If I remember correctly in one of Pauls saw sharpening or q&a videos he mentioned he would just keep using the saw if it cut straight and the missing tooth would reappear after a couple of sharpenings. If its only one or two tooth I would probably just try that sollution first, would save a lot of work and time if it works.
22 August 2023 at 7:22 pm #811190Thank you all for the advice.
I decided to glue a pice back on the tenon.Hope I can finally finish cutting the last leg so I can start glue up.
11 August 2023 at 9:39 pm #810142Your correct that the tenon isnt tall enough thats where the whoopsie happend.
The end grain joint is indeed my concern, the left over tenon is about 115mm.
Considering that the toprail has the same dimension I figured it wouldnt be a big problem just looking for other viewpoints.The extra tenon idea is something I hadn’t tought about. I’ll see if I can make that work, the cut away part is only 25mm so that could be a challenge.
Thanks Rog.
26 November 2022 at 9:41 pm #781624Orestis, have you found a suitable quickrelease vice in mainland Europe?
In about 2-3months I’m planning to start on my own workbench and I’m in the same boat regarding the vice.
27 August 2022 at 8:38 pm #771880That is one hell of a cool tool, I keep being amazed about the solutions they came up with in the past before everything was motorized/computerized.
24 August 2022 at 8:45 pm #771576Here’s what I would do depending on the scenario.
If the project is gonna end up somewhere I dont mind seeing a flaw I would go for option 1.
If the project is something I want to look really good and I can be bothered/have the money and time to make a new drawer its option 2.
If its a show piece and I dont mind a flaw/dont have the money and time to make a new drawer I would go with option 3.
Could veneering be an option? It’s a bit like option 3 but thinner. Just a random idea.
23 August 2022 at 8:46 pm #771460Here’s a little update.
Gave it another go today, turns out my troubles were two fold.
The first piece of beech I used was full of raising and sinking grain.
My workmate workbench just isnt sturdy enough, I used the tresles against a wall with some screws as a planestop. Suddenly the non functioning plane started working.Thanks for the tips.
19 August 2022 at 7:52 pm #770978Hi Stijn,
Thanks for the tips.
I checked the angle of my iron when I came home today, it is around 23° maybe I should actually increase the angle a bit on the next sharpening. Maybe it gets dull to quickly cause of the shallow angle.The oil on the sole is a good one I keep forgetting to use the rag in a can, i’ll give that a try next time.
The beech beam does have a slight bend in it that I’m trying to get out.
Unfortunately I do have a good excuse to not start on a workbench, I live in a apartment with not enough room to build a proper bench in the storage room. We plan on moving to a proper house with a garage next year. That is where I’ll build my proper workbench.
Kind regards,
Joost
P.S. the plow plane you sold me works tremendously, someday I will remember to post some pictures of all the projects it helped me make so far.
21 April 2022 at 9:38 pm #757077I forgot to post back on the result.
Tree went down easy enough, got a trunk of about 2m with a diameter of around 15cm.
There was a kink at the top of the trunk so I cut that off into its own smaller piece.Sawn the small piece in planks straight through with a handsaw (not recommended, took me 15-20 min. per cut.
For the main trunk I borrowed a reciprocating saw that made the job alot easier even tough it kept jamming cause of the trees size. At the end of the trunk I got fed up with sawing so I split the last 30cm with some pine wedges I made. Unfortunately the grain goes of in a wrong direction, so the rest will have to be done with a saw.
On the large trunk I tried some quarter sawing. So I hope that turns out good.
Its hardwork but I had fun doing it and still have to do one half of the larger trunk.It looks to be not much but atleast some decent looking wood.
I added some pictures from halfway through the process.

Regarding the size, I usually only make small stuff cause thats what my workmate can handle, dont have the space for a propper workbench.
Length of the tree is around 2m so just about fits in the car.I’m planning on trying to atleast make two of the serving trays with alternating wood for my mother in law and my grandmother in law(is that a thing?).
The whole endevour is basicly one big experiment and having fun doing it, if nothing usefull comes from the tree Ill just return it in pieces as firewood together with a bag of shavings to start the fire. My father in law loves his fire place 😉
7 January 2022 at 6:41 pm #743910If you havent bought the saw yet and plan on cutting long boards I suggest getting the version with bigger teeth, meaing a lower tpi.
I got the 10 tpi converted to rip but it doesnt cut as fast as I would like to. On the other hand the 10 tpi in rip still cuts crosscuts easily.
Also if you dont have a rasp and a file yet get them aswell cause you want to modify the handle. Its really uncomfortable but a hour or two with the rasp, file and sandpaper really makes a huge difference.
13 November 2021 at 6:20 pm #736558I was talking about the board that seperates the drawer from the top compartment.
The sticks would be above the drawer, this does create some useless space between the top of the drawer and the top compartment. Another way you could try is make a groove in the walls of your box. You can then slide a floor in there before you glue up the whole box.
I suggest you watch the desktop organiser video, it sounds like your trying to make something like that project. Last time I checked the video isnt part of the subscription so it should be free.
13 November 2021 at 10:09 am #736498If I remember correctly Paul go’s over it in the desktop organiser video. Its one of the last episodes, been a while since I watched them.
I tought he basically glued two sticks on the walls and hammer in a piece of plywood to rest on top of it, but I could be wrong
14 September 2021 at 12:02 pm #728681Im not sure what its called in English but in Dutch its called meggeren. You use a special device to measure the insulation resistance of the wires. The device puts a high voltage on the wiring and than uses that to measure what the resistance is. Here its usually done with 500V.
Dont forget to disconnect the capacitor if you dont want a firework show.
