  1. Sweetheart Box

    This is a vanity box I made for my sweetheart. The front is a scroll sawed scene of a loving couple beside a picket fence under a tree. Inside the lid is a woodburned (pyrography) line from a song we had learned at summer camp a few weeks before. The box was made in the form of a book with...
  2. Lord's Prayer in Spanish Cedar

    Just finished a small Christmas gift for my in-laws. I made good use of James Booth model (Vector Art 3D) of Jesus and Tim Merrill's (see Vectric forum article) glazing technique. Thanks guys for assisting with this gift-the end result, which the photos do not due justice, is much better than I...

    Hello, I made this dolphin inlay box from Steve Goods site. I made the body out of popular. The lid is also popular with a purple streak running through it. I made the inlay out of purple heart. When I finished I dipped it into tung oil, let it dry then dipped again. Then I put a coat of...
  4. Home Made 22" Drum Sander

    Just put this up to showcase my home made 22" drum sander. I HATE sanding. And trying to get a glued up panel perfectly flat is time consuming and dirty. So I found a plan on the internet which I adapted to a larger unit. The drum is approximately 5.5" in diameter. The sand paper is held on...
  5. World's Smallest Vase

    I was goofing off on the lathe today, and with nothing more to turn than a few small pieces of redwood I popped this thing out. I have a desire to make a full size hollow form sometime, so this was a bit of practice… I custom ground a tool just to hollow this bad boy out. I would say the...

    I just bought a used Stanley Sweetheart 12-136 #4 smoothing plane on ebay. I will be in receipt of it by 11/19. In the mean time does anyone have any tips on tuning/adjusting it? Any advice on pitfalls of which to be aware would also be helpful.
  7. Hand Tools
    I inherited a plane from my late father-in-law and am wondering the age and possible value of it. I don't know the history of it but it was in a workbench drawer that came with a workbench I inherited as well. I have disassembled it and can account for all the parts. It seems functional and I...
  8. Hand Tools
    So I bought a set of Stanley's Sweetheart chisels when they first came out about 7 years ago and really liked them for the price. One of the things I appreciated about them was that they ground the sides very small so that they can get into corners without bruising the wood, much like (although...
  9. Hand Tools
    Hi Everyone, This is my first post because, after hours of searching, I haven't been able to find a good answer to this question. I am a limited hand tool user, but have found a hand plane to be invaluable for several tasks. One of which is quickly flushing joints that are not perfectly...
  10. Hand Tools
    About a year ago I bought one of the new Stanley Sweetheart No. 4 smoothers from the orange store. I used it here and there and I'm happy enough with it. But I recently started building the Paul Sellers workbench and it's gotten a lot more use. In the course of adjusting the mouth size, which...

    Pics of me ummmm... Working...Yeah Recently, I was lamenting to a friend about my limitations in the camera department. She wanted to take some pictures of me working so I demonstrated some tool use (well, the way I use them anyway ;), so now I have some pictures of me working in the shop...

    Finally using a circular saw It rained all weekend, keeping me from using my new planer, but I did manage to use my tools. I wanted to build a wine rack out of PVC for our basement. (the base is WOOD, I swear) so I did use my SCMS and finally broke down and used a circular saw on a piece of...

    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...

    Plane and Simple A few months back a member of my extended family (on my wife's side) decided to sell their house and move south. In the basement of the house was a collection of old tools from a grandfather who had passed away, and I bought a whole kitten-caboodle for $100.00 (see This Post...

    Reshaping a Stanley Sweetheart #62 Tote The other day I was working from home, I was bummed out because I had been to busy to do much woodworking lately, so I said "Hey, standing desks are supposed to be good for your, and my "joinery bench" is about the right height, why not put my laptop on...

    In Search Of... Stanley Chisels What happens when an international company decides to return the premium hand tool market and a small-town craftsman supports the move? Well, not much. How about some background? On the 5th of February I walked in to my area's family-owned and operated (since...

    Amazing Day at the Salvage Store 26FEB2016 So after talking to the owner of the salvage store for a little while he let me go down and pick the basement where all of the items from his estate buy outs go before they put them on the sales floor. I was floored with the amount of stuff that he had...
