    Woodworking magazines need a new home

    I have accumulated quite a few woodworking magazines over time and now they need a new home. When I had space to have them out and accessible, I would look at them regularly. It’s been a couple of years and now they need a new home. These would make an awesome Christmas gift (hint, hint). I...

It looks like the missing one is the “logo” nut as I have the slotted piece and hole for missing nut is larger than the other three. The diameter is 3/4”. Any ideas where I might find such a thing without dropping...

    Looking for a log

    I'm looking for a source for a 2 to 3 foot length of log, 12"+ in diameter. I'd like it to use as a chopping block for hatchet work. I'm in N Raleigh, don't have a chainsaw (hmmm maybe an opportunity for new tool) but can come and get it and happy to pay for it. Thanks. jonathan

    Mortise chisels? Narex?

    I am looking to pick up a couple of mortise chisels and would prefer not to break the bank. I spotted the Narex mortise chisels on the Lee Valley site and the Sorby plastic handle chisels at Highland and wonder if anyone has used them. Do they hold an edge? Are they comfortable to hold? Do...
