I have wanted one of these for a long time and today i ordert it :)

So next week i can use it in my shop :)

Have a nice weekend :D

I want one of these. I have looked at this model and think its going to be this one,but i wanted to hear what you guys&girls can suggest?

Thanks for looking in :)

Finaly i get a new bandsaw :D

This is the one i just have ordert. I have tryed it and it cut accurate and fast,and can cut up too 165mm thats about 12,5 inches.

Just wanted to share this with all you:) I am in the middle of 3 project wich all needs too be cut out on bandsaw so this is perfekt :)

What a great day :)

I would be really happy if someone could help me with this.

What is your experience and favorite tenonsaw ?

I have looked at Lie nielsen&Rob cosman`s but wanted to here what you people use and like.

Thanks for looking in :)

The chisels are exaly so welmade and beautifull as i had hoped for and the marking gauges too.

I was in doubt wether i schould buy Ln or veritas gauge. The veritas is half the price so i was looking and thinking and bla bla bla.I was not so happy with the design from veritas but the price is good. Finally my choise was LN and i am very happy for that :D

Made of brass and stainless stell and everything slide so smooth and the microadjustment works perfekt(dont know how important that is but time vill show)

Then i was in store with tools here in Denmark and they had a lot stuff on sale. I was looking a there was a Feestool sortiment box. last time i looked at one it costed almost 200 dollars and i will never pay that much for a Festool box even this is nice with different sizes of drawers,and small signs to write on whats in the box and so on.

I asked what the prize was but they didnt knew that. Well said the Lady in the store its just an emty box so you can get it for 8dollars…..:D:D:D

So today i am wery happy and enjoying my new stuff :D

I Was very happy with them even the handels are yellow and not so nice(dont like yellow)

The blade is two layer stell and its the most sharp chisels i ever had tryed.

But then suddenly i saw that all of them hat a crack more or less. It was betwen the blade and the handel.

That made me very sad since i had paid a lot of money for them and wanted them for a long time.

So i wrote a mail to DICK-mehr-als-werkzeug were i have bought them to here were to send them and if they would give a refound or new chisels,but i was not sure what they would do.

Today they wrote back that its normal for japanese chisels and its not crack :D

The explanation is here :

Tang chisels:
Classic design, ensuring firm anchoring of the blade in the handle. On cheap tools without an additional steel ferrule, the handles may split under heavy blows.

Socket chisels:
This design allows a continuous transition from the neck to the handle and thus comfortable ergonomics. Through the conical fit of the socket, strong forces can be transmitted during striking.

Japanese chisels (Nomi):
This design combines the benefits of both types above.

Wherever high precision is required for working solid wood, for jointwork in the manufacture of fine furniture, or for the making of musical instruments, Nomi are indispensable. They have the following advantages:

A B C Tang Steel ferrule Hoop Socket Tang Steel ferrule Hoop

Blades of two-layered steel
Soft iron, protects the blade against cracking and absorbs the shocks of the hammer blows, forge-welded with a thin layer of extremely hard carbon-steel (with the exception of HSS Nomi). The hardness values are 62-63 and 66 (HSS steel) on the Rockwell scale.

Tapered blades
The blade is set at a slight angle to the tang to increase the working depth to nearly double the blade length.

Integral design
The neck is seamlessly integrated in the handle and therefore lies comfortably in the hand. The solid conical steel ferrule protects the handle against fracture or becoming loose when struck with the iron-headed hammer.

Hollow-ground back
The hollow relief (ura) on the back of the blade reduces the contact surface and therefore also the friction and the required cutting force. It also simplifies sharpening, as only the edges of the hard carbon-steel back of the blade need to be lapped. Due to the abrasion during sharpening, the straight cutting edge remains intact, even though the blade becomes shorter through sharpening over time (see illustration below).

Sharpening Japanese chisels
Use only fine-grained Japanese waterstones with grit 1000-2000 for sharpening and 1000-4000 for finishing. Work on the bevel and rear side until the concave relief is outside the cutting edge (see illustration below). The back lies completely flat on the stone. Make sure that the sharpening and finishing stone is 100% flat!

WESTERN CHISELS
As a rule, these are made of alloyed steels with relatively sturdy blades and little danger of chipping. In particular the finely manufactured Pfeil chisels in traditional central European design have proven ideal for universal use.

CHINESE CHISELS
Traditional Chinese chisels are convincing in terms of their durable, crack-resistant HSS steel blades, which also withstand rough treatment during restoration or joiner’s work. The working of wear-inducing composite materials is also no problem for these chisels. The tapered shape of the blades is advantageous for working into corners and undercutting. The value for money of these chisels is unbeatable.

So now i am happy again and i just wanted to share if anyone else end up with the same problem :)

Ps Found out there is life warranty on these chisels :) Looking forward to compare them with LN bevel chisels wich ill recive this week :D WUHUU i love tools :D:D:D

This evening i have made my own antikwax.

Dark,nice and cheap :)

I know an old furnituremaker wich i have made some old locks for.

it started out with he had a closet were the lock was gone. It was a couple of hundred years old so he could not get it by Ruko,Abloy and so on :D

So i made a couple for him,and during that time he tought me some small tricks and he still is and this is one of theme.

So the other day i was in an very old paintstore in the middel of Copenhagen and there i bought some Pigment-powder made out of “hørfrø” i dont know the english word for it. This had to be mixed with beeswax and then you got the antikwax in any color you want and much cheaper than you can buy it,and the procedure i use to make it is the same the producents of wax is using.

I took some beeswax and melted it in a waterbath.The meltpoint is about 45degres celcius so its fast to do. Then i added the powder in the color i wanted.

Put it away and let it cool down.

Abracadabra i got my antikwax for almost no money :)

I got this wunderfull “Hegner” discsander. My fionce has bought it from our kids cause i turn 40 next month.

It came in a big box and and she got no were to hide so they gave it to before time:)

I tested it with a hard piece of palisander and it just grind it away like a knife cuts butter on a warm summerday :D

German quality never fails!

Just so excited and want to share it :)

I know he has a big heart for planes. He got at least 70( i have counted them) and more will come.

He treasure them,use them,dont use them,sharping them,tell stories about them,well i could go on but to make it short he simply loves them!

So this evening i found out that some people claime the inventor of the hand plane is among others things a greek ARCHITECT :)

So dear Mafe this fit perfekt with all the things you make :)

WELL DONE.

Who invented here planer and when it happened is quite uncertain. Concepts (1956) have demonstrated shavings in Egyptian coffins, 2 half of the fourth century BC, derived from the Greek colonization of North Africa. How these shavings are obtained, however, is a question because I am from Egyptologist Elin Rand Nielsen, National Museum in Copenhagen, has received verbal information that hugspåner from a cutting ax may sometimes take the form of wood shavings, and the Egyptians knew and used the cut the axes. In addition, the planer requires the use of iron, and the famous Egyptians not to before the Romans came with it much later.

Several authors believe that it was the Greeks who developed planer. When it happened, is not known, but it is clear, however that already for nearly 2000 years ago, the fully developed as we know it today, with a wooden house (wood stick), an iron located in the anterior third of the stick, secured with a wedge (tense up against a cross pin in spånhullet).

It has also found Roman filings with bronzehus from this period, while the earliest iron filings, which I have knowledge, is German, but may never have been used as a tool.

Iron Planes have never been in general use before the end of the 1800s.

Some sources indicate that the Greek legend completely Daedalus (egl. “artist”, but probably just as much “craftsman”, inventor and architect) should be the perpetrator of the planer, but there have to date found no Greek planes of that age. The Greeks did have a name rhykané, which apparently means “wood”, but there are no reappeared archaeologically

We spend a very nice time with talking and once again my english was not the best,but i think they understood me( at least i hope so )

I am planing to make a workshop on the roof were i can get 24kvm. I was in doubt if i could do it up there cause its an old roof and i was affraid to make it “to tight” so the woodenconstruction cant “brieef”.

I took Mafe 5 mins to explain how i can do it with no problems so now I AM IN HEAVEN :D:D:D

First of all i have to remove all we have placed there,but thats piece of cake. Think ill do it tomorrow :)

Then i can start up building. Of course i need some materials and so but WEEEE NOW I GET A SHOP AT HOME::D

On work i have 350kvm with all kinds of machine etc,´but this is gonna be my cave…MY CAVE…...

I have been waited for this in years and now its finnally happens.

I got such a good felling about this i simply just need to share it with people who understand so thats why i write it here :)

When i have removed all the stuff i will post a picture and from there it can it be followed.

When all is finish i hope LJ from all over the world will come and drink a beer and play :D

Wuhuuu this is just the best :)

My great inspiration to get started was when i entered the most cosy shop…..THE MAFE`S VINTAGE SHOP…

That was like coming home….Thanks Mads :)
