    The blades for a 12.5 inch delta planner are two sided and are designed to be disposable. Is it possible to buy blades that can be sharpened but are still "easy" to install?

    I have a cheap bench grinder I’ve never used but would like to get it working with the tool stand I bought. Do I need to dress the wheels before first use or is that only required when it becomes rounded through use?

    Build a sharpening jig that's great for sharpening chisels or a wood plane blade. I need to sharpen almost all of my chisels and plane blades, so I've decided to make this simple sharpening jig to streamline and improve the process.

    I was convinced after reading a Woodsmith article that sandpaper sharpening would probably be the best method for me. The one thing bugging me is when I remove an old piece of self adhesive sandpaper from the glass it leaves a lot of residue. I've tried several solvents with little success...

    After doing a search and browsing through previous threads on this topic, it seems this issue skirts the edge of civilized discussion and is akin to other taboo topics such as politics or religion. Not looking to start The Great Debate, but I need some direction here. I'm essentially starting...

    I don't do a lot of woodworking (wish I had more time!). But I do need sharp tools. I doubt that I would ever get to the place where I could put a good edge on plane irons and chisels without some jig. Any thoughts on this wheel? From my research, it looks like it runs at a good slow speed...

    Hello All, I made this video a couple of months ago. It seems to get views pretty steadily, so that might mean it is of some use to fellow woodworkers! I live far from any city, so it is a pain to send knives out to get sharpened or go buy new knives. I found a guy on the internet...

    Hi All, I am new to the forum and only been wood working for a couple of years as a hobby. I read on a blog today about using sharpening stones without lubricant and I was curious on what others thought about this. Here's the blog: http://www.fullchisel.com/blog/?p=4015&cpage=1 I use water...

    Hey Guys, I am trying to make a scratch stock beading tool and I can't seem to get the blades right. I picked up some steel at my local lowes and filed a simply bead into it. My issue is that it is not sharp enough to cut. I've been watching all these vidoes on them and it just shaves the...

    I'm looking to purchase sharpening stones and like the idea of dual sided stones. DMT has dual sided Dia stones (continuous diamond surface as opposed to diamond and ceramic), but they're only 6X2 inches. Is that sufficient for sharpening chisels, planes, drawing blades... The bigger stones I'm...

    Hi, Can anyone tell me if there is a reason not to use the Craftsman black Aluminum Oxide grinding wheel that is sold at Sears for $7.99 instead of the white Norton one that's $20? I'm new to woodturning and trying to sort everything out, but I couldn't see a significant difference between the...
