A vintage Stanley Bedrock model, even unrestored, will cost you more than a new TayTools version. Vintage planes are only good if you know how to properly restore and tune one. A new woodworker who has never used a good plane has no idea how one is supposed to feel. I have seen many folks "restore" planes, only to put them on a shelf because they still don't work properly. I used to blame them for that. Rob Cosman was the one who helped me see things differently. He said when he put a premium plane in a student's hands, the difference was night and day. After they had experience with a good plane, they were more equipped to go the "vintage" router for their next one.

Shopmade screw blocks - FineWoodworking
When I made these blocks to attach the solid-wood top to a dining table (“English-Inspired Trestle Table,” FWW #310)) I was aiming for the blocks’ shape to be in sympathy with the design of the corbels that act to stiffen the connection of the foot and the brace to the trestle’s post. It’s an example of echoing the overall design even in the smallest of ways.

Paul Sellers | How to make a Shooting Board
In this video Paul Sellers shows how to make a simple shooting board from pine. This is an important piece of equipment for woodworking in the hand tool shop as it allows you to make sure the end of a board is either exactly square or exactly forty-five degrees. It also allows you to plane the end of a board straight across without 'break-out' on the far side.
At 1:47 the middle measurement should be 12 1/2" or 320mm. Sorry for the confusion.

Stay safe using a table saw by avoiding trapped workpieces. Learn about push sticks, push pads, and safer cutting methods for effective woodworking.
The primary question to ask is this: Is my workpiece trapped between the fence and the blade during this cut? If the answer is yes, then another question follows: Does it have to be?
