Hello! I have some mildew spots staining a few things like the legs of my work bench, etc. Any tips on how to remove the stains short of sanding?

Thank you.

I had picked up a small piece of dried wood with spalting at our local turners club some time last year, and finally got around to finding a bowl inside it today.

   

There are many issues with this bowl, but I'm liking it.  Watch & pocket knife for scale.

I recently acquired a Stanley #1. I bought it at auction, on-line. I knew it was in the lot of 7 planes because I went to the inspection but the auction house had no clue or any of the bidders either based on the price I paid. I have no intention of keeping it but am wondering if a should do a full tune up, light cleaning, or leave it as/is for the buyer. Any advise would be appreciated.

The Clamper......can come in handy as a ferrule for lathe tools, chisels, file handles, etc...Good for bushcrafting also..It may be possible to use a very hard exotic wood for the main body of the tool..

Hello All,

I blew out the bottom tire on my bandsaw so I bought two new ones as they came together in the same package. The top tire seems to be ok. My guess is I should switch out both tires to avoid any issues but does only changing out the bottom tire make sense? The two new tires and the existing tires are both the same color (caution orange) and side by side, they appear to be be the same.

Thanks

Started on a Dutch tool chest with poplar, so far its going good.  My first time hand cutting dovetails.  I wound up with 1 pin that I'm not satisfied with, I will have to cut a sliver and plane it flush to hide the gap.  So far it's been a fun project using clout nails and hide glue to hold it all together. The Lie Nielsen no 48 is probably the neatest tool I own, hoping they get the 49s in this spring so I can do 1/2" T&G on furniture backs.  Stuck until I can get some appropriate screws in for the battens on the fall front and some strap hinges for this lid.  It will have to sit until next weekend.

Over the years my collection of caving tools has grown. Now that I have too many in-tool roles I need to come up with a better system. My thoughts are something like two haves hinged like a book (so I can stand them up) with tools on each side. This way I can put the back in draws when not in use. Any other ideas?  I may also decide to do this with chisels.

I made a chess board for a grandson. I have turned the chess pieces out of maple and cherry. I put 4 coats of my go to mix on. [watco natural oil, denatured alcohol and shellac] I sealed with sanding sealer and  I sanded between each coat. The maple looks great but the cherry looks to me awful. All the pieces came out of the same piece of wood but the colors are all over the place. I don't feel like making another set. Do you know of suggestions short of paint for clearing these up.
By the way he's 9 and can kick me into next week on the game and a lot of other people also. Yea that was bragging!!!!

I am offering a somewhat rare Walker Turner Foot Feed assembly. This came off of a 15” model 1200 machine. All components are present and accounted for except the upper gear guard and its commonly available hardware. This would be easy to ship with the exception of the long rod – I don’t believe there is anything special about it and I would assume it could be procured locally.

I am completely in the dark regarding value – I couldn’t find any record of previous sales of this foot feed. As a result I am asking $425 but I am certainly o[pen to reasonable offers/discussion of price.

Please feel free to ask for additional information/pictures.

Thanks for looking
Rick
