Loved this one. Got wanting a Work Sharp just so I can build the stand you did.

Oh man, wish you had done this two months ago, already bought an extra wheel and the wide blade attachment. Luckily, they are cheaper at amazon, but still, I really like your platform idea.

By the way, one day you should do a Red Green Show tribute episode, maybe focus on duct tape in the work shop, or turn a k-car into a lathe.

Stumpy – great tips and I really enjoy your videos. I was going to build a stand for my WS3000 so I could do wider plane blades, but I like your design much better. A couple of questions – do you put the buffing compound directly on the mdf or do you use a worn out piece of sandpaper as a base? Also, can you provide the measurements for the stand so we don’t have to figure it out ourselves when we “leverage” your design?

Stumpy this one was the best. Your worksharp mods are brilliant. You jokes were very funny. The Wright brothers and popcorn twist was great. I enjoyed your shop dogs. Great show. Keep em coming.
One question. What is the deal with the opening?
Did you take a tree out of a park only to build a birdhouse out of it for the ranger?
O K that was two questions.

Good job Stumpy, I may have to build the little stand as well, it looks very practical. Well done sir.

Stumpy—Nice to see a video that actually lives up to the hype! Your shows are fun to watch and I learn something from each one. Thanks!

There’s one thing I have never liked about the WS3000 … that’s the little 2” x 2” 400-grit sandpaper sheets that go on the ramp. Once I get the backs flat and polished, I hate dragging them over the 400-grit when I’m working on the bevel. My solution: I use a very fine diamond stone next to the WS3000 to knock off the wire and maintain the polish on the back of the tool. Only takes a couple of strokes.

The buffing compound is a great idea. I found some MDF scraps this morning out in the shed … now I’m off to the shop to turn some discs.

Great show Stumpy. I really enjoyed this one, I’m still smiling.

Great video Stumpy!
I see many mods to my machine coming up.

Stumpys’ idea of using MDF discs and buffing compound instead of glass platters and sandpaper inspired me to whip up some discs and give it a try.

You might know that I couldn’t find the package of buffing compound sticks that have been laying around the shop for 3 or 4 years! But at least, I’ve got the MDF discs ready when I do locate it (I’ll probably find it right after I buy some more).

Garyb6- I did make a sketchup model before I built it, but I want to make some adjustments now that I built it. Then I can send you the file if you like. The buffing compound goes right on the MDF, it is a nice, flat surface for it.

superdav721- The opening? When I was a kid my uncle lived in the U.P. He built hundreds of birdhouses for the Seney Wildlife Refuge. That was what got me first interested in woodworking. So it’s a tribute to him.

Dane- I was going to post it as a project. You beat me to it!

Thanks Stumpy. I’ll send you a PM with email address to send sketchup file to.
