Using the 78 as a scrub has a lot to do with how narrow it is. Way easier than pushing a #4 size blade through an 1/8” of material

25 November 2019 at 11:29 pm #630693I’m in south central Pennsylvania USA. Yes, I agree, some days are some hard labor that’s for sure. Overall though I’m enjoying it. The access to choice lumber is a major plus for me right now. I’m just a helping hand when on the sawmill at this point, not making any decisions out there. I’m more comfortable inside milling boards for customers and getting orders together.
18 October 2019 at 4:52 pm #619277Well, I enjoyed my first day. I know processing rough lumber is not the most exciting task in the world, but I was very unhappy at my last job. To spend the day watching grain and color emerge as customers looked on in excitement thinking about their project was enjoyable for me. My arms are a bit tired today but my body feels ok, I’m sure I will strengthen up quickly
16 October 2019 at 5:46 pm #618649Yeah I’ve done it on some shop boxes and if you pick good matching grain it’s hard to even notice
16 October 2019 at 3:40 pm #618619You can used a stopped groove or cut a small piece from matching grain and plug it from the outside after. Paul has a video doing the plug in the dovetail boxes video when he makes the pencil box.

4 September 2019 at 12:57 pm #605411oh, man, bowties? i dont want to be mistaken for one of the local, hipster, live edge cheese plate woodworkers haha
4 June 2019 at 12:57 pm #577829no i dont think it will be an issue, i try to avoid pitting when possible but its seems like you have lots of flat surface area there
3 June 2019 at 9:20 pm #577635what grit sandpaper are you using? just curious what everyone else does. Im having trouble with a 5 1/2 right now. 120 is not fast enough because of some pitting but i swear coarser grits seem to almost cut less. I dont know if they wear out quickly or they’re possibly “too coarse” if that even makes sense. just been asking lots of people what they use.
17 May 2019 at 7:25 pm #570468i wouldnt worry since its a workbench, it couldve come out better, but im sure you learned alot and it will function fine. just flatten it again if that cup in the top is really bad.
7 May 2019 at 1:17 pm #558259depends what the tool is really, I wouldnt take a wire brush to a preston router base or detailed areas on a stanley 45. certain textures/finishes and the value of the tool and its original condition could affect what method you use.
