    Router Plane

    Can’t believe that Lee Valley considers the KM plane a rip off of their design. The Veritas uses a blade adjustment that is just like the Stanley 71. The KM has a totally unique blade holder/adjuster, which based on the video, is a big improvement.I don’t think that the shape of the base is a...

    Sliding leg vise with X cross

    In various forums, people who have tried to build DIY x-crosses found that the vise would slightly release pressure after it was clamped down. It looks like you’ve solved the problem with the triple arm x-cross, and I’m going to copy it. My question is, did you engineer the shape of the arms, or...

    Vises or Vices?

    I’m DIY’ing my leg vise. I’m using a 1” acme threaded rod for the screw. I can’t remember if I found it on Ebay or Amazon, but I just checked and they’re available at less than $30 for a three foot piece from Amazon. I bought an acme nut from the local Fastenal. ( I found that the prices at the...

    CA shelf life

    I bought several bottles of different viscosities a couple of years ago so that I would have it on hand when I needed it. Big Mistake. I needed it last week and all of it was rock solid.

    Where does you favorite tool rank?

    As some of the previous posters have said, it depends on how you define “favorite.” I think that turning bowls is the most enjoyable thing that I do in the shop. On the other hand, I can’t use the term “enjoyable “ to describe turning 200+ spindles with a duplicator. I sold my duplicator to...

    Remote Start or Switch on Wall etc. for Dust Collection.

    I now have automatic start, but previously I had a switch on the end of a 25’ drop cord. A drop cord was cheaper than raw cable. I cut the plugs off the ends and wired a switch in a metal gang box on one end. I could take the switch to whatever machine I was using and I could hang it on or near...

    Drill press mortise attachment

    It sounds to me that the bit is self feeding into the piece faster than you can push the chisel. A dedicated mortiser has an arm that is 3 to 5 times longer than the typical drill press arm, and also a lot beefier to allow you to force the chisel through the wood. I suppose you could try to rig...

    Is there a suitable, cost effective replacement for cypress?

    I’m not sure why. I also don’t know how to post a link in my reply, but if you google “rot resistance of cypress“ you’ll find the same information.
