Yea Ken. Big Old Retail Giant
I didn't know what it stood for, learn something new everyday. I always referred to HD as the Big Orange or BORG.
-
A little bit of both. It was extremely crowded and the long lines plus social distance spacing contributed.
-
Went to the BORG today cause I needed a 2x4, only took 4 boards to find a perfectly straight 1. Now it did take 30 minutes in line to buy it, but I am looking at the positive. ?

Well that sucked! My hands are hurting after all that sharpening. I'm glad I started over, cause some I don't think I sharpened properly the first time when I didn't know much. Now that chisels are done, it's on to plane blades. I really need to learn to freehand sharpen. I would like to add a higher grit stone, but I don't want to go through a good part of this process again.

Why don’t you do the bevel and back at the same time on each stone? Once you set the guide for the bevel, there’s plenty of clearance to do the back. I hope! Perhaps I’ve been doing it incorrectly? Yeah, the width you mentioned is correct. I think they just want you in the center of the guide.
Different strokes. After I flatten the backs, I find it easier to set the guide then go through the 4 stones, then onto the next victim.

Well that was fun! Went back to 220 and up to 8,000 with all 8 chisels, in the end I'm sure I won't regret. Backs are flat, now to do the bevels. So for those of you that use the Veritas MKii honing jig. I went back through the manual and couldn't find my answer. When setting up the width of the chisel you set the 1 part to let's say 1/4" which is marked, if you have a 3/8 chisel do you set between 1/4 and 1/2" marks?

The set I'm talking about was done on my stones. I think I'm going to start over for my 1/4, 3/8, 1/2, 5/8, 3/4 and 1. For the 1 1/4 and 1 1/2 I'm going to start at 4,000 since, as mentioned, I have never used and unless I'm doing a small timberframe doubt I will.
-
No more sandpaper. Just using my diamond plates and water stones from now on. I know you're right about starting over, but I'm just not wanting to admit. The 1 1/4 and 1 1/2 I'm not going to do over since I have never actually used them, if I ever do, I can decide at that time.
-
There in really good shape, that is why I'm leaning towards starting at 4,000

I have 2 sets of chisels. The one set I never really sharpened properly. I basically used wet dry sandpaper and never was happy with the performance. So today I started over and sharpened this set, 220, 320, 1000, 4000 and 8,000.
Now for my issue, my other set I am fairly certain I never took these through my 8,000 grit stone. I actually can't remember if I stopped at 1,000 or 4,000. What would you do, cause I believe I have 3 options:
1). Start over completely (not preferred)
2). Start a 4,000
3). Go directly to 8,000

I am not good at Sketchup, but I do use it. I have my ways of doing things, probably not the right way. I can mess around and see if something looks right and take measurements, so I agree with Kev it is useful whether your just doing for your own projects or if it is a commission.

They look like a pair of Chaps a cowboy would wear! Nice slabs, but I'm not a crazy figure guy.

Nor am I on the scald you tongue type peppers. I prefer flavor over heat. I prefer jalapeños, hot to not terribly hot.
Totally agree Coop! I used to buy a Ghost Pepper salsa, after awhile it lost all flavor cause the heat.

Jaime looks like some quality stuff. I love horseradish with pork tenderloin.

I tried typing in shirts in the search block to find the thread for the new Kev’s shirts and nothing popped up. Maybe it’s my iPad?
Anyway, when I got out of the shower, I put on a pair of black and white checked pajama pants and a black short sleeved Kev’s Wood Working shirt to watch tv in. My wife said, “darn, you look good in black”! Fingers crossed! ?
Maybe Kev could get you some black pajama pants, then the wife won't be able to keep her hands off you!

How long has this set lasted? If you think you could get 2 times longer with carbide then that might sway your decision. If it was me 1 would buy 2 sets of the HSS.

woooooow!! I never thought you could get the intricate with those details, but dang! That is an amazing board there.
Did anyone see the sparks coming from the bandsaw? .. what was that about?
Yes I noticed the sparks coming off the bandsaw. My only guess would be that the blade was touching the guides because how he set it up. Then again I could be totally off base.

If I send you $8 does Coop's shipment get rerouted to NJ?
