I finished these just in time for Christmas for 2 new Grandkids born in December. I used some clear 12x1 pine shelving boards that I had on hand collecting dust. The tops are white oak. The plans were in the book "Furniture in the Southern Style" by Bob Lang and Glen Huey. 

   

   

   

   

As this thing has set long enough in the shop...
   
The sole will need sanded clean...
   
Iron is not the "prettiest gal" on the block...
   
Started to give a new edge....

Hardware LOOKS like it was made by Stanley..
   
Will know more once they are polished up...nothing was rusted in place...
Then I place a Stanley No. 80 behind this scraper...
   
And, some things just don't match up....Rusty & Krusty is slightly smaller, and lighter....Hmmmm?

Stay tuned...

Thoughts on buying the jig below. I know, Vevor, right? How bad can it be? OK, maybe I don't want to know the answer to that. I know others make good ones for $600-ish. I also know there are dozens/ hundreds of build your own videos out there. I know myself well enough that I will never spend more than $200 to buy one so those are out. I also know it's unlikely that I'll ever get enough round-to-its saved up to build my own in the foreseeable future. Primary use would be to flatten my workbench top and get rid of some battle scars. 20+ years old and it's due. Secondary, I'd like to have a dedicated jig to flatten the occasional live edge/ wide slab I come across. I'm getting into sawmilling so I see having some nice slabs to flatten down the road. If this thing isn't a total piece of junk I think it's got everything I need (for now) and nothing I don't and the price is worth it to me if it makes the job easier. Thoughts?

And I briefly considered hand planing my bench, but it's laminated beech with zero thoughts given to grain direction when I glued it up. So it's pretty gnarly. I think I would make it worse flattening by hand. I also have some pretty deep dings (~3/16") that I'd like to take out while I'm at it.

I think I'd spend at least this making my own out of 80/20 or similar and like I alluded above, my shop time is limited these days so I'm really leaning heavily toward a pre-made jig.

   

I am selling one of my ACME saw vises, ( I still have two ) This is the one I am currently using. It is the cast iron version. It is plenty heavy, so local pick up s the way to go. I originally had a machinist replace the handle with a steel handle and added a bearing in the pivot point as well as a new set screw, etc.. I dare say it has seen a hundred saws or more.
I also had made a crude pivoting bracket for it to allow slope in both directions. Price? $500.00 for Woodnetters or members of Sawmill Creek. Just trying to lighten the load a bit. Too much "stuff" in this little shop of mine. IO am located in the Edwardsville, IL. area.

I have had a few people inquire about shipping this vise. I am currently looking into shipping it to a gentleman in Pa. who inquired first. This vise alone weighs approx. 60 lbs. Then add the weight of a crate I will have to build. I will up date after I get a chance to crate the vise, and weigh it again. 
Thank you for your interest.

I have a long way to go to get these two planes back into service.  I am not sure if either is complete. One is pretty much complete but the other is not as much all there. Please let me know if I am missing some parts. I would like to get one complete and then sell the other for maybe a plow plane.

   

   

   

   

   

   

Thanks in advance for your help.

Looking for D Handle base for Porter Cable 690 router. I have several 690 model routers, would like to have a second D Handle base. Might also consider a complete 690 router with D handle base in good working condition if the price is right.

I have a new in box Work Sharp WS3000 that I won’t use - I haven’t even opened the box (can take a picture if you want to see a sealed box). It looks like the new price is $229 online, so how does $110 sound? I’m in the Charlotte and don’t think I can ship it.

I have two Delta 40-440 24” scroll saws that need to a new home. I bought these to restore but I am overwhelmed with projects right now and am running out of space. These machines are both in the condition I bought them – no work has been done to them.

They are both variable speed models and single phase. Both have the more stable welded stands. Both motors work. One of them is fully assembled and the other has been partially disassembled by the previous owner. I was assured that all parts are present and accounted for but I have not verified that.

In the interest of moving them along quickly I would like to get $175 for each of them or buy them both for $300. I can assist with delivery in a 100 mile radius of Winston Salem, NC area. I will also be traveling to Tifton GA in late April and cam bring one or both of them along.

Thanks for looking
Rick

   

   

A rainy Saturday,

Catching up on some watch-strap leather work and shoe-heel rubber work.
A nice cutting edge gets 90% of the trimming done,  then I'll move to power sanding equipment.
