I guess I'm on my own here. Hopefully, it all works out. I'll document my progress in case anyone else out there attempts the same.

I attached a short piece of 2-1/2" hose and put a 2-1/2" to 4" adapter on the end of it. I hook up my 4" dust collector hose to that. It works well. I still have some dust in the floor under the saw, but it gets the majority of it.

What you see in the floor is probably 6-8 months worth of dust.

Jim, I have a number of infills, some with adjusters, most without. I don't try to hit anything to back out the iron, I loosen the clamp, then back out the iron with my hand, then slowly move it forward with taps from a brass hammer. If I go too far, I repeat the process. I have a few I bought with front bun problems, one was cracked, one was worn down a lot, and one had ridges, all clearly from being hit - so that kept me away from hitting the front bun. Some say that infills with adjusters have no real advantage over ones without, I say try to back out the iron a few thousands a few times, and see if you don't prefer the adjusters. I do have one plane without an adjuster that I made a snecked iron for - it is pretty easy to do, and that allows you to use a hammer to retract the iron slightly. BTW, I haven't seen one with a cracked body from using a hammer to adjust it, but if you hit the front bun or the rear handle with a hammer, or even a wooden mallet, I think that can end poorly over time. Hope you enjoy your infills, I love mine.

It looks about right for a hewing hatchet. I have a similar one from my grandfather. While axes/hatchets came in many different configurations, the axes generally had a much beefier head, especially in the eye and poll area.

All wall anchors have weight ratings. I would recommend building the frame with the mirror installed into it with the properly rated picture hanging wire on the back and two wall anchors in the wall to distribute the weight.

I once made new handles for a 50 year old wheel barrow, after the fact I planned the old handle it was......Bubinga.

Nice idea. I'd just get a coiled cord somewhere to provide the slack. Ideally it would be coiled USB cord. The real problem comes if you have more than 1 device and/or more than 1 connector style.

I had actual people call me even after I put my number on the do not call list. They persisted on calling me all hours of the day & night.
I finally took care of them once & for all.
I'd see their number on the caller ID & blow a police whistle as loud as I could directly into the phone when I answered it.
After 3 or 4 times of doing that, the calls magically stopped. Someone told me that was illegal & I told them they were full of chit because I can do anything I want when someone else calls me. Now if I call someone else & I blow a whistle into the phone, that's illegal.

Not even a "Gee, I don't know."???

Caster everything.
