How many times, pulling pieces apart and fitting them back in place again, does it take before an Intarsia art piece is ready to hang on the wall? A video of my work in progress viewed fast forward would confirm such repetition … a gazillion times … but who’s counting?! At least these chosen photos shouldn’t throw you into that world of boredom!!
But repetition is worth mentioning because someone out there in LumberJock Land might be contemplating this particular style of Int...

Time to lighten the mood a bit. I think the best collective noun to describe clamps would be ‘insufficiency’
‘I have to add to my insufficiency of clamps.’
‘I’m adding to my insufficiency of clamps.’

I met another woodworker who is downsizing and getting rid of his clamps. He’s not having much luck on Craigslist, so I offered to help him out by posting to the Jocks. I hope I’m not overstepping and I hope I am not posting to the wrong area so forgive me if I am and please let me know so i can correct it. That said, here goes:

A fleet of ships, a bouquet of flowers, a chain of mountains; I propose that the collective noun for a bunch of clamps should be called an “insufficiency of clamps.”

I recently bought a 3/4” pipe clamp at a thrift store that seemed very light considering it was 5 ft long and had Pony cast iron fittings. The pipe intrigued me and I found it to be non-magnetic with an i.d. of 0.87” , an o.d. of 1.04”. I concluded the pipe was Schedule 40 Aluminum.

I made one of these as an experiment and I ened up using it in the orchestral repair shop to hold two edges of a violin face crack. I figured it couldn’t hurt to make a few more. Sometimes I have to repair multiple instruments in a day.
I made two sizes, 5 in. And 7 in deep with a capacity of 2-1/4 inches. Turns out this is a little small for a full size fiddle, but then most of our violins are 3/4 size and smaller. I’ll make a few larger ones eventually for full size v...

I am having a lot of trouble getting the video to look right in this blog! It looks wrong here and if you click full screen it looks even worse! If you REALLY want to watch it then it is best to click on the button to see it on YouTube. It looks fine there. Otherwise, well, you get the idea!
If anyone knows the RIGHT way to embed videos then I would love it if you would ...
