  1. Custom Screwdrivers

    This is a set of screwdrivers I made using the shafts available from Lee Valley. For more info see my blog post that shows the project from start to finish.
  2. New handle for an old screwdriver

    Here is the first handle I have turned. Found the old screwdriver shaft at an old farm and it was missing the handle so the first project was born. I made the handle out of chesnut wood with a 3/4" brass hex nut to turn down the ferrule. Finished with 3 coats of linseed oil and several coats...
  3. James Swan Firmer Chisel Handle

    I bought two James Swan firmer Chisels off of Ebay a while ago with the intention of making a pair of skew chisels for cleaning out dovetails. I did a lot of searching on the internet for a ferrel to use on the handle but could only find the cheap brass tube with the end rounded over. That...
  4. Double Shop Cabinet

    This is a well needed addition to my wood shop however I was told by my wife that it is not allowed to be in my shop. Nothing fancy here. This is one of two cabinets that I am building to replace the scrap wood cabinet on the wall behind it. Currently this is in the build mode. The case is made...
  5. Cube in a Cube, chip carved

    The cube in a cube idea came from American Woodworker. The inner cube is free floating and will not come out through the holes. I added some chip carving to the inner cube. I think it will make a fun conversation piece.
  6. Padauk marking knife for spring swap

    I drew Brandon W in the 2013 Marking Knife/Awl swap. I took a quick look at Brandon's (very impressive) projects to get a sense of what style he might like in a knife or awl, and saw that he already had made a scratch awl. I confirmed with him that he'd prefer a marking knife. A while back I...

  8. Birdseye Maple Multi-Tip Screwdriver

    I just finished up this little multi-bit screwdriver in birdseye maple with brass ferrule. I liked the functionality of the Lie-Nielsen version- so I used the same parts and modeled it after theirs. The handle is slightly different in shape and it is larger in diameter and longer. My African...
  9. Ipe Chisel Handles

    I've been needing some chisels for awhile and I had a bunch of really old crappy ones that needed a lot of work, so I finally got around to flattening, sharpening and making new handles for them. I just found some ipe that a guy was practically giving away and I figured I'd try that out for the...
  10. Off Topic Coffee Lounge
    Hello, this is my first real post, other than my workshop. There is a small sawmill near me that I have built a relationship with recently. They can give me rough cut at a great price, allowing me to have some material around, waiting for my next project. My question is this, how long must I...
  11. Woodworking Skill Share
    Hey there Fellow Lumberjocks. I am currently trying to put together a list of classes and seminars for my job. We have previously offered classes like "Sharpening A-Z", "Turning a Wooden Bowl on the Lathe", "Table Saw 101", and "Router 101". Those were always very popular and we are most...

    The Chisel Ferrules are finished. It looks like the prototype ferrules made for the James Swan Chisel were not Aluminum Bronze (not sure what the material was). The new chisel ferrules are made of 100% Aluminum Bronze and 316 Stainless. I have run 25 of the Aluminum Bronze and 25 of the...

  14. Power Tools, Hardware and Accessories
    I am looking to make some new tool handle for some chisels and turning tools and wondering if a brass ferrule is better than a copper ferrule or is it just personal preference and the look?
  15. Power Tools, Hardware and Accessories
    I know Craftsman isn't what it used to be. That said, I ran across a Groupon for a 2 hp combo kit. For $80, I think it might be worth a shot. Anybody have experience with this model? The Sears site shows it as a Model # 27683 .
