  1. One CRAZY BOWL and two on FIRE

    I had actually set out to make a different design, however I was not sure how to accomplish it, this is totally different from what was in my foggy head. One problem the size of the piece of wood was not the right size I think. needed to be a smaller log. NEXT TIME, you just wait. I WILL DO...
  2. Vintage late 40s' Sargent Plane Cleanup

    Decided to clean up an old plane of my Great Grandfathers this weekend. The lever cap logo suggests it's vintage 1942 - 1950 (which is the right time frame for my family history) The cleanup was simply a vinegar bath/soak followed by a very light brushing with a soft brass hand brush and a...
  3. Small Boxes

    These were fun to make, Thie first is a Zebra Wood (top/btm) with Purple Heart Sides. The top slides in and is supposed to be hard to see. Mine is ok, The top and bottom needed a little stain to bring out the wood so I used a Dark Walnut stain, and several light coats until I got what I was...
  4. Food tongs

    Use various woods, I just set that are hard and resistant. Maybe they were a little difficult to handle but it serves to hold practice. Just glue and press.
  5. Cheap and simple bench vise

    It's a bit pathetic compared to a real bench vise, but it works and it's good enough for me.
  6. Picnic Table for 2

    New gesign for a pincic table, I made it for 2, but if you make it a little wider, it could accomodate more. It has a foot rest and the entry if easier. I have a free plan available with a cut list, but it is in french. The plan can be loaded at ...

    Ana White posted this as a toy box on her blog. I thought it would make a great box to hold firewood for the fire box. Fun project.

  8. Ceda-Syca Box -- NOT a spoon

    Made out of cedar and sycamore with walnut splines. The box measures 7'' x 7'' x 3'' and the top is 8'' x 8''. Each side of the box is half of each wood and the sides are alternated. It turned out better than I had envisioned. This was also my first attempt at spline joints and although...
  9. Self Serving - Art Deco inspired serving tray

    I recently re-connected with an old lunchtime college friend from 27 years ago and discovered her and her husband now live near me so I planned a little reunion by designing and building a sturdy serving tray so her husband can serve her breakfast in bed. I'm still a woodworking newbie, but...

  11. Planes

    I recently picked up this old Bailey #5 (first photo) at a thrift shop for $2.00. A great rainy day project! This past weekend was the time. Five hours and about $3.00 worth of sandpaper, WD-40 and some elbow grease, which I am finding in lesser amounts lately, brought it to the second photo. It...
  12. Hand Tools
    So I buy tools like everyday to every other day in my area. Mostly I get 5 to maybe 10 total tools on a pick. Yesterday was an ABSOLUTE monster!!!! I actually had to stop stacking boxes because I wasn't going to be able to get the stuff home! I have an open invitation to go back to boot…...
  13. Hand Tools
    Well, I finally came across a Type 2 Sargent #407 so I snatched it up. This was rare enough that, yes, I had to pay a pretty penny for it. It looked a bit beat up on fleaBay but had all the parts, so I dug out my electrolysis bath and went to work. . . It originally looked like this: ...
  14. Hand Tools
    As all know, I like my Sargent planes… a lot. Anyway, just picked another Sargent 410C, my third 410 and second "C". This one has been well used and repaired more than once. What strikes me is the age of the repair to the lever cap. Looks like the repair itself, could be 80-100yr old but who...
  15. Hand Tools
    Hello, all…long time listener, first time caller… I'm looking for information on a hand plane, but I'm "technologically-challenged" and can't find many facts online. Then I remembered that you lumbernerds have nothing better to do, than to show-off how smart you are…kidding, kidding…jeez… I...

  17. Power Tools, Hardware and Accessories
    First off, I know next to nothing abut the Sergeant planes except they are OK but no Stanley. I got one for a steel off ebay and although the frog is decent enough, I didn't know if is possible to retro fit a Stanley frog on it. As it is right now, there is no frog travel adjustment and the...
  18. Hand Tools
    I have a Sargent plane I bought several years ago for the princely sum of $3 at a yard sale. I thought it was a 414 but it had a 409 Frog, (marked '409'). Now I'm certain it's a 414, and that the 409 Frog is what was put into about anything that used a 2" iron. My question is, how do I tell if...
  19. Hand Tools
    Here is my Fulton hand plane family to date. Fulton Tool Co. brand was launched by Sears, Roebuck and Co. in the fall of 1902 offering circular (wood mill) saw blades and handsaws. In the fall of 1904, the line of Fulton tools was expanded with a broad line of hand planes manufactured by Sargent...
