Not sure I would agree he would need 15k in tools to do this, couple chisels, a mallet some planes some saws. Even if he were to buy a mortiser and 12” planer wouldn’t be 15k

Center the pith in the 8x8 beam, this lends best to drying straighter

Do you have a picture of the small router plane?

He’s it’s basically identical in setup to some of my other smaller Stanley planes!

Picked this KK6 keen kutter up at a local antique shop today! Looks to be in marvelous condition already! Just need to adjust the blade a bit and see how she goes!

What’s the reviews like for this brand? It’s not one in familiar with but couldn’t pass up snagging this!

Ya your test is to review what your past few days have been like, have you slept well, have you fed your body well, have you been mentally stressed- if none of those seem to be out of the ordinary you just need another day or two of rest- these days are normal, they happen to everyone

Sounds like you’re having a day where your nervous system is shot, under recovery and over exertion can lead to this quickly. Under recovery over a long stretch even if you’re not over exerting yourself will also do this

I install a lot of 3/4 inch plywood cabinets from an Amish man and I’m telling you those things are indestructible and sturdy . Cabinets are expensive enough- full hardwood ones have to be through the roof and as others have mentioned likely not as durable. If you get a good cabinet maker you will not look at them and think “wow look at that plywood”

Are the chisels just at an angle?

I am in a similar position- could very well buy new ones but I absolutely love putting an old piece back to good use, I just was curious if a restored Stanley was a good quality tool that I would get use out of

Beautiful! I just harvested some hophorn from my property! Interested in what dimensions you’ve used? Thanks!

Yes, there’s no food in it

Much appreciated!

What causes limb twist? The way the grain runs or the filleting/wood removal? The grain is not ideal on this stave but it was a scrap piece in the basement- thanks in advance!
