    Adventures in tool picking, a gloat...

    LOL, maybe I should rephrase that, I'll be done with Bailey Bench Planes for a while. :occasion1 I did pick up a Disston No 2 saw vice with the gizmotron file holder and a couple of saw sets. The wife shouldn't leave me alone for a weekend. It's easier to slide this stuff under the radar...

    Adventures in tool picking, a gloat...

    I'm 99.99 percent positive that it was black enamel spray paint on the totes, they had been repaired and repainted at some point in their lives. I do think that they were more then likely black originally, but all of the stanley's I've seen with black handles (like my #4) have nice black laquer...

    Adventures in tool picking, a gloat...

    I've always heard that you can't walk through an antique store without tripping over a Stanley jack plane and I've mostly found that to be true until I started shopping for one. I was able to find a decent user for an okay price but I had to laugh because wooden planes and stanley transitionals...

    Antique Back Saw Restoration... Disston Content

    I love working on old tools, I've been busy tuning up planes lately but I finally got around to doing some filing on the teeth last night. I'm going to hit it up with some neverdull and see how much "bling" I can get out of it. I love old tools but I'm pretty sure I am going to pick up a...

    I wonder ....

    :occasion1I thought about it, and then I thought it would be even more in the spirit of halloween if I had a skillsaw (a plastic black and decker from walmart maybe, so it would be light) and a bloody nub, because even though he is all about safety this is halloween after all... maybe that would...

    Too Cute To Pass Up

    Cool, I'd keep it on a keychain or hang it from the rear view mirror of my truck so I could have some Wood Worker Bling :) The price is very nice, too.

    A Woodworking passage in literature...

    I listen to public radio in the mornings on my way to work and around 5:30 they do a poetry prose. The old guys voice is now the voice in my head anytime I read something like that... :) Nice, really makes me want to read the rest of the story now...

    Umm... If this is a how to... I'm done.

    I liked the "flare" with the spray can; reminded me of that classic 80's movie Cocktail... Now if he could flip a 2 1/2 HP router up in the air and catch it I'd really be impressed!

    Antique Back Saw Restoration... Disston Content

    The saw looks great. I read about that, Froglips must be a genius, I've never heard of that trick. I even googled it and it led me back here. To be honest the smell scares me a little bit, though! I might have to give that a try.

    Antique Back Saw Restoration... Disston Content

    I picked this old Disston (1871-1876) back saw on that internet auction site for less then a set of card scrapers and thought I would see if I could bring it back to life. It's no collecters item, that's for sure. I'll post some pics of the progress. Last night I removed the saw nuts, tote...

    New Yankee Workshop DOA

    That's too bad, I don't know about you all, but I'd rather watch a bad woodworking show over a good scrapbooking or one stroke painting show anyday!

    New Handplaning DVD is coming (not soon enough!!)....

    Sounds like a nice stocking stuffer... I'll have to put that on my amazon wishlist when it comes out.

    A navy tradition is to exchange "challenge coins" this is a display for the skippers many coins. Red Oak and Walnut Trim. This came out of my shop but was not built by me.

    Obligatory 1st post post

    Thanks again everyone! I am on the Harry S Truman (Nimitz Class Aircraft Carrier). I'll have to post some pics of our shops. I am in repair division, so I get to work with lots of cool stuff. Welding, Machining and even woodworking. Best job in the navy :)
