Guess what popped up in my feed........

More On My Router Plane

I think that this is worth saying. My new router plane reduces the cost of owning a lifetime tool to the cost of a few short hours in the shop making it and the price of a half-decent restaurant meal…

I’ve stopped using Google Chrome because it seemed like every time I typed in a search I got adds on FB or Amazon for it.

I have a Gmail email address which doesn’t help. There’s no such thing as “free”…

I hate the YouTube ads popping up especially those little rectangular ones that cover any text while missing content getting the mouse to click a piddly a** close button.
Rant over.

Managed to move the mill onto the new stand.
Took some doing as the outriggers on my hoist are too narrow for the width of anything that requires the hoist.
Decided to try putting the outriggers on the outside of the hoist which made the bottom wide enough to get the roller base in between the legs.
Was definitely sketchy and next time I’ll make up some longer pins and some filler pieces for the middle bits.

Not at all metal related but I’m super stoked to have picked up issues #1 through #161 of Fine Woodworking. All in like new condition.
For the princely sum of $60

Man be careful with all that knowledge at one time....I did that with 12 yrs of civil war artillery magazines at an auction ...been building all sorts of "replica's" since then from photo's in the mags...hence my forum handle.

Funnily enough with so much inspiration my wife is now expecting great things to emerge from the shop. If only my skills were up to the task!

Start shopping for cooking and needlepoint magazines now. But don't give them to her unless she complains about the lack of output in the woodworking shop.

After you give them to her, look up divorce lawyers and funeral homes.

Yeah, been there, done that. Definitely not doing that again!

to quickly revisit the router plane thing, here is the video I was thinking of about a home built router plane. Beautiful job, but took a lot of effort:

It took extreme effort to watch any video, but I watched it. My heart went out to the fellow making the planer. He did a great job with mostly common tools and parts. It would be a little easier for someone with a bandsaw, mill, grinder, and sander.

Very impressive! Thank you @Dabbler.

They don't have to be that elaborate:

This style is called a "hags tooth plane". They are fairly common on the antique tools circuit. The blade and the clamp might be made by a local blacksmith, back in the day, or perhaps purchased from a catalog. The wood body would definitely be made by the user to fit their hands and their needs.

Here is another style with a wedge to retain the blade:

The cutter appears to be a re-purposed plow (plough) plan iron.

Started on my mobile dust collector setup. Picked up a brand new, used metal trash can this morning for $30.
Reused the original base from the collector, couple of 2x4's and a chunk of ply to support the cyclone. 2x4 uprights to support the fan unit.
Still a work in progress.

@David_R8 A couple of guys on youtube have crushed their 'waste can' because their vacuum was pretty high. You might consider a reinforcing band about 1/2 way up to strengthen it? All depends on your primary vacuum. A large shop vac will draw considerably higher vacuum than a squirrel cage blower type.

Thanks I have a 1.5 hp fan style blower rated for 1200 cfm and static pressure of 9.5 inches of static pressure.

My secret is to create alerts in Used.com…

That site doesn’t seem to work for me, it comes up with “content coming soon”.

I’ve now worked out how to put alerts on FB Marketplace.
