Looking for Mesquite lumber - 8 replies Good morning all, I am looking for some 4/4, 5/4, 8/4, 10/4, and/or 12/4 mesquite lumber that would be suitable for making molding planes. Quartersawn would be great, thought I know that’s not usually feasible with mesquite due to the way it grows. I am looking for boards around 6” wide. Long boards are not necessary, and I w... |

Using Aspen for Furniture - 5 replies Good afternoon all, I will probably be thinning the woods a bit this fall and will probably take down a few 18-24” diameter big-tooth aspen trees. There is an Amish guy down the road with a sawmill, and I was thinking of having him mill those aspen logs up (along with a couple black cherry logs). Is aspen any good for building furni... |

Tool Gloat - Wards Master (i.e., Stanley) No. 45 - 5 replies I was able to score this Wards Master No. 45 on the bay recently for $80.

Millers Falls No. 85 Box - 1 reply I have a box for a Millers Falls No. 85 that came with the plane I just purchased. I have no use for the box as I have no desire for the plane to sit unused on a shelf, so I figured I’d open it up to my fellow LJs. I know the box is rough, but I figured someone might like it for displaying. Please PM with any offers,... |

Stanley No. 2 Plane Looking for a Home/Possible Restoration - 6 replies I found a Stanley No. 2 for far less than it’s worth at a flea market (or, if you will, rescued it). Its condition is a little rough with some rust on the lever cap and the iron/chipbreaker. Other than that, the tote and knob are in excellent condition, save for some finish wear and patina, and there are no chips, nicks, or gouges in the... |
