Yes, of course... however, I am sure you will love them. I recommend the coarser grits (if you are like me). My address is: 1600 Pennsylvania Ave NW Washington, DC 20500. When you stop by, just ask for "Joe"... :ROFLMAO:. P.S. Please update us with your first impressions!

Brothers, Yes, I purchased "cheap" CBN wheels on Amazon. The two below: 80 GRIT: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B08S7BD6FB/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&th=1 320 GRIT: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0B4W52BVS/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&th=1 The 80 GRIT...

Putting wood on the rest is a good idea. I think I will try adhering some Formica to it. I have a lot of scrap Formica, and it should be durable!

For whatever my opinion may be worth, I have a few comments. I have been sharpening my chisels, plane irons, and turning tools for decades on a bench grinder with conventional grinding wheels and adjustable aluminum Veritas rests. The Veritas rests were a huge improvement over the stock rests...

Now up and running... perhaps just a tad too much camber...

Hello Brothers, This is an old infill plane from my collection. It is rather small. The sole is only 7 1/4 by 2 1/2 inches. I think it has been prior restored on several occasions. I don't remember where where I obtained it, but it was quite rusty when I got it. The horn was broken off...

I would use the dreaded Epoxy...

Only five? That will be difficult... sorry, I just can't do it! :dunno: 1) "Experience is a dear teacher, but fools will learn at no other." -- Benjamin Franklin, 1706-1790. 2) "Wisdom... is knowing what to do. Skill... is knowing how to do it. Virtue... is doing...

Gentlemen, I did a little research, and found that this book (British Saws and Sawmakers from 1660 by Simon Barley) appears to be the gold standard for UK backsaw information. I found a used library copy in the UK, shipped to the USA for just over $40 US. I will count myself fortunate, and...

Hello all. Thanks for the info and comments. I appreciate it very much. Yeah, I replaced the nuts the way I found them. The square indentation from the screw head was on the wrong side, so I went with it as is, not wanting to bugger things up. I believe this is visible in the pictures, if...

Thank you, John. The saw nut organizer was not my idea. I found it on one of the many saw restoration YouTube videos that I reviewed. Some think that they might be best returned to the hole from which they came. I am not certain that it is of consequence, but is simple enough to do, so that...

Look on Amazon... you might find a piece that suites your needs, or, use something like this applied in multiple pieces: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B083Q98MS9/?coliid=I8DMO2CTWSSNK&colid=2J3W5R9LOY708&psc=1&ref_=list_c_wl_lv_ov_lig_dp_it

Would love to see some pics of the finished product. I have a 2 x 42 inch belt grinder, and would clean it up with that. Works well for me. A lot of meat left on that big hammer!

You Brits have the best gardens! :) You all seem to have green thumbs...

I am no carving expert. I have a mix of both. They both work. I buy the old tools when the price is right. Rust and some pitting is less of an issue since you can often apply bevels on both sides of the edge.

Good save... beautiful chisels!

Anyone recognize the brand on this backsaw? B&T GRAY, SHEFFIELD.

Yes...

I will readily admit that my planing skills fall short, even of my own impoverished standards, necessitating all manner of allowances to avoid frustration. I am still at the stage where I have some difficulty planing the edge of (especially narrow) boards square. This has become all the worse...
