  1. Hand Tools
    Does anybody have any photos on the best way to choke up on a chisel? I've tried emulating Matt Estlea's and Paul Seller's grips. Yes, they are great for control, but when the chisel slips a little bit I end up with cuts on my fingers where I am in contact with the corners of the back of the...
  2. Hand Tools
    Good evening. So I have had some "orange handle" chisels that I bought a while back, to be honest I always assumed I'd be more reliant on power tools and sand paper, but I'm really gravitating to hand tools these days. Anyway, they're nothing fancy, but they're my first that I got to...
  3. Hand Tools
    Is there a particular trick to working on maple with hand tools? Sawing was hard. Resawing took forever. Planing and chiseling is even harder. I gave up using my shooting board, and just did free-hand planing and doing a lot of checking with a square. I'm at a step in my project where I'll need...
  4. Projects Simple chisel rack

  5. Projects Stacking dovetail boxes for fountain pens and ink

    I wasn't willing to pay for the Galen Leather boxes, so instead ended up designing my own and spending three times as much in man-hours if I was being paid minimum wage to make these boxes. :) I did learn that I enjoy working with poplar, and that poplar will tell your very quickly if there are...
  6. Chisels and Carving Tools
    I bought a set of 4 Narex Premium chisels a year ago. They were pretty cheap then, I paid $60. Note the stylish cardboard storage box. Very posh. They're easy to sharpen and hold a good edge. I see a lot of reviews where the reviewer replaces or refines the handles on chisels. These are the...
  7. Projects 4-Drawer Chisel, Gouge, File, and Rasp Storage Chest

    Those of us on this forum know that you can never have enough clamps. Well, I found that the same rule applies to edge tools, files, and rasps. I use these tools a lot and, for some reason, more and more of them trickle into my little shop. I soon ran out of storage place, so I made this storage...
  8. Focus on the Workspace
    Needed a home for my Kimmon‘s chisels. Just finished the first of two mobile benches and decided to get the chisels in their place. Used walnut for the holders. Will put cork in the bottoms of the dados to clean it up. Hot glued to drawer so they can be removed if needed
  9. Projects Chisel Handle from my own tree ;)

    We moved to a small village in France this year, and it's the first time in my life since childhood that I live in a house with a garden and plenty of my own trees... it's a really cool thing to make something out of wood that came from your own tree! But no, I did not fell a whole tree to make...
  10. Hand Tools
    I purchased this old Buck Bros chisel a few years ago but I haven't really started using it regularly until just recently. I've noticed this verticle bend along the blade since receiving it but just kind of ignored it until now because I feel as though it's getting worse. So I decided to throw...
  11. Walnut Clad Pump Dispensers

    Using the project info. from the WOOD magazine: Walnut Pump Dispenser ( Oct 1991 Issue 46 P.74), I made a couple of lotion / soap dispensers out of 1/4" Walnut. I'm going to make a few more using scrap oak pieces. By the way, the most critical tool used for this project was the digital angle...

  13. Underwater World

    Hello all, it's been awhile since I posted a project because of my broken hand and then playing catch up to get some projects done. This one took AWHILE to finish because it was 341 pieces and a lot of them where very small. I spent a lot of time down on my hands and knees looking for a piece...

  15. Sycamore - Firewood to Cell Phone Chair

    First a question…as a fellow lj, which to you looks better. The pale wood which is just plain sanded wood or the yellowish color wood is with a coat of tund oil. Later I am going to wax a piece of the plain sanded wood to see how that will look. When leaving work I saw that a coworker had a...

    I turned these Chisel Handles to create a uniform look and to replace my old plastic and broken wood handled Chisels. Most of these belonged to my Dad. I cleaned up the steel, sharpened and I use them almost daily. The handles are made from Ash from the wood burning pile :)
  18. Dowel end reducer

    First special thanks to Matthias Wandel for his website that gave me the confidence to try this. I needed the ends of dowels trimmed down. 1/2" dowel with a section only 3/8" diameter. I wanted to explain how easy this was for others that may need this but don't want a dedicated tool. So the...
  19. A Tree-Table

    Just before cutting down the last part of the tree… I came up with the idea to make a table around it. It is made from left-over and reclaimed wood. Our friends (who own the campsite this tree is on) are thinking about a roof above it to.
  20. Horse drawn Log Hauler

    A person I work with asked me if I would make a model of a horse drawn log hauler for his father, little did I realize how much work it would be. It is in 1/8 model scale and is about 40 inches long but is adjustable to about 20 inches depending on the length of logs hauled. This is classed...
