    Double Sided Woodworking Tape

    I have used the double sided tape sold by Taylor Toolworks (taytools.com). I believe it is made by IPG. I have used it for securing router templates, workpieces on the CNC machine, etc., and have been very happy with it. I have used various carpet tapes and other double sided tapes over the...

    For Sale: Stanley side rabbet planes, #98 and #99

    I have a pair of Stanley side rabbets for sale. I purchased these over 30 yrs ago. They are not a "matched pair," with the #98 being obviously quite a bit older than the #99. Based upon the Stanley logo on the blade of the #98, I suspect it is from around 1910, give or take a few years. As can...

    New bandsaw blade...send it back?

    If the blade is not running true out of the box, then I would return it. It should not be your responsibility to attempt to make it run more smoothly. Once you start grinding, filing, sanding, or otherwise modifying it, you have no recourse, and your claim that it was faulty when you received it...

    Good News: Mahogany has been found

    Parker is correct in his statement that true mahogany is from the Americas. Swietenia macrophylla, or Honduran mahogany, is the most commonly available species, but availability is dwindling. Perhaps the most desirable of the true mahoganies is Swietenia mahoganii, or Cuban mahogany. It is rare...

    Kunz?

    I remember Kunz tools from back in the '70's and '80's as well. I bought a couple of spoke shaves at a flea market, painted green. In fact, most of what I saw back then were spokeshaves, and maybe some smaller planes. They also made a #80 cabinet scraper I think. Looking at their website, the...
