Looks like there was a crack on the handle that was repaired.  There is also a chip on the blade, which is a Stanley blade.  There is a number stamped into the side.

  FS- calipers and dividers
Posted by: H.O.P.S. - 09-15-2023, 02:47 PM - Forum: Tool Swap N' Sell - No Replies

A pair of small outside calipers and a pair of small dividers. No name that I can see on either of them, but they seem well-built. 
Does $10 plus shipping sound fair?

  Stanley #12 For Sale
Posted by: SheriDi - 09-14-2023, 02:30 PM - Forum: Tool Swap N' Sell - No Replies

I have a boat-load of hand tools I need to pass on to someone who will use them as arthritis has made it difficult to use them. It's been awhile since I purchased these so I don't really know if my prices will be in the ballpark. If they are not, let me know.  Let me know if you are looking for something in particular.

Paypal or Zelle ships within 2 business days.  Checks ship when check clears.

I'll start with this Stanley #12 which is in need of a little TLC.  It includes a Hock blade.  $75 shipped to CONUS.

  Have you ever been defeated by wood movement?
Posted by: FS7 - 09-13-2023, 08:27 PM - Forum: Woodworking - Replies (14)

A year and a half ago my neighbors (friends of mine) asked for a dining table in cherry. They didn't want anything fancy - just a simple design, roughly 4' square. I did edge-glued 6/4 panels on top with breadboard ends. The wood was dry (7%) and everything was perfect when it left the house. The humidity in my house is fairly constant for what it's worth. It went literally one mile up the road to their house, where it expanded apparently more than the figure 8 fasteners could take. The breadboard ends are much narrower, and the top is slightly warped on one end (having broken the loose tenon, perhaps). They don't care and have been using it daily, but it bothers me every single time I'm there.

I allowed for something like 3/8" of expansion. I thought cherry was pretty stable. I have done breadboard ends in walnut (just fine, never really moved in NJ) and in sapele here (might move about 1/32" or less over the year). I am still surprised that their house is that much more humid than mine. It's entirely possible they left it wet or something, but I still find it extremely frustrating.

  Attaching Table Top
Posted by: Mr Eddie - 09-12-2023, 10:39 PM - Forum: Woodworking - Replies (11)

I am trying to finish up a small bed side table for my wife.  The size is 16" x 21".  I'm curious what methods you have used to attach the top to the base?  Especially interested if you have tried different methods and what you finally settled on.

   

   

Still have to trim the top, add edge beading and string the drawers.

  Miter Saw Dust Collection Question
Posted by: David Stone - 09-11-2023, 08:11 PM - Forum: Woodworking Power Tools - Replies (14)

I’m building a miter station. For dust collection, I thought of putting one of these dust hoods in the shelf that the saw sits on, so there is a big vacuum port/down draft behind the saw, attached to a shop vac. (Like a drop-in sink.)

Will this work? Or is the suction not strong enough?

  How would you lay out these curves?
Posted by: ®smpr_fi_mac® - 09-11-2023, 05:58 PM - Forum: Woodworking - Replies (15)

Here's the table my wife wants me to build for her...it's only taken a decade to get her to choose one!

I've already figured out the joinery connecting the semi-circles to the leg assemblies--floating tenons with drawbores for the clamping forces.  The semi-circles aren't load bearing, so the grain orientation isn't likely to cause any real troubles, but I'm thinking that each semi-circle should instead be made from three sections, which will allow the grain to flow a little better around the curves.  Final shape would be cut with template routing after gluing up the sections. 

What do you think?
