  1. Cub Scout Pinewood Derby Cars (2006 - 2010)

    This was a fun part of Cub Scouts. During Brendan's years he won 4th place in his tiger den, 4th place in his wolf den, 1st place (2nd in pack) in bears, and grand champion for webelos I and webelos II. Brendan's involvement in building the cars increased over the years. There's only so much...
  2. Travisher in the time of the Thomas fire

    Well, it has been an interesting few weeks. The Thomas fire decimated my neighborhood and my city (Ventura) leaving hundreds of homes destroyed and thousands temporarily displaced. Building this travisher was a bit of recuperation for me after two weeks out of the house. The blade (from Elia...
  3. Copy of 18th Century Chair

    This is a chair that I made in a class at Annapolis Woodworks in Davidsonville, MD. The chair is a copy of a chair from the late 1700's, and was made mostly using techniques, tools, and materials from that era. I learned a lot during the class. For example, I did not know that craftsman from...

  7. Power Tools, Hardware and Accessories
    We have some wonderful neighbors. Last night they stopped by to visit. They had a gift for each member of our family. The great part of this was that the gifts were all things that they "found around the house" and fit perfectly with our particular interests. (If you saw their house, you...
  8. Marketplace Classifieds
    This old travisher has served me very well while shaping chair seats. It's radius is about 5" which is a little tighter than the commonly available wooden travisher. The hand is stamped "J. A. Young"...no idea if he was the maker or an owner at one time. I have no real feel for the value of...

    I was looking at a charmaker's adze that was advertised as having a #5 sweep on ebay. I saw a bunch of irons here for making your own travisher with various sweep numbers. I also saw gouges with sweep numbers. Clearly, the lower the number, the larger the radius. But a No. 5 sweep on a...

    Roughing it out. I normally spend very little time in my workshop in the winter months. The build-up to Christmas is a busy time, what with all the gifts I choose to make, and it always seemed much more appealing indoors. The ten paces through wind and rain to my 'shop seemed such a long...
