  1. Teamwork Boxes (Weaver Lynn, Glass Guy Carl)

    The concept is that I wanted to make boxes collaborating with friends who had talents that I did not. Weaving and stained glass are not among my talents. However, I have friends who do those things well. Lynn does textile lectures and sells at shows throughout our region. My problem was how...

  3. Large Mirrored Door Upper Case in Cherry

    I finally got around to making the upper case for a large Dresser/Case combination I designed a couple of years ago. The case is made from Pennsylvania Cherry with Sapele adjustable shelves. The case is about 48" high, 14" deep and 45 "wide. It was made to fit on top of the lower chest of...
  4. Warping frame for restored Leclerck Loom

    My 14 year old daughter along with other members of the family are getting into a new hobby; weaving. We bought an old loom. It's a Leclerck from Canada. It is 50 to 75 years old and needed lots of help, refinish and parts. It is actually kind of fun, because it is all so mechanical. Here is...
  5. Organic Sculpture: The Runner (1 of 4)

    The Runner Dimensions: 5.5' x 3.5' x 7.5' I uploaded my project "The Observer" before while asking the question if you guys considered my sculpture as woodworking. A lot of people agreed its woodworking (in the purest form) and some even requested I upload photos of the other sculptures. As...
  6. Childs Fairy Garden Sign

    Somehow the Wood Buddies shop clans keep growing. One of the newest members mom saw a garden sign and she requested a Fairy Garden sign for her daughter. The sign is laminated 3/16" x 4" x 12" finished alder purchased in package sets from Laser Bits. The fairy swinging from the moon is free...
  7. Weaving bench

    These are benches made for my niece, who just got her first loom. There is no hardware used, only oak pegs and glue. The seat height is adjustable via plug-in stop blocks. (+plus - the seat makes a nifty serving tray! ;-)
  8. Inkle Loom

    Quite a few members of our family got into weaving. So restoring an antique floor weaving loom was the first project. Here is the second. These are Inkle Looms. They are used for the weaving of belt type of things. I used 3/4" plywood and 3/4" dowel. Here are some inkle looms build by other LJ's:
  9. Pear wood Stool

    This is another piece made from "found" wood-a couple of Bradford pears were being taken down in front of a local business. Unfortunately the logs had already been sawn into short lengths (about 2') but I still grabbed a few of the larger ones. I rived the billets for all the legs & stretchers...
  10. Designing Woodworking Projects
    In light of a certain recent thread I thought this passage was particularly appropriate. It comes from the lecture "Traffic" in the book The Crown of Wild Olive by John Ruskin, the grandfather of the Arts and Crafts movement. You can read the whole thing here...
  11. Blogs
    start: spinningwheel repair I will confess a fascination with spinning wheels and looms and all related things. partially because they look so complicated, partially because they have so much variation. it seems like (with the pre-massed produced ones), every single one is somewhat different...
  12. Blogs
    My Inkle Loom - Need some help getting started I made the heddles today only to find out the directions must of been in error because I believe they should be twice the length that I ended up with. I really think I need someone to walk me though getting started. Does anyone want to help me...
  13. Power Tools, Hardware and Accessories
    My work table has 7/8 inch holes drilled for bench dogs. I would like to find four clamps that I can insert up through the hole in the 2 inch thick top so I can clamp things in place. What I am looking for is a clamp without the spring clutch. I have some of these and they are a pain to work...

    All, To thos of you who responded yeaterday to my distress call, thank you! I checked most everything out and got nowhere. I have posted pics of what we are looking for in hopes that someone out there can tell us where to get them. They have to be made somewhere - manufacturers are using...
