Woodpeckers Holiday Countdown — A New “Retired” Tool Every Day Until Dec 12th.

Woodpeckers Holiday Countdown graphic

Woodpeckers Holiday Countdown event started today. For 10 days until December 12th, 2018, they will reveal a single retired One Time Tool each day. Once the tool is revealed, you’ll have an opportunity to purchase it until their supplies run out. They only have a limited number of these One Time Tools, so if you miss them this time you’ll have to hope they have a second run of the tool.

Woodpeckers is only allowing orders through their website and since these are One Time Tools, there will be no back orders.

Update: It looks like they reveal the new tool each day at 10am EST.

WoodPeckers One Time Tool Edge Tool Sharpening guide

Today they revealed their edge tool sharpening guide as the first of 10 tools.

This tool is a “go, no go” gauge when you are sharpening chisels and plane irons. The gauge is made from 3/32″ thick 17-4 stainless steel. The interior angle is 90° with a tolerance of .0085° for making sure your chisel or iron is perfectly square before sharpening.

Around the exterior are 9 angles for checking the bevel angle of a sharpened chisel or iron. The first 8 angles range from 15° to 50° in 5° increments with the ninth being 54°.

      As an alternative you might look at this one from Seneca:

      and this – which looks better than what I have from Woodpeckers:

        I have been very happy with my set of Precision Dogs parallel guides. They exceeded my expectations even in wonky circumstances, the manual is good, the video helpful, and I found the service very responsive when I had questions. They look a lot like the Seneca (both use the Incra track) and I remember considering both, but I apologize I cannot remember what led me to choose one over the other, maybe just price.
        Not that you asked, but relevant to Fred’s second link, I choose the TSO guide Rail Square, in part to support what I saw as an innovative (and innovating) company. Their new models are nice and beefy and have worked great for me (but I have not tried others). There are some strong opinions about the Insta-RailSquare product, if you enjoy an online discussion as much as the tools themselves.

          I had bought the Woodpeckers Track Square jig – probably before the TSO was available. I find that the Woodpecker variant is a bit finicky to set and doesn’t always hold its position after many repeated cuts.

          Not so bad that I’d toss it out and start over – but one of those cases that waiting for the TSO guide – would probably have been better

    If you missed out on the sold-out sharpening guide – I see that MLCS is offering a cheaper alternative:
