    Today's Public Service Announcement...

    Chisels remain very sharp. Sharpening chisels this afternoon and a small Stanley socket chisel slipped out of my hand while I was tapping the handle to be ensure it was on tightly. One compression bandage and two band-aids later and I'm back in business (working on plane irons now). Carry on...

    Hole Saw Recommendations?

    It's about time to abandon my 20 year old ACE Hardware, generic, hole saw kit. I was hoping some of you might have an opinion (or ten opinions!) about any products on the market that seem to work better than something I might pick up at Harbor Freight. The only requirement I have is that the...
