  1. Hand Tools
    Hello from the UK! I'm new to the forums but I thought this would be the place to come for knowledge. I'm trying to get a start up going in the cricket bat manufacturing business so I'm building the tool collection slowly, however one of the most important to have is a 'round bottom plane' and...

    Are there projects I could mostly do with hand tools in a small space? I have some health problems and would like to have a project I can do during evenings, where I can sit at a coffee table or on the floor inside. I could make occasional cuts on a table saw in the garage. I might be able to...

    Hi all, I'm a new-ish, all handtools woodworker. I'm in the process of making/designing a cherry coffee table, and wanted to get some feedback to see if it sounded reasonable stability wise. It'll be 36" x 20" and ~18" tall, and have wedged thru tenon legs. I'm going for a modern look...

  6. Hand Tools
    I found this rusty saw at a yard sale over the weekend (for 5 dollars) and was hoping some of you would be able to help me with a few questions I have. I'm not very familiar with this type of saw, having grown up with chainsaws as my family's primary tools for felling trees. One of the teeth is...

    I've reviewed many inquiries on torsion boxes and found no info relating to this particular type of bench build. I built a general use workbench (assembly and outfeed) some time ago using a solid core door with a hardboard top. The frame for this bench was built torsion box style and it is very...

    I am a beginner woodworker looking into getting some real tools for myself. However, I have a $100 USD budget. What hand tools should I absolutely get? (They can be electric if you want to suggest a cheap cordless drill or something.) I already have a decent tape measure, claw hammer, and nails...
  9. Wood Finishing
    Hey folks, I'm making a crib for our inbound new housemate. I have a general design idea in my head, but wanted to some recommendations on the woods. There are two solid end pieces made out of maple (already taken care of). For the sides/railing I'm going to use slats instead of dowels. To...

    First I would like to say that I am NOT a professional framer. If there are any professional framers on here I would like to hear from you. Or anyone else for that matter. I was in Home Depot today and was talking with one of their employees and the conversation turned to, "do you want to see...

    In the very near future, I will have the chance to help restore a condemned brick building. The restoration will be to a first-floor store, and two apartments above. Being a condemned building, access is very simple- walk through the four-foot hole in the side of the building. Therefore, I don't...
  12. Project Showcase
    I've had a desperate need for a while for someplace to store my hand tools (instead of all spread out on benches, shelves, etc..). After looking around at different pictures and plans for chests, I decided to roughly follow this design from Woodsmith Magazine. I've been working off and on for...

    Hello all, another new member here. You'll find me in the joinery, hand tools and milling forums mostly, as I'm a furniture maker who loves hand tools and I also run a lumber yard that harvests urban trees from within New York City. So milling wide slabs, tuning hand tools to work well and...

    I'm working on a box that I want to insert a 16th inch glass pane near the front opening of - but I'm not really sure how one goes about making such a small groove (or really any groove) with hand tools. I know that tongue and groove planes exist, but are so expensive and specialized... is...

    I bought a complete setup for making windsor chairs a few years back. Unfortunately, due to changing circumstances I have never used them. I am looking to sell them to someone who can put them to good use. These tools are of the utmost quality and still brand new. The tools and where I purchased...
