    Handsaw storage ideas?

    I have a new handsaw on order and don't have decent handsaw storage in my garage. It currently consists of various nails wherever there was a little free space. I would appreciate some ideas on handsaw storage. If your idea happens to include planes - even better. Thanks, Geoff

    First, I thought about posting this in "tips & tricks", but was informed I did not have access to that forum. Can someone tell me if that's a site error or if I just haven't earned enough points yet ? heh heh. Second, I'm sure that the collective minds of North Carolina Woodworker'ers have...

    This is a piece of walnut I got somewhere, don't remember where, years ago. It's about 10" X 8" X 7/8. I got it out of the scrap pile and used my ROS on one side and then wiped it down with mineral spirits, and then took the pic and was amazed at what I had. Although I'm a turner, I'm not a...

    Suggestions and Ideas Appreciated

    I wasn't sure where to put this as it's probably not technically a woodworking question but it's certainly the type of thing we all deal with in our homes (and fix in our shops). I have a love/hate relationship with one of the "features" in my house: The built-in gas fireplace w/electronics...
