I am selling a big mix of hard to find veneer. I have cherry crotches, a huge lot of quilted cherry, quilted big leaf maple, plum pudding Honduran mahogany and some highly figured Movingui. I am having issues attaching images so if you are interested message me with a phone number or email address and I can send photos. I also have veneer softener veneer tape and veneer glue to go with it. It is a lot of veneer. It is well over 100 sf of veneer. $100 for everything.

This 10.25in by 2.75in bowl features the Ohio State University "O" cut from Padauk inlayed in the bottom of a piece of Honey Locust. 4 segmented Locust rings with a Padauk rim make up the sides. The bowl is finished with Acrylic Enamel and polished with Ack's Woodpaste. A flaw near the woods pith opened up into a crack during the inlay process, it was stabilized and filled with glue.

"Free 14” DeWalt radial arm saw. Yes, it does work, though I think it needs a capacitor. I have to push the blade with a stick to get it moving, then it runs great. I’m moving soon and it needs a new home.

Please call Matt at 7oh7-5two9-32four0

You help me get it out of my garage/ I help you load it"

I was at a garage sale a while ago and picked up four chisels marked "Sterling Service".  Largest is about 2" wide and the smallest is probably 1/2" wide.  A couple handles need replacement (could they be hickory), and they have a little pitting in spots.  

They came with 3 very cheap black plastic Stanley chisels, and all were in a usable canvas roll.

I paid $15.00 which I thought was a good deal.  Family was happy they were going to someone who appreciated them.

I see very little of that name online. If you care to share any info about them, I would appreciate it.

Has anybody ever heard of them, if so are they any good?

Thanks

Just because you have been told something long enough doesn't make it true. The world is not flat so you can't fall off the end of the known world.

1. Because of the design of the frog on a Bailey designed plane, the frog moves forward and backwards on corresponding seats.

     

   

The beauty of the design is,  hypothetically speaking,  the the two machines seats on the plane body correspond to the two machined surfaces or the frog and the distance is the same at any given point, so that no matter where the frog is positioned when moving forward or backward, the distance between the two mating surfaces remain the same. I say hypothetically because there is always tolerances in machining so it may or not be a prefect
rectangle.

2. Carbide inserted cutters or a jointer or planner are considered by most to be a must have option on that type of a machine. How ever it has come to attention a lot of people that tightening the inserts as tight as one can get them is resulting in a lot of broken inserts. The wedging effect of the flat head screws is expanding the inserts and cause the insert to brake. And by torqueing the insert to a specific foot pounds, the insert breakage can be eliminated. Okay so what are you saying? I am saying that just because it is possible to over tighten something doesn't mean it is necessary to do so.

It is said that a frog needs to be fastened to the body when flattening so that the screws don't distort the body of the plane. The thinnest part where the the screw goes through the frog and the thickest part is of the plane body is where the taped hole is. To put it bluntly, if you think you can distort a plane body by torqueing a screw with a screw driver then maybe you should rethink your position. Just because you have been told something like the world is flat doesn't make it true.

3, On a hand plane the cutting force wants to push the blade back. Science says for every action there is a reaction. The hand pushes the plane blade into the wood being cut. But the resistance of the wood not wanting to be cut pushes the blade back. Also the wood being cut rises in the cut therefore pushing the blade back down against the frog. So the cutting force or splitting force of the wood being cut or split is down against the blade and back toward the frog.

4. On a table saw it is always a good idea to use a push block, or push stick, when ripping a piece of wood. Most push sticks have a little something that hooks over the end of the board so that when a board can no longer be pushed by the hand it can still be fed passed the blade. It takes a little downward pressure to keep the board flat on the table, but not as much as the pressure required to complete the cut on the board.

5. The frog adjusting screw is able to move the frog forward or backwards because of the little piece screwed on the back of the frog which, by the way, takes all of the cutting force ( resistance to being cut) away and the amount of pressure that the screws need to hold the frog down is minimal. All that the screws that hold the frog down in place is minimal.

6. So what are you saying? I am saying is tat all you need to do is to tighten down the frog retaining screw tight enough so that the frog can't be lifted up , but can still be moved forward or backward with the frog adjusting. I move my frog once in a blue mood so I am not going the wear out the adjusting screw or the threaded hole .Just tight ant over tight on the screws.

FOR the RECORD, The cutter can be advanced forward or backwards on a Bailey plane without removing the lever cap or blade and chip beaker or making any adjustments because it moves on a parallel design. With the Bedrock flat top design the cutter can be moved forward or backwards but still the cutter has to be readjusted. 

I conclusion every body know that the Lever Cap  and blade assemble needs to be remover to get excess the the frog screws on a Baily plane and that the Bedrock is far superior because every one has been told often enough by people that it is so. The Bedrock design which says the design is better is only better because marketing says so. 

I have proved over and over to myself that the Baily design works and I hope you try out what I have written. And just because it can be tightened enough so no one including yourself can loosen it is not always the thing to do. Sometimes just tight enough to do the job is good enough.

Both plane have a few blemished on the body. I had a roof leak and and had some moisture damage before I caught it. No need to comment on the roof or moisture damage what little there is. 

First up is a Bailey 4 1/2 type 12. To my understanding, the difference  between a type 11 and a type 12 is the 12 has a high knob. I really do not care about types so I never looked into types, but some do so I mention it because of the high knob.

The plane has ben precision ground and was flat within .001 when ground. The plane is probably at least 100 years old and the casting stress is pretty much been relieved so it is probably still flat with in .001 or better. It has been stripped and repainted The knob and tote are both rose wood and have been refinished. The knob has a opts as can be seen in a picture. The blade has also been touch upped reground so there is no pitting at the blade and it need no or very little flattening. 

The frog has a solid face as can be seen in the photos and it is a sought after plane because there is no side play at the front of the frog making it easier to adjust the blade side to side. The blade is sharp but can probably use tune up.  This was my user until I got a Keen Kutter K4 1/2

It is ready to work right out of the box.

Asking $130 plus shipping. Any way pictures. I do like the first picture to show it completely apart so no struck parts are hidden. One can see the reflection of the spot on the table on the actual surfaces of the plane. and the end of the lateral adjuster is broken off.

   

   

   

   

   


Next up is a Bailey #5 Not sure as to the type but it has a Pat date of Apr-19-10. The plane has also been precision ground and is flat within .001 or better. The body has ben stripped and repainted. The knob and tote are rosewood. The edge of the blade needs touched up. 

All in all the #5 is probably the most sold size of plane made, A jack of all planes. It is just an over all and around a good plane to have. Camber the blade and you have  plane that will also function as a smoother. Again
close fitting frog at the front.

Don't know what else to say except asking $110 plus shipping. Or $230 for both and they both will ship in the same box.

   

   

   

   

   

Thanks for looking

Got one you want to sell?  PM if so.

This is kind of Power Tool related......

I'm going to buy a couple of 80mm, 24v cooling fans for the enclosure that houses the VFD for my Dewalt GA radial arm saw - a first rodeo for me. Did some cursory research and it seems a couple of important factors are ball bearings and the quietness of the fans. Prices on these items on Amazon are all over the board and there are many brands to choose from.


Looking for recommendations/suggestions from those who've been down this path before.

Thanks,

Doug
