Thread: Redneck Resawing Scale Blanks (RRSB)

First - nice avatar.
Second - Excellent work.
Third - "The problem with defending the purity of the English language is that English is about as pure as a cribhouse whore. We don't just borrow words; on occasion, English has pursued other languages down alleyways to beat them unconscious and riffle their pockets for new vocabulary." - James Nicoll

I could not stop laughing when I read your reply. A worthier and more apposite comment would be hard to find. Thank you for your comment and input. It really did give me a good hardy laugh which everyone needs now and again. Every time I read read it, I begin to chuckle again.

+1. Gentlemen, the tooling study, followed by a sincere taste of the use of a language developed by sequentially conquered peoples, who have risen to bend the world to their purposes, has my rapt admiration.

As I saw "redneck" in the title, I knew this was your thread, WhiteLion! Actually, that is the least redneck thing you have come up with yet! Great job!

Whitelion, Thank you for posting your work. Yesterday, I photographed the step by step process of degreasing an oil soaked eBay stone. OMG what a hassle. I will describe and post in a few days or weeks…

Having been a woodworker, hand tool collector and antique restorer, it is amazing that hundreds of years ago craftsmen produced amazing furniture by hand with less sophisticated tools and that furniture exist and in use today. I have all the latest power tools as well, but there is something, about the full sensory feedback from a handsaw or plane cleanly slicing, shaping wood and the satisfaction of a hand finished product.

Much like honing a hundred year old razor on an ancient piece of rock and producing an incredible shaving edge.

Thanks for sharing your ingenuity and your time.
