I recently picked up the #50 Type 8. It was brand new and in the original box and had never been used. It had all the cutters and all the other parts.
I wouldn’t mind hearing the answer to the questions above!

NGR dyes. I was recently told that I could use Transtint dyes with acetone AND denatured alcohol. I’ve never used acetone for anything other than cleaning schmootz from surfaces. Does anyone have any experience with that particular mixture? I was initially going to use denatured alcohol exclusively, but if there is a benefit to using acetone/alcohol mixture, I’d loved to hear it.
For me, the hand working of wood has opened doors to needed skills. I have all the machinery. Low end mostly, but table saw, band saw, drill press, jointer, routers, planer and best of all…Powermatic mortising tool. Now, after watching as many of Paul’s videos as possible, I’m having a really difficult time even thinking about using the machinery. My first thought is how to do this right now…and without setting up any machines and making test cuts! I still use the tools I have, but there is an inefficiency about them when it comes to making one of anything, which is what I do almost exclusively. I can say that I’ll never abandon the power tools. Why would I? I don’t see the difference between power and hand tools as a divisive issue. The use of both makes the end result happen more quickly than using only one method exclusively. Although, there is a certain satisfaction that comes with gaining a skill while using hand tools that I don’t necessarily get from power tools. IMHO…that is!
Thanks Matt. I’ve painted exactly two pieces. One white…one black. My preference is to never again paint wood. It’s a mess…and why had the beauty of wood?
The inspiration for the table legs comes from a video I saw by Doucette and Wolf. Look at some of their YouTube projects… Outstanding hand work. Although, they are not afraid of machinery either. One of his trestle table designs had the painted legs with tiger maple. Looked GOOOOOD…so I redid my dining table. -
