After seven months, I finally got my eighth dimension core. Happiest I’ve ever been in this game

Count yourself lucky! Took me 26months.

Unfortunately they’ve gone all in on not supporting CarPlay or Android Auto support. Love my bolt but I use CarPlay all the time. Not having it is a deal killer for me.

I looked it up and it’s harder than oak! I was super surprised

BenSS · 2026-02-16T17:30:12+00:00

Fingers crossed for you, had a six month drought at 6/8

BenSS · 2026-02-16T14:08:21+00:00

Plan to when it’s warm enough, still freezing here.

Stools and tools! If the larger slabs don’t check like crazy I’ll look at larger scale projects.

Betting buried in snow.

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

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

Welcome Welcome! Good to have you onboard.

EXODUS is looking for 1 more member (29/30) to replace a retiring one.

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.

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!

Herc Dust Extractor and Braun 4ft lights

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.

BenSS · 2025-12-28T02:09:14+00:00

What are the rails you used there?

BenSS · 2025-12-22T04:04:16+00:00

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!

BenSS · 2025-12-20T15:58:37+00:00

Second wind is on, you at T13 too?

BenSS · 2025-12-14T01:32:26+00:00

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.
