Farewell
Unfortunately my father, who you know as Stefang, passed away this morning. He had terminal kidney cancer and suffered from a lot of pain towards the end, so it was a release for him. He had his family by his side and his last words were, “I...

thanks you all for the warm welcome and the warning (which is already too late). I won’t be posting anything for awhile as I had to redo my (entire) workshop to accommodate a new sliding miter saw and I’m not quite done yet. I’m just an old guy trying to make up for the lost years when I had to work for a living and didn’t have much time for hobbies. I’m an American expat living in Norway for over 30 years. My shop is pretty small (about 220 sq ft.) considering all the tools crammed into it. Most of my equipment isn’t prof caliber, but when I see some of the work done with just hand tools I really can’t complain. I don’t sell anything so I don’t feel any pressure to be particularly productive. it’s the experimentation and learning curve that motivates me. You could say I’ve gone wide but not deep, which is probably not a good recipe for anyone wanting to master something. I plan to post a picture of my workshop to start with and also plans for shop-made toggle clamps I designed and which are made from scrap plywood and are about the same size, (or as large as you want ) as the ones commercially available. Using a template and your bandsaw or scrollsaw these take about 15min. each to cut out and assemble and they work at least as good as the ones you buy. A lot of the projects on this site are really amazing and I’m looking forward to finding myself in the company of some really knowledgeable and talented people.

Welcome. You have found the right place for woodworking. A great group of people willing to help. Looking forward to see your projects (that come from that new sliding miter saw) and comments. You will find a lot of ‘old guy’s’ here. Work safe in the shop and don’t forget to use pushsticks.

Welcome to Lumberjocks. The projects are an inspiration, the information is priceless and the people are supportive. The only problem is, the site can get addictive.
God Bless

Hi Stefan, The tubes and the red plastic webs are all part of a jig. The tubes hold all the red pieces in specified distances in an upright position, and each wooden frame of the wings is held in the required vertical and horizontal plane, till the main braces are passed through the frames, glued and cured to form a full wing.
Hope I explained it right.
Best Regards,
Tuanie.
