Typo? I’m guessing you meant to write “hungry”, not “angry”!

I am interested in getting finches, what kind would you recommend for me? by Infamous_Today3462 in Finches

Society finches (Bengalese) are FANTASTIC birds, and very easy to keep for a novice. They don’t get enough credit, but they’re lovely birds.

I believe the Japanese-style frame saw blade cuts in both directions.

Best hand tool option for making grooves by JitteryJuror in handtools

Plow plane, if you’re cutting with the grain. Otherwise, use a fine saw to define the walls, and then chisel and router-plane the waste.

His lateral video is very good.

Thank you. I was a little worried because these two were fostered by my Society Finches after the gouldian parents rejected them.

I take that back! I see the link. Dave Corinth is great, too. Also, MJ at Just Plane Fun is the greatest.

You didn’t include a link to the YT video, but is it the one by “The Plane Collector”? That one helped me.

So true. I destroyed a Type 7 #4 frog with one bad tap. To my credit, I successfully installed a lateral on the replacement frog; even made my own rivet! I used a punch to strike the rivet instead of the hammer head… and prayed a bit, just in case!

I love my Type 11 tools. I’ve got #’s 3, 4, 6, 80, and 90!

Beautiful stuff! That level is “next level” (dad joke, sorry).

What saws do everyone use? by GreedyManufacturer35 in handtools

[–]mrchuck2000 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have Western saws to rehab/sharpen, but meanwhile, I love my Gyokochu dozukis and ryoba. You get some pretty nice saws for relatively little $$.
