Any woodworkers?

Love that smell. Awesome job!

 

Aqua Fortis tests with and without strong tea for the tannic acid content. Heated with radiant heat and then with rubio pure no hardener tests swatches.

 

Should have posted this here among the fellow tool nerds ~

Lee Valley Santa came early to my shop yesterday



sneak peek ~




can't wait to get this set up and try it out

 

That looks… expensive!

 

it was not inexpensive

 

I have that fence and the roller guides. Both are worth the money.

 

I ended up getting the whole Jessem table set up , phenolic 24"x36" table , MastRLift 2 router lift , stand , and MastRFence 3 , roller guides plus some accessories

and a new version Festool Sys Cart

 

I got a Wards Master No. 4 hand plane for 30 yesterday at a flea market. It had never been shapened. Just used till it was duller that it started and left to rust.
Spent about a hour and a half flattening, and sharpening the huge chips out of the blade. It is cutting very well now.
It is still ugly, but it works perfectly.

This Wards Master is a rebadged Stanley.
He had a bunch of old planes, but this was the only one I could really do anything with.

 

That would be good for glue removal on cutting boards

 

I havent found one locally yet. Im on the hunt though

 

is what I use for glue removal

 

Work decent?

 

I think it works excellent!

secure the board down and pull back towards you and it comes off nicely.. obviously don't use a heavy hand as you can gouge the wood. I try to minimize glue removal to begin with by wiping off the squeeze out but there's always going to be some.. knock off the big stuff with the scraper and a trip through the planer and/or drum sander and all is well.

 

Eventually i want a drum sander but havent found a deal yet

 

I just bit the bullet and paid retail for mine. It sucks but so does endless sanding! Flat is better!
