Just a note on the rash or irritation. You do not have to have a rash or irritation to have an allergic reaction. I notice that pine irritates me a little and more than any other wood. I can tell when I worked with the next day. Also mold and mildew get too me. I can tell you if you have it in your home in a few minutes. I have been in home where my respiratory track burns for hours after I left. Either case I had no rash.
It might be helpful to get an allergy test. There might be a certain species of wood that you have problems with.

1 May 2019 at 7:04 pm #557706Thanks I was wondering the same thing. Of course I could have enlarged the image and read TEMA (never crossed me mind).

22 November 2018 at 1:08 am #553401I spent most of my life in the largest Amish community in the world. People flocked to see and buy “old world” type things. Even though most of the Amish shops where as modern as anyones. There are markets. I am not sure about in Austrailia. Then there is tby e question one how much money do you need ro live.
8 July 2018 at 2:46 pm #549210Thanks for the Japanese saw idea.
I feel for you. I have 2 disc fused in my lower back. Unless I am bent over for a while woodworking is not a real problem. I do try to stay away from pills as much as possible.
I have been trying natural things like turmeric, ginger, garlic and cayenne. I buy the empty pill capsules and fill them (I tried making a tea, but the turmeric is nasty). That seems to help a little and an added benefit is, I have not had a cold in a year (use to get one every fall).
It is a little discouraging. I really want to find some kind of work that gets me out of a chair. Woodworking with hand tools is relaxing plus the added bonus of finding old tools (I really like old things). I always though it would be neat to working the cabinet shop at Colonial Williamsburg. Not sure I would look good in the tight knee high pants though.

I would be nice to see a video of it. If anyone runs across one please post.
4 July 2018 at 3:22 pm #549131Thanks. I too am to the point where I really find it tiresome to go to the doctors.
19 June 2018 at 1:20 am #548612I forgot to post a follow up of what I found on this vise. From what I can tell it is actually a blacksmiths vise. Which would make sense since my grandfather was a machinist for all of his life.
19 June 2018 at 1:17 am #548611After a long journey with inept doctors. I have a 75% tear in a tendon in my shoulder.
On a positive note, they thought it was a problem in my neck. So I went to physical therapy and they dry needled my neck and shoulders. I haven’t been this flexible in years. It really helped to loosen up stiff muscles.
Just thought I would update this, even though it took the doctors 2 years to figure it out.

31 October 2017 at 6:03 pm #345341You can put the arkansas stone to the diamond plate and get rid of the pitting.
23 September 2017 at 3:28 pm #320999I have thought the same thing, but then it is a beautiful country with a lot to see if you love history.
7 September 2017 at 3:27 pm #315628If you need more practice, I have a few saws once cleaned up that will need sharpened.
I always tell my wife, so many saws, so little money.
7 September 2017 at 3:09 am #315613Adjusting takes a little practice. I find for lighter taps, a hand of screwdriver works well. Plus make sure it is sharp.
7 September 2017 at 3:06 am #315612I believe Paul sharpens all his that are 8 tpi and smaller to rip. He said that you will see no real difference in crosscutting until you get larger than 8 tpi. To be honest it is easy enough to change. You could try for a while and change if you do not like it. I just find a rip saw will crosscut a lot better than a crosscut will rip cut. You can always run a knife line round the board to stop any tear out.
