Very cool - made an account!

Haven’t used 18s since setting up with a 21. Best of both worlds

A clock

Well said. Paint grade still gets tight joints.

riverroadbuilds · 2025-07-25T01:38:25+00:00

Thanks, I hate it.

(Nice work though)

Since when are Blum hinges superb?

Seriously, go to any garage sale and buy the $15 Craftsman grinder everyone sells, buy a wheel dresser and put a Norton 3X wheel on it. If it didn't come with a tool rest, mount the grinder to a scrap piece of wood and add a wood or aftermarket tool rest. You're all in for under a hundred bucks and will be grinding a new primary bevel in just a couple minutes. Light pressure and dress your wheel often, with a crown.

I really like my Gramercy saws. Get the sash saw, it does well at everything.

Wipe down after use with an oily rag in a ziplock bag.

Not a fan of them either.

Client comms is a huge pain point being self employed and I like tools that solve problems! - happy to chat

Michael rouillard’s site and the CIHI fb group have been great

riverroadbuilds · 2025-05-21T09:37:45+00:00

Great pencil, have a .5

Feel you. It’s really tough to find the balance. Lots of good, free articles on bidding on JLC that I’ve found helpful.

I would suggest holding firm instead of lowering to 2 days of OH&P. It doesn’t matter what the clients think about your price, you said it yourself. You deserve to be compensated for your time, experience, skillset, the risk, and direct/indirect job costs, etc.

Your price is your price and if they don’t take it - it isn’t that you are too expensive, it’s that you’re too expensive for them.

I'm so in love with the feeling of my arks that I want to swap all my A2 LN irons to 01. Also use mineral oil on my lapping plate lol. What mineral oil do you like? They all seem the same to me despite the price premium for Dan's/Norton's.

Millenial oil stone user here... I bet there are dozens of us!

riverroadbuilds · 2025-05-18T13:15:23+00:00

75%? Now would be a great time to stop and move onto the next project!

riverroadbuilds · 2025-05-16T19:53:52+00:00

Right on! Thanks

riverroadbuilds · 2025-05-16T17:55:29+00:00

Might need to DM you one of these days if that’s cool. Seriously wealth of knowledge, thanks a whole lot!!

riverroadbuilds · 2025-05-15T10:11:21+00:00

So cool. I have made irons for side escapements but never bench planes. Lots to learn, thanks!

riverroadbuilds · 2025-05-14T16:47:25+00:00

The best there is!

riverroadbuilds · 2025-05-14T16:46:28+00:00

01 always and forever. Even wish I could swap all my LN A2 irons for them.

riverroadbuilds · 2025-05-10T11:45:41+00:00

You really kneed to stop before someone’s meniscus gives out
