A couple of years ago someone gave me a grotty old roof beam from a demolished building. Two days ago I needed a plank as an Alaskan guide rail and this old beam was just the right size, but needed to be cleaned up to give my jig a smooth ride. This is what showed up after planing and sanding.
Does anyone know what this wood is? I suspect it may be Oregon Pine purely because of it’s age and where/how is was used. I’d like to know if it worth getting the nails out of it and ...

Does anyone have any experience with J-B Weld? I have a situation where I want to weld a piece of steel to a piece of cast iron. I don’t own a welder and, even if I rented one, it has been over 40 years since I welded anything. I’m wondering is J-B Weld would work for me. I’ve never used it.
I have 2 nice flat surfaces with lots of metal to metal contact and the joint will not be subject to very much stress or vibration.

What’s happening in the shop for February 9, 2010 . Working on Scholten’s Ross murphy bed and Barrett’s loft with stairs. Behind the scenes we’ll be boxing and shipping 3-4 orders. That area is really backed up. I hope top post completed pictures on some of those soon.
For missed video and building pictures see my Current Projects link at wwbeds.com or poggyskids.com.

I guess this is kind of a venting process. Ive recently restored a few Bailey’s (#3 and 2-4’s) and its getting addictive. Ive cleaned some and Ive tuned some but putting a fresh coat of paint, polishing the brass, and refurbing the totes and knobs is very rewarding. Ive accumulated more baileys than I need, but when I see one I want to make it shine again(hopefuly better). Amongst other hand plane stuff I am “refurbing” my 4’s. ended up with a union in the ...

Hey Folks,
I’ve been pretty busy working on the shop lately, between plane restoration and a few past due projects that I had, I didn’t have time to make a new blog entry until now.
Last week I got a lot with 10 bench planes out eBay, for a pretty good price. Out of those 10 planes there were 2 No’s 7 and 1 No 8. I couldn’t believe it, mi first No 8, and it was on a very sad condition. It is a No 8 Type 9 1902-1907, yes this baby is somewhere between 103 and 108 ...
