STL 113: Tool bomb, or not tool bomb?

Shop Talk Live · 10 Jun 2016 · 56m

What this episode covers

Host Tom McKenna, along with contributors Matt Kenney, Ben Strano, and Mike Pekovich, discuss woodworking techniques and answer listener questions. They explain how condensation causes rust on cast iron shaper tables when cherry wood is stacked on them, and advise on converting a jack plane into a scrub plane by rounding the blade. The hosts also share practical shop tips, such as using a vacuum to inject glue into cracks and a method for planing thin veneers by gluing them to plywood first. Finally, they identify several 'tool bombs'—items like scrub planes, flatback tape measures, and spade bits—that are either unused or inappropriate for fine furniture making.
