The failed glue line is sufficient to return it. That is not acceptable.

I just would just take my money back and leave the other faults as further ammunition if there is any pushback. Not that...

Hard call. Severely sprained ankles take longer to recover from! DAMHIKT!!!!!!

The Japanese Star-M brand are worth considering.

I just bought a metric set from Carbatec. They're okay, but they are nothing special...

After I wrote about this list night, I had another Amazon search and found this set of Tome Feteira saw files for $57AUD via Amazon: Server Busy

That is probably not a bad starter kit and shipping...

Apparently...

So what do you recommend for saws in lower TPI ranges? Do you have suppliers you have used you prefer? I'm having problems finding vendors that will admit to selling them!!

There was a tool you could buy to do that. I can't remember the brand name. If I recall correctly, Rockler sold them. It seemed a great idea but the price was not attractive enough to me for...

Given that Nicholson is now a dead loss as a file vendor, the only other vendor that seems to have a consistent product is Bahco.

I have not yet had the opportunity to catalog my haul of saws yet...

Looks pretty!

I am interested in the vinegar bath. I'm not that knowledgeable about rust chemistry. I presume that is just common garden variety white vinegar? Anyone compared results with the...

Yay! Mine arrived today :wink:

You're right about why it failed. Without a substantial tenon going across grain, that is prone to fracture like you have here. Just gluing the pieces back together will not solve that problem...

One other thing I thought of; are you pushing against the fence? As counterintuitive as this may sound; it is easier using the fence, especially with the broader surface area of wider boards.

"8, 5" is actually 85. Everything else is correct.

Thanks.

Hmmm. Interesting.

The blades might be new; but how sharp are they? The only comparable experience I've had was recently surfacing some Huon Pine boards. I thought the blades were plenty sharp....

The only thing that improves with age is disappointment!

I saw your wanted ad but you specifically said you wanted a Veritas so I stayed schtum.

However, I have a surplus Marples 044 if that interests you. Way better than an 040 and for less money than...

I resemble that remark...

:D

That will do the job, after you have hardened it.

We're gonna need a bigger box...

Please also add these to my pile; 17, 22, 69, 110, 111.7, 117, 118

Hoo boy...

Many of these I am going to refurbish and give to my brothers!

Camphor Laurel, for a cheese board? It will look nice but I'm not sure that is such a great idea. Eventually even a heavy film finish is going to be damaged by knives and the taste of camphor on...

Please add 85 to my pile.

Looks like I'm gonna be busy!

Thanks.

I'm going to respond to the thread so everyone can see the response.

Do you want PM for these saws or open messages on the thread?

As I'm already talking, I would like to take numbers 5, 37,...

Does the misalignment only show at the back? That is, the front of the chair looks fine where the chair legs meet the balloon top? If so, you could either leave (it would be no worse than when you...

Some pictures would be helpful.

If the dowel is solid in one end of the joint. I would just leave it. Clean out the other hole of glue. I would even consider using the next size larger drill bit...

I prefer to think of it as a scrub plane.

I have used a hand held electric planer to flatten one face of a long board in just the same way as you would with a scrub plane; using winding sticks and...

I don't own one, though I think that might change; and when you see it, you have to ask why nobody thought of this before! :doh:

Hmmm. I've heard of the rub joint with hot hide glue (I've used this myself) but not with PVA. I wonder what is happening that makes this work.

Hi Derek,

Oh, good to know about the static. I would not have thought of that. Not something that is a big problem here in BNE cos low humidity means 80%! :D

Where did you get the big bloke...

There are heaps of sellers of the small cyclones on eBay. They all seem to be within a dollar of each other but up to $25. The Dust Deputy version of these is vastly more expensive.

I found this US seller on eBay that might interest you for the acme threaded rod. These are 3/4" diameter in 3ft lengths for roughly $74AUD shipped.

I bought some of these from Lee Valley and I have used them on two table projects. I like them a lot.

The problem is still that the spindle only turns at the maximum speed of a spindle moulder which is way slower than used for most of the smaller router bits.

I have a CU300 and thought about it...

I just reinforced the bucket with plywood ribs and screwed them on like so.

Almost 100% of the dust goes in the bucket. I would just go back to the bucket if I were you.

I needed to finish a single item in wipe-on poly to match another piece that was finished with Minwax. Given that Minwax is no longer an option (I've written about this before)I tried the FW...

Interesting solution. I did it a different way.

I created a new "bar" from HDPE that fits snugly into the slot on my CU300. I just slide it out if it is going to be in the way but most...

I've been using The Dia-flat for at least six years on Shapton glass stones. By far the best solution I've tried.

Maybe ask if they can re-saw the boards or know someone that can. No doubt there are board members in Melbourne that might be able to do that for you. If you were in Brisbane I could have done it.

You can still buy the Bosch 10.8V tools from the USA. One of the benefits of the battery is that the voltage is not really an issue. You can use a step-down transformer (like I do) if you don't have...

I'm thinking along the lines of a clip that is fastened to the underside of the ZCI that extends under the table thereby preventing the blade from lifting the ZCI when the blade it is spinning. You...

I like the idea of the magnets but I still think I would like something mechanical holding this down; at least at the back of insert.

I'm following this with interest because I would like to do...
