premium is 15 and they charge tax i automatically adjust my bid fees to 20 in my head so if i m willing to pay 100 for a tool my max bid will be 80 00 80 00 bid 12 00 buyers premium 6 00 tax comes to 98 00 my first show on may 18 2026 by mvflaim furnituremaker in uncategorized leave a comment yesterday i did something that i have never done in 20 years of selling antique tools i set up a booth at the burlington antique show in burlington ky the reason for my booth was that my wife anita is down sizing her booth rentals at the new antique mall she is in she s been renting two rooms for the past few months while her sales have been phenomenal she found taking care of two rooms filling it up with antiques was too much to bear plus the majority of the sales were coming from the one room by the register the furniture she was selling in the back room she was getting off her facebook marketplace ads she told me she doesn t need to spend 400 a month in rent if she could just as easily sell it in the garage instead makes sense to me so saturday night we loaded some of the stuff that was still in the back room and shoved it in my truck to head to the antique show in the morning since i was going to work the show i decided to bring some of my tools with me and put them out for sale i decided to bring tools that were too big to ship i sell planes and smaller items on ebay all the time but shipping large items has always been a pain in the ass first it s hard to find a box to fit the tool and then it s hard to estimate total shipping if i don t have the box on hand i ve been burned more times than not when it comes to shipping big tools i woke up at 4 00am and headed out the door at 4 45 arriving at the fairgrounds at 5 30 am this gave me 30 minutes to unload and set up the booth i didn t have too much stuff as all i had was what i could fit in my pickup truck but hopefully i had enough to make it worth my time i put most of my tools on a white metal shelf anita had in her booth on top were big panel raising planes on the two shelves were smaller tools that i sold for 5 00 each i ve found over the past year that cheap tools don t sell well on ebay anymore the buyer will pay 5 00 for the tools but will spend 13 00 in shipping i mainly ship usps priority mail for the free boxes but i ve been rethinking about buying my own boxes and switching to ups the tool of the day was this stanley no 100 picture framers miter box i had 50 00 on it which was a steal even though i could probably sell it on ebay for more the shipping would be outrageous in fact i checked ebay recent sales and one sold for 50 00 with 120 00 in shipping no thanks i ll sell it here and let the buyer save the money i sat out all day sitting on my trucks tailgate and spoke to numerous customers everybody was nice and thankfully had cash i don t have venmo so cash was the only payment i would take i negotiated with customers all the time making sure they felt they were getting a good deal a lot of time if i had 20 00 on an item they would ask if i would take 15 00 i always said yes and never missed out on a sale my goal was to sell 400 for the day by 10 00 am i was close at 280 00 the 5 00 tool shelves were the most popular as customers were looking for deals people would look at the panel raiser planes but no one offered me anything for one anita s stuff was more popular with customers than my tools but i expected that most of my customers were women by noon i hit my goal as i surpassed 400 there were plenty of customers left still walking around so i was happy to still sit on my truck s tailgate nearing the end of the show a guy came back to look at the stanley no 100 miter box he asked me what my bottom price was for it i told him 40 00 and he took it it was a little less than what i really wanted for it but i was glad it was going to a good home in the end i sold 641 00 worth of stuff out of that 263 00 were my tools there was an old file cabinet and that white metal shelf that came home with me anita didn t want either one back in the garage so i took it to the recycling center this morning and got 18 25 in scrap metal for it doing the show was a lot of fun it was nice sitting out and relaxing a little bit and talking to people all day and making new friends i ll definitely do it again in fact i m considering buying an enclosed trailer so that i can bring more items with me in the future if i had a lot more inventory i think i could sell thousands of dollars during the show i know several people who do the same fine woodworking s first 10 issues on march 29 2026 march 29 2026 by mvflaim furnituremaker in workshop leave a comment this weekend i had the opportunity to buy the first ten issues of fine woodworking at an antique mall in northern ohio when i saw them laying on a magazine rack i couldn t believe what i was looking at even more so was the price of each issue a mere 0 50 each unbelievable when i got home i looked through the issues and read some of the articles the first issue of fine woodworking had an article near and dear to my heart hand planes with the caption the care and making of a misunderstood tool this shows you how this was the very beginning of a magazine dedicated to woodworking if the common woodworker thought of a hand plane as being a weird foreign object scanning the magazines i saw tage frid was an early contributor with several articles he wrote in first few issues along with frid there are articles by james krenov jere osgood and bruce hoadley a basic who s who of 20th century woodworkers the first issue had very few advertisements but the magazine quickly grew thicker in a couple of years as woodworking companies saw the opportunity to reach their audience by placing an ad in their pages it s interesting but a bit sad to see the companies that were thriving 50 years ago only to go bankrupt or be acquired over the years the issues are full of now defunct woodworking companies i m still in the process of reading all the articles but there is a wealth of knowledge with these issues the one thing i did notice is back in the early days the magazine focused a lot on wood carving and occasionally had articles on blacksmithing something that you would rarely find in today s issues i checked ebay to see what these magazines might be worth they re actually worth a lot less than i would have thought you can currently buy the first 12 issues for around 40 00 of course you can buy all the issues of fine woodworking online if you don t mind having a digital copy i m old school and still like holding a magazine in my hand instead of on my phone display cabinet on january 25 2026 january 25 2026 by mvflaim furnituremaker in furniture leave a comment anita got two new booths in the antique mall she sells in she went from having a small 8 x 10 l shaped booth to having two big rooms because of this she needed a big display cabinet for the back wall in one of her rooms she searched the internet and asked me if i could make this apothecary cabinet for her she wanted the piece to be made of a light colored wood but didn t want maple or poplar we went to lowes and bought a bunch of 1 12 s that were a light pine made in sweden being that they were from sweden i assume that it s the same pine that ikea uses in their furniture the first thing i did was make the legs by glueing up boards into a square there s a special lock miter router bit for this purpose but i have always heard that your stock has to be completely straight and flat in order for the bit to work well my boards were neither so i opted for 45 degree cuts and a lot of clamping pressure with band clamps and duct tape fortunately they came out fine after the legs were made i cut notches into them to fit the shelves then i wrapped the edge of the shelves with 1 1 4 pieces of wood on the end grain i used a little bit of glue and pocket screws for the wood movemnet the rest of the base was built with festool dominoes and glue i wanted robust drawers so i made those with handcut half blind dovetails it s a lot of fun cutting dovetails by hand and it really doesn t take too long once you get the hang of it i wanted to make sure that the drawers wouldn t bind so i made the drawers a 1 8 smaller in length and height so there would be a 1 16 gap all around i made sure the drawer runners were 1 16 proud of the opening and screwed them in place with pocket screws and glue once the base was made i focused on the top i wanted the sides to have a thicker panel in the middle of them so i glued up the 1 8 panels together i used as many clamps i could find and stuck newspaper between the two panels so they wouldn t stick together luckily when the panels dried i was left with two oversized panels for the sides of the cabinet i built the case with more dominoes and glue and created adjustable shelf supports with the scrap wood i had left over i love this technique for adjustable shelves you drill a 3 4 hole every 2 then you rip the piece in half on the table saw then for the support you add a 1 filler on the bottom of the support stick this way if you need your shelf 1 higher you simply flip over your shelf support i installed the back with more of the 1 8 thick panel wood and anita put a natural aging solution on the piece as she didn t want it stained people in the antique shop love the piece and are perplexed that i built it out of 1 12 s from lowes a unique french plane on january 18 2026 january 19 2026 by mvflaim furnituremaker in antique tools 2 comments i was going through my tool collection yesterday when i stumbled on this little plane it looks like any other coffin smoother with a convex sole until i took it apart to look at the blade when looking at the back side of the plane you can see where there is a screw mechanism to advance the cap iron up and down i took a brad awl and stuck it in the hole spinning the screw all the way down hoping i could remove the cap iron but it didn t work my thread got stuck underneath the nut and i couldn t turn it anymore then as luck would have it when i wiggled the cap iron a little bit it came loose off the blade my tool oil i used must have loosened up the rust that has been sitting in the blade for decades you can see a little nib at the top of the blade where the cap iron mechanism lays into after doing some research i found the company aux mines de suede that made the plane i downloaded their tool catalog and they produced a lot of interesting woodworking tools the body of the plane looks to be oak you can see the scribe marks on the side as a guide where to cut out the inside there is no makers stamp on the body so it may have been custom made plane by the owner it s a really interesting plane i have never seen before save shopsmith by buying the company on october 25 2025 october 25 2025 by mvflaim furnituremaker in workshop 9 comments after nearly 70 years in production shopsmith the maker of the mark v and mark 7 woodworking machines is on its last legs and facing liquidation unless a person or group buys them https www shopsmith com store closing fbclid iwverduanqjurlehrua2flbqixmaabhr6hupmculq58iv_ns7bzi1sltyog pfk9erde5_bnm2cevgvyzn43hlawa_aem_gzwca98nw06dgso3bi0wfa i never used a shopsmith but always see used ones for sale on marketplace my understanding is that the accessories were proprietory so you were locked into only their brand of stuff it didnt seem very user friendly to me so i never considered buying one did you own and use a shopsmith how is the machine was it a jack of all trades master of none type of tool i ve always been curious do you have a boatload of money and want to buy the company now is your chance they may be liquidated by the end of the month they are located in dayton oh and apparently it s how scott phillips got his start with his tv show the american woodshop the story goes he worked for shopsmith at the time and did some how to videos on using the machine someone saw his videos and asked him to do a new woodworking tv show or something like that he knows the story a lot better than i do 3d printed tools on october 19 2025 by mvflaim furnituremaker in workshop leave a comment a few weeks ago my buddy rich and i went out to wings and rings to watch the bengals football game while there we shot the breeze and i mentioned that i bought these pipe clamp lifters online i told him that they were made on a 3d printer he told me that he could make those on his 3d printer and that there is a website called http www yeggi com where you can search for free downloads of woodworking tools and jigs i checked out yeggi and saw that they had golden ratio calipers and asked if he could make a pair i bought a pair on etsy years ago but they were smaller than i thought they would be rich made me two larger size on his 3d printer then this weekend he came over and gave me more stuff he printed for my birthday i was shocked when he handed me this box it was completely printed with my logo on it on his printer then inside were over twenty french curves i can use for designing furniture then he gave me a really cool set of roundover jigs this was another free plan he downloaded it comes with seven different sizes it s an awesome gift so now my mind is spinning with what else he can print for me i told rich i d pay him for his time but he said when he puts in the download he just goes to bed and when he wakes up in the morning the item is printed he told me just to pay for the filliment what do you think i should have rich make next j w roof s tool chest on october 12 2025 october 12 2025 by mvflaim furnituremaker in antique tools leave a comment last weekend i ventured out to an antique show in urbana oh i got there around 8 00 am and walked around for a couple of hours buying a handful of tools i was happy with what i bought as i just go to these antique shows because i enjoy going regardless of what i buy i decided to make one more pass around the fairgrounds when i decided to go down a little part that i didn t visit before when i stumbled upon this guy a huge tool chest full of tools the guy selling it said he took out of a house in troy oh from a woman who had it in her garage it was her dad s tool chest she had nowhere to keep it as she was moving into a retirement home so she had to ged rid of it i looked inside at the tools and immediately noticed a stanley no 8 and 5 type 4 prelateral planes and an early version of a stanley no 45 combination plane the guy told me he wanted 350 for the chest and tools and that he s had a few offers for the chest alone he then told me he d sell all the tools in it for 200 at this point wheels were spinning in my head as to where i was going to put this thing as my shop is already overflowing with tools from the auction i went to a few months back then the guy told me he d take 300 for everything as he really wanted to get rid of it at 300 i might as well buy the whole thing as the tool chest alone was wort...
