Making Wheels:
I use a hole cutter on the drill press to cut the outer diameter for the wheel (2.5 inches for this wheel). The hole cutter has a 1/4 inch center drill and fits my pen mandrel on the lathe, or chuck into a drill and turn against a belt sander.
I then shape the wheel on the lathe using my pen mandrel. Shape the wheel and treads.
Cut out the center of the wheel with hole saw, hold with a pair of pliers!!
make a wheel holding jig – use cutouts from wheel...

The Piano Stool idea came as a negative reaction to black ,metal ,cross legged mass produced things meant for electronic keyboards . (although just £16 ) .In front of a mahogany coloured upright piano that would not look right .So I looked on ebay to see what shapes and designs were out there in wood . There is no real market for these . Most were on the auction system with 0 bids and No Delivery. Free collection in person .Only one was a buy it now .
First impression was cabriole legs . V...

In this video Colin turns a stunning #BananaBowl out of Goldfields White Cypress a species local to us here in Western Australia.
Turned using a two bowl gouges and a negative rake bowl scraper from Crown Tools in the United Kingdom, this is an excellent example of what can be turned with just a relatively small tool set.
The project was finished with SHELLAWAX Friction Polish from U-Beaut Polishes who are an Australian made & owned company specialising in finishes for woodturners....

Been a while since I worked on this, and the pile of slats I had set aside for the second door took a beating while they were laying on the corner of the bench. I ended up needing to recut all of the oak slats in order to be able to assemble the second door, but that went more smoothly as I have better tools for the job.
The dados in the slats got cut on a table saw this time around. And the mitered half-laps on the door frame pieces got cut at the miter box. Much easier to get everything ...

Since I’ve been posting some wild cherry gall bowls, people have been asking to see what the galls look like in the wild. Yesterday I went fly fishing and, since the first time in a long time I was skunked on the fishing (a few strikes but not one landed fish) I’m glad that some decent pictures came out of the trip.
Here’s what I know. Wild cherry galls are caused by a disease called Black Knot Fungus. The fungus affects ornamental and fruiting trees (so if one has a an o...

https://www.clinescraftedwoodworking.com/blogs/ccw-blog/the-early-days-of-our-family-owned-and-operated-woodshopOur woodshop actually started from a much simpler place. In fact, it was born of necessity: my family’s home needed new furniture.
It was when I got to work preparing pieces for my wife, my two growing boys, and our home that the idea for Clines Crafted Woodworking LLC took form.
As I sought out fine local woods, studied the most influential woodworkers, and honed my techn...

I’ve put together a video of my first woodturning commission. This was a challenging project when I was newer to wood turning. Now that I’m more skilled, I’m sharing this video with tips on what not to do. There’s a mix of stain matching, finishing, layout, and turning in this video. I hope you enjoy it.

I finally got back in the shop after a crazy week. On Saturday I shaped the outside of the bowl and filled a few holes, then Sunday I smoothed that out and finished it, then chucked the base of the bowl and started shaping the inside.
That’s the outside pretty good. Let’s get to the inside.
First I have to cut off the pine “base.”
Then clean up.
Once I get pretty close to the final shape, I pull the bowl from the lathe, leaving it on the chuck, and fill and...
