I took a piece of oak 1×1x2, the brass I had, I just robbed the rule from the old one.
Now I gotta cut the brass

Mike, that’s a good question. I’ve done the same thing too! And with the same tool. I guess we like the recognition. In 1985 I made some oversized bevels and I sent one to Norm Abrams and it’s hanging on the wall of the New Yankee Workshop. I’ve seen him use it too! Yours is going to be great. bob

Mike, I am JUST LIKE THAT!! My problem is that I accumulate things and don’t get them done or fixed. My wife and I are in the process (today actually) of doing a mass Exodus with junk. I can afford to buy it, but just think that I need to waste time to attempt to fix or restore it…. I dunno… maybe I need to go to JA- Junkers Annonymous… lol.

The prolblem Steve is how much ya gonna buy back youself?
I Picked up a Craftsman scroll saw at a thrift store for 10 bucks, a benchtop 4 inch belt sander for 10 also.
Today I just got a free Craftsman level, It was in a house fire of a friend, it smells like smoke and has some rust but will clean up nice.
I also picked up a Cigar Humidor. It hold 300+ cigars and has an inlayed cigar leaf on top, the leaf is 8 by 10 inches. 10 dollars. :)
The scroll saw needed a bolt, the sander needed a sanding belt.

I am glad to know I am not the only person afflicted with this disease!

I got the top brass done and together need some fine tuning (filing)
and then while messing around I took some scrap and made a push block, scrap 2×6 and a piece off a cutting board, srewed together so I can keep the handle after the block gets chewed up.

If this is a disease, then I’ve got it in my bones…... lol…
I burned an entire truckload of “stuff” from my barn today… and found stuff I forgot I had. I’m not even close to being done (geesh!). If you find the cure, shoot me an email…lol.
