  1. Shelf for Wooden Planes and Miscellaneous Stuff

    Two racks into organizing my workshop and I still seem to be drowning in tools, so I thought I'd put up one of the shelves that I'd planned to put above the tool racks on two of the walls. Basically I just screwed a 44mm square batten to the walls and screwed the shelf to the underside of the...

  4. Wood & Lumber
    I'm wondering if there are any 'specialty' lumber requests for US hardwoods out there? I have several friends with sawmills all over the country and if they know there's a need are open to keeping an eye out to filling it.

    The Journey Begins stefang offered a challenge the other day for us to create a blog on hand tool use. That was good timing, because it's been on my mind for some time now. This will be a series in several parts-I don't yet know how many. If you are lucky, I will have the sense to know when to...

    Know your wood #1-Cherry Most people only talk about grain at the most superficial level of how it looks. We woodworkers enter the fibres. We tease the cells apart with the chisel's edge and search for weaknesses and strengths in the species. We want to know these intimate details so we can...

    JACKPOT!! Hmmm...where to start? Here is a video and some pictures of old wooden planes and some shavers (or scrapers, or whatever they are) I found in my neighbors woodworking shop (that he lets me work in). He had them tucked away in a drawer that I've never opened. I stumbled upon them...

    Shop Safety Outside of the Shop. I do not really care for home improvement projects. Well, perhaps that is a little harsh. I should say that I do not enjoy them nearly as much as designing and building fine furniture. The other part of home improvement that I do not like is that I seem to be...

    Aches, pains and pallet wood, oh my! Following its recent successful creation, I opted to give Franken-Rack free rein to terrorize the domain. It was my hope that it would bring home the finest lumber in all the land. Instead, it brought me pallet and crate wood. Several times I have berated...

  10. Hand Tools
    Christmas came really early this year. I have been building out my shop since buying a new house and told my dad I'm interested in learning more about how to really use hand tools. So yesterday, he showed up at my house with a drawer full of tools I'd never seen - tools he had from when he was...
