The bit & block from MLCS arrived yesterday and I fiqured I make a box for it as a test piece. Nixon has a good video as does...

    Maple Butcher Block Countertop

    I finished the butcher block counter top today. I ran into all kinds of problems and it took much longer than I thought it would. I had glue showing when I stained the backsplash. It didn't show up until I stained it. So I took it off, sanded it again and put it back on. When I put it back...

    Gluing Up Block for BS Box

    I spent the morning jointing, planing, and cutting a couple of cedar boards for my first go at bandsaw boxes. That part went well, the next step got ugly. I don't have a glue roller, so I improvised and used a foam brush to spread the glue thinly. When I clamped the first block with...

    Block Plane Tune-up

    I have a Stanley 7" block plane that I'm having problems with. If I lower the iron far enough to bite, the top of the iron contacts the front of the mouth so the shavings have nowhere to go. The mouth isn't adjustable. It only cost about $20 at Lowes if I remember correctly but I don't have...

    block planes

    I'm sure this has been discussed to death, but I would like to know about block planes (low angle adjustable mouth) and makers. LN certainly gets good marks, though I don't have any of their planes myself. LV seems to also get good marks and be slightly less expensive. Of course there is...

    block planes

    If you were buying a new block plane, would you buy a low angle adjustable mouth block, or would you choose a skewed block? Why? Are there more advantages with the skew? Thanks for any help. David
