Veritas camber roller attachement makes putting a camber on a blade a breeze.

After years of using an ROS to sand and smooth all my projects I finally said enough and started collecting good user planes over the last couple of years. I had played some with a #5 jack plane but had left my #4 smoother unattended other than to derust it. I pulled it out today, took the blade out and got out my Veritas honing guide. I had purchased a camber roller attachment for it last year and hadn’t tried it out yet. I don’t know what took me so long. It made putting a cambe...

Premium Saws Indeed

So when I first saw the Veritas Dovetail saw and it’s price – I wanted it. I endlessly searched everywhere on the internet for reviews and came up with just a few. Everywhere said “They get great reviews, but I’m not sure…” We I was sold, I wanted to try it out. I never bought it. I said if they had more than one, a matched set or something, that I would get one. Well, they do now. I figured for a little more than the price of one nice doveta...

Square Joints with a Hand Plane

Square Joints with a Hand Plane

150 days ago by CreekWoodworker | 8 comments »

I’ve had trouble getting perfectly square leg tapers and joints with my hand planes so decide to try out the Veritas Jointer Fence sold by Lee Valley. I was a little leery of it since it is attached to the side of a hand plane by magnets …can magnets really hold or will the fence pop off with every swipe? It comes with a stop that screw that fits into pre-drilled threaded holes in the fence (NO holes or screws into the plane). There are two sets of stop positions in front and...

Sweet Jig

Sweet Jig

176 days ago by Smeric28 | 16 comments »

Though i thought it was a little expensive when I bought it from woodcrafters I think this honing jig is awesome. I use the scary sharp system and it works great for it. the best part about this jig is that the guide you attach let’s you set a consistent square bevel every time. when you try it you’ll be surprised how far some of your chisels have gotten from spec. I found a few things about the jig confusing (the manual wasn’t very clear) so i’ll give you guys some...

Nothing plain about this plane!

Nothing plain about this plane!

271 days ago by Mark Shymanski | 17 comments »

This is my 1000th post so I thought I should make it special; so I will write about a great plane my great wife gave me for my birthday (its actually on Sunday but we were in Winnipeg visiting my brother and his wife so we had an impromptu birthday party there). Any way this is of course a Lee Valley tool and you can go to their web page for dimensions etc. I’ll just write about my impression of the tool. First off is the heft of the tool, its got a good solid feel to it and the tote...

It was shades of "A Christmas Story"

It was shades of "A Christmas Story"

Anyone who has ever seen the movie “A Christmas Story” knows the elation of discovering that you had won a major prize. I have not had a new tool infiltrate my shop in a very long time. It would be even longer had I not won this plane from the Wood Talk Online podcast—thanks Marc and Matt. See, folks, if you aren’t listening to this podcast, YOU SHOULD BE! Even a guy who never wins a thing can win something over-the-top cool! Okay: on to the plane (thank God it ...

A Very Versatile Clamp

A Very Versatile Clamp

408 days ago by 3fingerpat | 3 comments »

I picked up these clamps when they first came out and have been extremely happy with them from the start. They need a 3/4” diameter hole to fit the bottom wedge assy into, tighten the knob and you are ready to clamp. Their holding power is terrific and very easy to release and move around as needed. I use these clamps all the time and they work great, I couldn’t imagine working without them.As ususal, the quality of the tools from Veritas is excellent, I highly recommend adding...

Table works great though installation is finicky

Table works great though installation is finicky

421 days ago by JLYoung | 8 comments »

I ordered this router table insert plate on a Thursday afternoon and received it on Monday afternoon which I think is an excellent delivery time. The shipment arrived well packaged with everything in it. The instructions to install this thing are very detailed and laid out in a logical step by step manner, which though very complex and daunting upon first review, became quite logical once you take the time to follow the instruction procedure. It took me quite a bit of time to get this plat...

Not just for Neanderthals!

Not just for Neanderthals!

469 days ago by CessnaPilotBarry | 21 comments »

Most of the time, woodworkers who use lots of power tools flip right by catalog pages, websites, and reviews of so called “specialty planes.” The Veritas Scraping Plane is a specialty hand plane that users of machinery need to give a serious second look. This is not to be confused with the Cabinet Scraper, which looks like a large spokeshave with a flat face and blade bowing screw. Some folks call the cabinet scraper a scraping plane, I’m sticking with the Veritas name...
