Re: Jointer Knives

Yes. I used the ruler method advancing 1/8”. After I felt pretty confident I had a solid alignment I checked it with my new iGauging snap gauge. It told me I was dead on across the entire span of the knife. Maybe it is the feed rate? I was pretty tired. I will dig in deeper with some soft pine and t...

Re: Johnson Paste Wax

I tried to post up more or different photos of the open can. It did not work. Let me know and I can send you additional photos. I hope I am in bounds with the Forum. I usually find myself outside the lines.

My Fellow Geniuses, Please read every word of this. I bought (2) Two cans of new JPW on eBay. I paid $100.00 plus free shipping. $50.00 bucks a can. I was planning on giving one can to a friend but he declined. I need to sell off a can so I can buy stock for turning. I came up with a Grand Idea. Ple...
