Hello!

I have a bit of an unconventional saw question, considering this is for burning wood and not making something out of it. But, there is a lot or great hand tool knowledge here. I am wanting to cut smaller splits (2" - 3" in diameter) from 12" - 14" long to around 8" for an offset smoker. Any suggestions on what will work well and allow me to hold the split on a stump while cutting?  Thank you!

Hi All,

I haven't really done much woodworking in the last 10 years since the kids were born and I started traveling for work all the time. It seems like these tools should go to people who would use them instead of slowly rusting in my garage. See links below to the Craigslist ads. All in Mission Viejo CA.

I have for sale a vintage Stanley #20 try square in the very useful 8 inch size with rosewood stock. It has been gently reconditioned into a good worker condition, including the edges of the beam have been lightly filed to remove nicks, so you can confidently run your marking knife along its edge without running into burrs. A previous owner bored a hang hole and stamped their initials K.K. on the beam. As you can see in the attached photo, it marks square on both inside and outside edges.


Asking $15 + shipping. Payment via Paypal, Venmo, or Zelle is preferred. Local pickup in the greater Cincinnati area is also an option.

 have for sale a Record 073 rabbet / shoulder plane in beautifully restored condition. This plane had surface rust when I got it about 20 years ago which I completely cleaned up. There is no pitting. Very sharp and ready to clean up tenon faces and shoulders, and cut rebates as you please. It has a wonderful heft in the hand and a joy to use. This is the venerable shoulder plane that Lie-Neilsen patterned their 073 Large Shoulder Plane after, which they sell for $350.

It’s been a faithful occupant of my toolchest, so I hate to part with it but it’s time to thin the herd. Asking $200 + shipping. PM me if you would like additional pictures. Payment via Paypal, Venmo, or Zelle is preferred. Local pickup in the greater Cincinnati area is also an option.

Price reduced to $180 + shipping

I have for sale two Stanley block planes. They are made in England of relatively modern manufacture. The first is a G12-060, which has a 1 3/8” wide iron. The second is a G12-020 which has a 1 5/8” wide iron.

I purchased the G12-020 around 1970 or 1980 at a hardware store in the Dominican Republic. It has been fettled and used regularly as my carpentry block plane. The sole has a few minor scratches along one edge but has recently been lapped so there are no burrs.

I purchased the G12-060 used at a tool swap meet in Atlanta hosted by Highland Woodworking, this was around 1997 or so. I’m guessing this one is in the ‘80s vintage era but I’m just guessing. This one was my primary fine handwork block plan and has been well fettled and sharpened.

Both of these have the lateral adjuster distinctive of these models. Clean planes ready for trimming all your little parts and pieces and creating pretty chamfers on corners all day long. I can provide additional photos for a serious inquirer, just PM me.

Asking $35 for each + shipping. If you want both I’ll do a package deal for $65 + shipping. Payment via Paypal, Venmo, or Zelle is preferred. Local pickup in the greater Cincinnati area is also an option.

Where's the best place to buy bandsaw tires?  Looking for one for a 19" Grizzly/Shop Fox.

These are from the St. Charles IL piano factory.

Posting here because I don't think Fred spends time in the basement. Mods/Admins feel free to move as appropriate.

Anyways, prayers for Fred, his wife and others in the Wapakoneta OH area. A major tornado struck there yesterday. Attempts to contact Fred by text, phone so far today and through another forum have yielded no reply. I'm hoping it's only a power, phoneline, or cell phone tower outage as a result of the storm. However, it appears Fred was 1/2 mile or maybe less from the center of the tornado. I saw a storm chaser video on YouTube last night following the storm. Scary.

I had the privilege to attend a meet and greet day hosted by Fred at his shop a few years back. Also met his wife. Great, hospitable people.

Time & Tung Oil

Quote:Here is a piece that was made in 2018 and has aged beautifully.

"IMMEMORIAL TREE OF LIFE"

This piece is a 15 1/2" D Curly Cherry Platter. Was hand drawn, and lightly hand carved and then the image burned. I'm glad I finish with Tung Oil and dry for several months then did the carving work. then I used Deft sanding sealer then sanded back to 800 grit and hand buffed w/ a cloth. You can see that the lighter section stands out more that was carved after letting the Tung Oil dry, just before this photo was taken after I gave it a wipe of Daddy Vans bees wax and it really POPS! The last photo is what it looked like when I made it in 2018.

I think I am interested in a vacuum pump for my Powermatic lathe.

I know of the advantages and that's about it.  Oh, and continuous run pumps are better.  Where do I get good information?  Obviously building your own saves $$$.  Do the pumps with the "vacuum pots" work for lathes?  As you can see, I have lots of questions.
