    First Cove Cuts

    I have a lot of projects that my wife wants me to do involving wood. Well it never seems like they get done and I feel bad because I want her to be happy. She asked me to make her a little shelf to go over the back of the couch to place picture frames on or what ever else ends up going...

    Norton Flattening Stone.....

    After a few weeks with this stone, I'm sold. It is a 220 Grit stone with grooves cut into it. The idea is "simple", its used to flatten other water stones. It does require flattening itself, which I've done both on wet/dry paper on glass and with a diamond stone. As long as you...

    I have two piece of Walnut I need to join lengthwise. I know how to do that, I just need to get these edges flat for joining.

    Flattening Glued Up Panels

    I have glued up some more panels, with better results than my first go at it (Thanks again, Jay Brewer). These panels have one or two spots on the glue seams that are .030 and .040 inch off (higher or lower, depends on how you think about it). There are no gobs of dried glue visible, but the...

    Questions on Flattening a block plane

    I cleaned and am currently trying to flatten the Fulton Low Angle block plane that I have. I have a granite slab and have been using sandpaper to get it done. I have been at it for a few hours now. Turns out that there are 2 spots that actually have little dips in the sole... They are about...

    I found 3 sheets of 2' X2' 5-ply 1/2-inch plywood that is laminated on both sides with a plastic veneer. It was in the scrap bin at the Restore Warehouse for $1/sheet. I want to use it for tablesaw inserts, jigs, etc., but each sheet has a small bow in it from other boards laying on top of them...

    Flattening water stones (Not!)

    I have used waterstones for sharpening for years. Up until a year or so ago, when I bought a Norton flattening stone, I used sandpaper on a glass plate for flattening every few sessions. Lately I have been seeing flaky results. I use a Veritas bevel guide, establish the main bevel with the...

    Hand Scraping (metal flattening)....

    For those who are interested, I've made some progress on my Hand Scraping a block plane sole flat. This is a technique where you "spot" your workpiece against a super flat master surface. Paint transfer from the master to the workpiece shows you all the high spots. Then you scrape the...

    Flattening the Sole of a Hand Plane

    As you can see, I am new to WW and the NCWW net. My wife gave me a new Stanley #4 plane for my birthday recently. I have read that the sole of a new plane should be flattened and smoothed to make it work more smoothly. I have flattened the sole of a couple of old Stanley block planes by...
