So, turns out I did make a variant for the dovetailjig found on printables.com :) Had a bit of time, and since I only had 12mm square bar, the extra slop on the printables jig which was designed for 1/2" bar stock made fitting it extra fiddly. Also, I wanted one for use with thin stock. Will...

Haven't tried it out yet, but I did print the parts and scrounged the hardware at work. It seems like it is going to work, but the flaps on the rear are in the way of marking the half pins, and for material thinner than 12mm / 0.5" the offset nubs get in the way. Might do an alternative design...

Came across these parts to make a jig to mark out pins on a dovetail joint, the jig itself is handy, I think (haven't tried it yet), but what makes it extra interesting is the fact that he included a little offset. It is a workalike of Rob Cosmans "Shawn Shim" method (albeit with a single...

Very nice! That is one chunky casting, look at the thickness on the sides of that thing!

At work, we direct 3d print tungsten, not particularly cheap, or light :D Strong though.

Same here, when I bought the printer, there where a couple of "must have" upgrades according to the Internet, so I bought stiffer bed springs, a different tube, a metal extruder. All still in their respective packaging. The printer just works assembled out of the box. For me, a must have was an...

Depends, I think one can use pretty soft rubber materials with resin 3d printing, but fdm (with filament) usually is incapable of printing really soft materials. But if the light has some things to hang on to, one could design something with snap fingers to mount.

I have seen the toaster or kettle argument a few times now, but the conclusion is that household appliances like that use an insane amount of energy, not that hydro is not worth it because it cannot power a toaster (which it can given enough battery capacity). If you can use it for a bit of...

Interesting, certainly interested in the files.

How often do you need them? How long are you onboard? Maybe just take a few extras? If taken care of, and used well, they don't wear out THAT quickly.

Out of curiosity, I did a course on Domestika, and that maker also used Odie's oil, had never heard of it, but there are some alternatives which are lower cost, and a few which are even more expensive. Apparently you only need a little, so a little pot goes a long way. I found this video...

You probably know this, but I think those chinese Stanleys are all metric, so not sure how easy or hard it is to replace anything but a plane iron.

Engineers that use M3.5 mounting materials in designs should be taken out back and..... If it is metric, it is probably M4, standard lengths are 12,16,20,25,30 But I would say, based on the picture, M3 is more logical as it is screwed in quite thin material, and the smaller pitch of M3 would...

10$ a month certainly is something to think about, so I'll certainly reconsider when it comes to that in NL, but at 3 EUR, I am not complaining. Saw that chinese Bridge City clone as well, I think it still is very expensive, but that is what you get from designing and producing a product in...

Out of curiosity, what is the monthly cost of Prime in the US? Over here (NL) it is 3 euros a month, which is a no brainer (IMHO) for Prime Video and free shipping. We also have Disney+ from when the kids where a bit smaller, but that's 8 euros a month, and the kids have seen everything already...

Do you leave the side skates on all the time? Seems they are in the way of properly holding it, and are useful only in a few very specific cases? I believe this plane was also in the chopstick making and pencil making kits (and can imagine it is useful when making kumiko, about to butcher a...

Yes, well, I am not holding my breath until the Stanley 194 and 195 are on the top of everyone's "want" list because all of a sudden they turn out to be incredibly practical :D

Jeah, there was a discussion on this plane on a dutch forum as well, in the video Katz Moses mentions he worked a long time on it, but indeed tis but another Chinese plane. It is also very expensive to buy in Europe when compared to US, so the thing Katz-Moses has been working so hard and long...

Don't agree on the extreme engineering statement regarding Bridge City, that's not proper engineering. That plane and smaller one is usable, but has a lot of features that are not supporting the basic functionality of a plane. Too many screws which tend to loosen. Anodised aluminium which is...
