Occasional Table Class (Hand Tool Build) #25: The Home Stretch
Once you have taken the clamps off of your base and your top you are in that dangerous period I think of as the home stretch. It’s easy to want to run into it. Stop. Sharpen all your tools. Breath. Think…then get back to work. Trust me, if all you...

Let’s talk about saw restoration at some point. On my FB page I found an article from Make about restoring old hand saws, because, as I’m sure you know, nothing good is made new anymore. (Not at non-gouge-y prices anyway). So I’m thinking about picking up at antiques stores some old hand saws and some moulding planes just for grins and giggles to refurb and then use. Any thoughts?

Welcome to Lumberjocks. The projects are an inspiration, the information is priceless and the people are supportive. The only problem is, the site can get addictive.
God Bless

Thanks all for the warm welcome.
Kowtow. I have restored a few handsaws Distons and Keen Kutters’ are the best. What do you want to know?. Mark Harrell of Bad Axe Toolworks is an amazing resource on this.

I very rarely use my table-saw. All my other saws have built in “flesh detection” technology anyway. They even emit a high pitched alarm when flesh is cut.
All joking aside, I do everything I can to make sure I am intact at the end of the day.

Hi there,
Welcome to LumberJocks… I joined the site myself just about 2 years ago and will give you fair warning, this site is VERY ADDICTIVE, VERY EDUCATIONAL, and VERY FUN…. so sit back, enjoy the ride and learn from the other LJ’s as they are a group of extremely talented people that are also very friendly…
I apologize for the late welcome but I am currently serving overseas and don’t have a lot of spare time on my hands.
Enjoy your time here on LJ and pass the word to any of your woodworking buddies about us…
Wisty
