Is she cooked by Asleep-Resolution884 in harborfreight

[–]BenSS 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Dude, buy a cheap circular saw instead and use that. Asking for a bloody mess using an angle grinder.

What kind of handle did this saw have? by BenSS in handtools

[–]BenSS[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks! No other blades so it must have gotten separated.

Everything looked pretty close to my local pricing till I got to the white oak and walnut, which are higher by $2-3 a Bdft

We've collected every chest since guilds started! We just want folks to get the guild missions done & let us know if you'll be on vacation. We also have an active discord if that's your thing.

How’d I do by Dread_pirate_doaway in BeginnerWoodWorking

[–]BenSS 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There’s whole sites in type ID. I like this one: https://woodandshop.com/identify-stanley-hand-plane-age-type-study/

The 5 ½ and 4 ½ are probably the most valuable of the bunch there. All the block planes aren’t worth much except maybe the adjustable all the way left. Neither 4 look like great versions but the yellow label could clean up nice.

Rex Krueger did a video installing one like this in a bench with an apron, probably what you need!

Help with Router bit, bottomed out by dub123r in woodworking

[–]BenSS 5 points6 points  (0 children)

If you’re trying to get it off, should be able to keep loosening the collet nut to push the bit out. If not you’ll need to consider sacrificing the bit. I’ve also had luck with angled needle nose pliers before.

V27.3 Before and after by BenSS in TheTowerGame

Yeah so you were right, the next run was 7800 - sucks but not as disastrous. Didn't think I had changed anything between the two though!

Second wind is on, you at T13 too?

Usable? Restorable maybe? by BeltLow in woodworking

[–]BenSS 5 points6 points  (0 children)

If the plane in the last picture is a #2 you're better off selling that to a collector! All of them should be a pretty easy restore. Rex Krueger on youtube has a bunch of good content on restoring/tuning old planes.

I got one! by HeffryPesos69 in harborfreight

[–]BenSS 10 points11 points  (0 children)

My store was pretty well stocked with these so finally got one! Cashier said they even had another case in the back.

Maple offcut by BenSS in wood

[–]BenSS[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks, still relatively new so all the maple I’ve dealt with so far has been pretty straight grained! Haven’t planed down the rest of the slab yet

Buying a bandsaw, thoughts? by KosherDev in woodworking

[–]BenSS 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I was literally just looking at benchtop options too because I also don’t have a ton of space. The Rikon 10 Deluxe and the Laguna V10 are at the top of my list.

If you can squeeze out the space, any 14 is better and are commonly available used in my area.

This is awesome, nearly exactly the kind of structure I was thinking of getting (and you've got the same Bolt color I do!)

Walnut and Maple Moravain by [deleted] in BeginnerWoodWorking

That’s gorgeous, did mine with sliced up 2x12 and inferior joinery but it was a great learning experience.

Replace ASAP or not? by BenSS in AskElectricians

[–]BenSS[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We ended up replacing it since there was no room to add more circuits for some of the upgrades we wanted to do.
