@jmk89 The cherry palette pieces came from palettes supporting large rolls of metal. Surprised by cherry but it's all about hard wood. 6:44 PM Dec 3rd from Power Twitter in reply to jmk89
@KariHultman The only time I've used pumice was on flat surfaces so no. 9:25 AM Dec 3rd from TweetDeck in reply to KariHultman
@KariHultman All of the newer "don't rust" hex keys are made of fairly soft wire. Sometimes rusty is a good indicator :-) 8:56 AM Dec 3rd from TweetDeck in reply to KariHultman
@KariHultman A Dremel makes the "hex key" approach useful but you need to hit a flea market and find rusty ones. pt 1 8:56 AM Dec 3rd from TweetDeck in reply to KariHultman
@KariHultman That's pumice, Kari. A finer version is rottenstone which is use to polish finishes. 8:54 AM Dec 3rd from TweetDeck in reply to KariHultman
@KariHultman A very good idea, Kari. I've shaped a couple using a Dremel tool and grinding disks. 8:46 AM Dec 3rd from TweetDeck in reply to KariHultman
@WoodShepherd Why? If it were me I'd throw it all on a DVD or two and stick it on a shelf. There is no cost to this but throwing it out? 7:55 AM Dec 3rd from TweetDeck in reply to WoodShepherd
@KariHultman Another possibility is to take some piano wire, bend over the end into a hoe-shape, and file an edge on it. 7:05 AM Dec 3rd from TweetDeck in reply to KariHultman
@KariHultman It would certainly be simple enough to bend the Dockside chisels. 1/16" is pretty big compared to 1.5mm. pt1 7:04 AM Dec 3rd from TweetDeck in reply to KariHultman
@KariHultman Just picked up the carving thread. How small is your smallest chisel? I have some that are 1.5mm wide. Would that work? 6:54 AM Dec 3rd from TweetDeck in reply to KariHultman
@fwmagazine Is it appropriate that people are repeatedly posting the same comment over and over and over? 3:06 PM Dec 2nd from TweetDeck in reply to fwmagazine
@GarageWW In any case, congrats on a great get. 2:48 PM Dec 2nd from TweetDeck in reply to GarageWW
@GarageWW Geez....why doesn't my mom have stuff like that? I would love to own a 45. 2:43 PM Dec 2nd from TweetDeck in reply to GarageWW
@RenaissanceWW Yep, that was the thing I saw about the WS as I do hand-hone my chisels BECAUSE they're hollow-ground. 2:43 PM Dec 2nd from TweetDeck
@RenaissanceWW [Larry's eyes get wide] I'd love to have a slow-grind system for turning tools. 2:24 PM Dec 2nd from TweetDeck in reply to RenaissanceWW
@RenaissanceWW Have never owned a powered miter saw. They look handy if you're doing house moulding. Otherwise... 2:20 PM Dec 2nd from TweetDeck in reply to RenaissanceWW
@RenaissanceWW Clearly the Tormek is a better unit. I've thought of buying a WS, though, as I'd only use power rarely. 2:19 PM Dec 2nd from TweetDeck in reply to RenaissanceWW
@GrecoWoodcraft I think I can as the situation is not only stupid; it's frustrating. 2:18 PM Dec 2nd from TweetDeck in reply to GrecoWoodcraft
