  1. Hand Tools
    I am near completing the restoration of an old mitre box (MB) which I believe was made by Stanley. Since there are no markings on the box, it has been almost impossible to find a little bit of history to help date it. What I do know is that a fellow by the name of Justus Traut made the first MB...

  2. Marble Slide

    I made a marble slide for my kids. Its a simple design similar to some others I've seen. To make the tray at the bottom I fastened two wedges to the base and used a straight bit on the router table to make the triangular recess. It worked out pretty well. The slides are glued into the groove...

    This is a birthday gift for my daughter. Its a chaotic pattern maple and black walnut end grain board. She is a great cook and was needing a larger cutting board. It measures 14 inches by 18 inches. Hope she likes it!

  4. Toolwell Mitre Box Station

    As you can see .. no matter how hard I try my bench top is always a mass of organized chaos while working on a project. As such tasks such as setting up a mitre box then removing it and moving on to the next step only to have to scoot everything back out of the way to set it back up has made it...

  5. TV Table with Storage Drawers

    We needed a stand for the TV and our primitive sound system and also storage for videos/DVDs/CDs/remote controls, etc. . We used Fiddleback Maple with Black Walnut and my husband designed a modern, timeless design that won't go out of fashion. Most of the construction was done by my husband...

  6. Bamboo Tassimo Coffee Holder

    Just a quick little project to hold my wifes coffee supply. Plus I got to use some of the bamboo I just bought. Something about bamboo really attracts me, I think its because it makes me think of tropical jungles and I'm pretty much over this winter, 2 months ago!

  7. Eye-glass case

    Hey Andy ! Thanks for the inspiration ! I needed an eyeglass case and Andy's palm valet was a great starting point. My twists were to taper the case (that's 75°, cut with a #5 hand plane) and to use a rare earth magnet, cup and washer for positive closure. There's a leather pad that captures...

    Making the Hand Tool Commitment So as I plan out my first "Real" workbench I have read dozens of articles, forum threads and blogs here and around the internet about the different bench styles and the build process for them. One common theme stood out and that was they all were made using...

    They're everywhere. They're EVERYWHERE!! It's hard to believe just two short years ago the only hand tools I owned were a retractable measuring tape and a few miniature tools (6" nail bar, vise grips, etc). Then I joined Lumberjocks and shortly thereafter The Hand Plane Swap. That's when I got...

    Bench appliances: Mitre jack Some time ago I stumbled across a mitre jack in an antiques shop. I had read references to them here on LJ's so I knew what it was. I had to do a repair and a lot of cleanup to get it working. After that I had to figure out how to use it on my bench. Once I got that...

    Stanley's first, a Traut patent mitre box I have been sending out some mitre boxes to folks and rather than leave them on their own to figure things out this seemed like a good way to start. This first box was developed and then patented by Justus A Traut in June of 1877. In the video I've...

    With a nod to the Epic Thread, there are hopefully enough hand-tool enthusiasts out there to address a LJ topic area that's lacking: the venerable mitre box. Stanley, Langdon, Goodell Mfg, Miller's Falls, etc. What you got? What you want? Questions? Dreams? Boxes and saws for them, post it all...

    Hoping someone here can help me figure something out. I use an old mitre box a lot (not a chop saw) and I cannot seem to get a square vertical cut on it. I have shimmed the wooden base and when I check it with a square to the blade it is square. But when I make a cut it is never quite vertical...

    Folks, I just finished building my crosscut slide, nothing special, just like all of the simple sleds out there. It works, and its accurate, easy and safe. I am thinking that I no longer have a use for my miter saw. My Ridgid Miter saw served me well when I did not have a table saw, but I...

    I just found a nice old Stanley Mitre Box on Craigslist. The gentleman who listed it had inherited from his grandfather back in the 60's. Since he never really caught the woodworking bug I gues he's had it in his basement for the last 50 years or so. I met him at his house where he had dragged...

    I bought a couple of mitre boxes in the recent past, and I'm trying to identify them and possibly determine value. Any help anyone can provide would be much appreciated. The first box is made by Arrowheart Industries of Detroit, MI. It's a compound mitre box, which is a difficult thing to...
