Shop Safety Outside of the Shop.

I do not really care for home improvement projects. Well, perhaps that is a little harsh. I should say that I do not enjoy them nearly as much as designing and building fine furniture. The other part of home improvement that I do not like is that I seem to be much more prone to injury doing home improvement projects. more....

I've worked both in the shop and on the jobsite. I find you have to be a lot more careful on the jobsite. In my shop, everything is in its place and I know what to expect. On the jobsite, expect the unexpected.

Just a sidenote. I know it is your business, but while I enjoy reading your posts, I sometimes don't read all of them. The reason for this is the fact that I have to follow a link to your site, outside of Lumberjocks. While I would sometimes go to your site later on just to see what else you have to offer, that link is offered within your signature. I sometimes don't feel like going to your site just to finish reading the article I'm on. My reasoning for this is that if I do so, sometimes something else there will catch my eye, and pull me away from Lumberjocks for a while. If you'd post the whole article here, I'd enjoy it. Then I could still enjoy the rest of your site later, after I get finished catching up on my other fellow Lumberjocks.

"I sometimes don't read all of them. The reason for this is the fact that I have to follow a link to your site, outside of Lumberjocks"

I can appreciate this. I am mostly being lazy, since I already have everything setup on the my site and link to it from several sources, LumberJocks, Twitter, etc. I figured I would copy just enough text so that one could figure out if they were interested or not. I will start copying the entire entry if it means that more folks will read it.

Thank you very much for that. I, for one, enjoy reading the whole article. Part of the problem is my own fault, but I scroll through the blogs and usually open up two or three in seperate windows to read. So, when I have to go outside the site, it becomes a bit of a confusion for me, and yes, I am easily confused.
Thank you though. I'd appreciate you copying the whole article and posting. I do however go look at your other site too sometimes thogh.

Groovy Grooving Planes

In the last shop update, I briefly mentioned a grooving plane that did not work so well. The idea was to have a tool that could quickly make the grooves in the bottom of draw and box stock to accept the drawer/box bottom. The new design really rocks, so much that I made three sizes (widths): 1/8", 3/16", 1/4". Although these are intended for making the grooves on drawer and box sides, I have been discovering more uses for the flexible design of these planes:

Good and informative video. Many interesting ideas and thoughts. I like the cove and think it does draw attention to the display. This strips in the miter joints is an interesting thought but I think it kinda looks like a cover up to a bad joint without adding much to a piece. Not much help on the hinges. Nice project and thanks for sharing. I enjoyed it.

Thanks Brian for the informative video. I don't have a good lathe like yours, but it's enough to get by. We had a Noreaster storm last month and it took a lot of trees down. I found a black birch with spalted burls. I will try to turn some into bowls like you have. I will have to seal the wood until I recover from surgery and hopefullly get back to turning next year. Any recommendations on what to seal the wood with?
