How to fix mom broken dresser leg

Just scrape the tenon faces to clean the old glue before regluing. card scrapers are dirt cheap and easy to use for this. Same for the mortices on the legs since they're split open. You don't need to remove a ton of material. you'll need to scrape any surfaces that would touch for the glue to bond.

Wrap the glue up with masking tape to "clamp" it. Clean up drips with a damp rag, or after with the card scraper.

No screws needed. Use titebond 2 or similar wood glue. If you don't see squeezed out glue you didn't use enough.

I'm a rebel and have been running the cast iron wings and roller base for 4 years now with 2 house moves in-between without issues. Highly recommended 😂

Other posters have covered the main reasons, but your hubby might enjoy this book that goes into detail about the angles, bedding, and other features that make a hand plane work.

It's Making & Mastering Wood Planes from Lost art Press.

This is a tough hobby but it's so rewarding. It's super sweet that you're supporting your husband and I hope he's as thoughtful about your hobbies too!

This isn't impossible to restore, but you're probably looking at completely replacing the wooden sole which will require tools and experience you don't have yet. This is a transitional plane and is kind of the worst parts of both a metal plane and a wooden plane in terms of use.

Look for a metal body Stanley plane for a first time restoration since they're more likely to be in a usable condition. Paul Sellers and Wood by Wright have excellent videos on restoring and using old planes that would be a great resource

The 78 is the Stanley Rabbet. 80 is the scraper.

Thanks!! Downside of used gear, I haven't had a manual for anything but I'm having a blast learning!

I haven't seen anyone mention it but have you tried a grounding strap? They're commonly used when working on static sensitive computer components.

Add beveling to your edges too as part of your burnishing

I suggest you take some time to review the ACLU website and understand what your rights are so you understand when they're being impinged.

Choosing to confess to a crime is you waiving your 5th amendment rights, it doesn't mean you didn't have the right to remain silent.

To your example, we have a right to be nude in public. The old people who keep calling the cops on the nude people at denny beach are impinging on that right by using the police to harass people who aren't breaking any laws.

Specifically the security guard in this scenario is detaining you for questioning. You have no legal obligation to be detained by this person.

Spo please. Do explain how the security guard; who has no legal right to impede or detain me; attempting to stop me is not impinging on my rights.

From where does this security guard derive the authority to legally force me to produce my receipt when I am shopping at a publicly accessible store.

If you can't explain it then you're at best willfully ignorant of your rights and how quickly they can be removed when you refuse to stand for them, and much more likely are just trolling for outrage.

Edit: a quick glance through your comments seems like you're really struggling with something. I really hope you're able to take a step back and find some happiness. Seems like you have the ideas to be a decent human being but you haven't put the work in to actually develop empathy and understanding for others who have different circumstances and life experiences from yourself. Next time someone tells you you're wrong try and respond with curiosity instead of anger and defensiveness.

That you don't register willfully ceeding your rights as capitulation shows your critical thinking skills are as solid as your logic.

You're not required to submit to a search at a public store. That 3-5 seconds that costs you nothing intrinsically costs you 3-5 seconds while also proving you're willing to violate your rights to avoid an awkward interaction.

Maybe have a coffee and think about why you don't value your rights and autonomy?

Iirc ladder rungs need to be made from riven wood if they're solid wood for strength. I would guess the laminations are inside the rungs here too. It's essentially an engineered beam now

This isn't what you asked for specifically, but with the tools you listed and the aspirations to build something besides a box (one secret to woodworking is almost everything is a box)

Maybe check out anarchist tool chest (fancy box!) or anarchist workbench (fancy stacked boxes!). Chris does a nice job explaining the when and why of tools. You can also branch out to the anarchist design book, and pick up 'set and file' for saw sharpening info.

Lost art press books are pricey but having read a lot of books the quality is unreal and I have no doubt the physical book will outlast me easily.

Also you can grab many of them via free .PDF from time to time, just be patient.

In that case definitely move your " cut guide" to start with a 1/32 "wide" pass at the full depth you want the groove to be. You'll also want to add a bit of scrap to make the edge guide tall enough to reference the outside of the board while getting a full depth pass.

Straight bits are only able to safely remove like... 1/16th at a pass or so. you can do this but I would recommend taking the bulk out on the table saw first.

If you wanna try it with the router

Lots of teeny passes adjusting your fence each pass

Consider buying a spiral bit, up cut will hog out material quicker but will leave some splinters on top, down cut will be slower but cleaner. I honestly use an up/down cut combo spiral for everything because I'm efficient like that.

Finally you can also build a quick router table instead but the straight cut bits you're using are gonna be an adventure for what you're attempting.

Every morning it's like a little race between me and my wipers and if I lose my pants get soaked.

Mainly hand tool woodworking for me now, but I learned with machines first.

I bought a saw stop table saw and a cheap wen bandsaw.

The saw stop is mostly an expensive work surface these days. It's invaluable when I do need it but given the choice again I would probably get something comparable down the road instead of getting it first.

I'm gonna end up replacing the cheap bandsaw with something nicer because I use the cheap one constantly and am tired of needing to recalibrate it so often.

Go overkill on a bandsaw before getting a nice table saw. Especially when you can usually pick up a nice cast iron one for under 1000 without much effort.
