I am home most weekends. That being said I have a few weekends I can't;

Most of October will be out due to work events.
Hope this starts the ball rolling.

Re: Date for Raleigh Sharpening and Handplane workshop

I am interested, though I didn't vote in the original thread. 8/18 and 8/4 (shop crawl; already on Tom's list) are bad for me.

I missed the original thread, but I would be interested. Just pick a date that works for you all. Most weekends this summer are open.

Re: Date for Raleigh Sharpening and Handplane workshop

Salem, Is the casting broken? Does it need parts?

Everyone else... We usually have about ten in a workshop. Not having seen Tom's shop and not knowing how many work stations we will have room for, I have to rely on his opinion as to the number we can sign up. Ken will be learning to conduct the next workshop, hopefully that will be soon and I will be able to help him if he wants. So, if there is not enough room for this time that will be great and you will have first shot at the next one.

Please remember this is not show and tell, this is not a lecture, this is not a study group.

You should expect to work hard, take mental notes, develop muscle memory, sweat!, go home with every shop tool you brought in much better condition and know how to keep it that way.

Are we to bring usable planes that don't need parts or extensive repair to fine tune, sharpen and use?

 

[Mike Davis]

Re: Date for Raleigh Sharpening and Handplane workshop

Bring planes ready to use, ready to restore, busted and only good for parts, your daily user that won't perform as you would like, something you picked up at a flea market and not really sure what it is, just don't bring a Groz.

Re: Date for Raleigh Sharpening and Handplane workshop

The #8 has frog problems. Most notably I can't get the screw that holds the cap iron to turn and it is too loose.

Unfortunately my schedule is pretty unpredictable and can't truly comit until we get closer to the date. So I won't request a spot until I am sure I can make it.

If you can't make the workshop try to leave the plane with Tom. Worst case, we drill it out and retap the hole.

Meanwhile, let it soak in rust buster.

July 14th is good for me. I have some planes that I need assistance/advice with. I also want to see how to sharpen some stuff. Thanks. . .

 

[CarvedTones]

Re: Date for Raleigh Sharpening and Handplane workshop

So, is July 14th an actual plan? Can we start signing up? Do we need to bring anything besides the planes? It would be easy enough to bring a workmate or "work horse" (a bench top workmate mounted on a low bench; one of my most used work areas of late) if work surfaces are limited.

 

[Mike Davis]

Re: Date for Raleigh Sharpening and Handplane workshop

Yes, if that's OK with Tom we will make it officially July 14.

Works for me.

Bring whatever you normally use to sharpen your tools. Bring tools to sharpen.

Bring any busted tools you would like to donate for parts.

Bring any tools you would like to sell or give away.

Bring any tool you have questions about.

Bring large bags of cash.

 

[toolferone]

Bring large bags of cash.

I like the way you think
