  • Patternmaking is not that easy.

    Updated: 2011-11-07 16:02:16
    I have made a couple of small patterns for casting in silver and one in brass but this is my first patterns for casting steel.  Steel shrinks 1/4″ per foot when it is cast, these are built to the exact size of the drawings, and because they are small there will be little shrinkage. The [...]

  • Woodworking Shows 2011-2012

    Updated: 2011-11-02 18:12:18
    Over the past couple of weeks I have been seeing advertising on TV for upcoming woodworking shows. The only problem with these ads was that they didn’t have any schedule information attached to them. Kind of dumb if you ask me, why pay to have an ad for a show and not tell people the [...]

  • Damascus Striking Knife with handle

    Updated: 2011-11-02 15:10:06
    I ripped up some curly maple stock for tool handles and also found a smaller sized blank of the same ‘tiger maple’, but not a lot of stripes and fashioned a handle to match my other tool handles.  I use the tapered octagonal handles like illustrated in Moxon or from the 1596 ill fated Nova [...]

  • Versatile End Table

    Updated: 2011-11-01 21:54:39
    Our client needed a Bedside Table for a bedroom, but did not want to be limited to using it solely as a Bedside Table. Knowing that she might someday wish to use it as a Sofa End Table, she asked that we create her table without a full-back so that she would not be limited [...]

    Updated: 2011-10-31 15:02:11
     Hey, welcome back to the workshop. We’re continuing with the how to build a  curio cabinet project.  After the debacle that I went through to shape the tapered stiles let’s hope the next phase goes smoother.  Well actually building the front of the cabinet was really simple. The top and bottom rails are joined to [...]

  • My Queer Creek Stone has a new home

    Updated: 2011-10-31 14:21:56
    I bought this a while back at the local swap meet and gave the guy his asking price, something I normally don’t do.  It has remnants of the original Norton Abrasive Co label and I thought it said ‘Queen Creek’, but on doing some research I discovered it was in fact ‘Queer Creek’ and was [...]

  • Making the case for Liquid Hide Glue

    Updated: 2011-10-28 18:28:04
    Yes, Hot Hide Glue is better [whatever that means] than Liquid Hide Glue.  It has a greater strength.  However Liquid Hide Glue is better [and I know what that means] than any modern glues. Hot Hide Glue is the benchmark to which all glues are compared as it was one of the first glues used [...]

  • If you make or repair furniture, Please don’t use modern glues.

    Updated: 2011-10-25 17:56:13
    Because sometime in the future someone will be repairing what you make or what you repaired with modern glues and they will have nothing good to say about you.  I said something here.  I do a lot of repairs to furniture both old and new and when one comes in glued together with white or [...]

  • Fat over Lean

    Updated: 2011-10-18 01:10:36
    Not only my preference for meat [apologies to my vegetarian friends] but also my preferred method of applying linseed oil.  This tradition dates back centuries and the Old Masters would follow this rule while oil painting. The basic rule is using a ‘lean’ oil first.  Lean oil is linseed oil that has been thinned with [...]
