The Three Jawed Brace
A few weeks ago I watched a video by Rex Kruger about the Three Jawed Chuck Brace Adapter thing available from Lie Nielsen and Garret Wade. It got me to thinking… I have a crate full of old braces that need restoration and rehoming. Why not take one of them and modify it? The obvious way to do this would be to cut the old chuck off and weld on a new one… But my welder isn’t working and non…

Hand Planes: why they work
Hand planes work. Obviously, we use them all of the time. People have been using them for around 2000 years. Yet a Friend who is an engineer recently pointed out to me that they can’t work. From an Engeneer’s pov the flat sole with an iron sticking out cannot possibly create a sraight flat surface. And he’s right. We use this fact when using a smoothing plane (smooth plane) to level joints in…
Mouse
I’m finishing up a wee small mouse scribe/gage I started a while back. About 3″ long and 1.25″ tall (closed). Made from found cutoffs and pre used materials I believe the center part is ipe and the sides are padauk. A 1/4-20 carriage bolt and a wing nut, and a Ticonderoga #2 soft pencil.

Wood Library
Way back when the world was new and the rocks were still soft, one of the first masters that I worked with (Nicholas Raith) impressed upon me the importance of knowing all the different wood types that you might encounter. He had 6 boards @ 10″ x 24″ and occasionally quiz the newbies on them. He also suggested that I make a sample of every wood as I encountered them. This for years I’ve been…

Making Wooden Screws 1
Wooden Screws, wood threading, screw making etc has been a bane of my woodworking career for as long as I can remember. Way way back at my beginning, I bought a couple of “ordinary” (cheaper) taps and screw boxes (the die of wood threading) expecting ordinary results. The threads broke off, or the cutters broke, or the tap and box cut so close that turning the screw in the threaded hole was…

Steady on now!
Ok, calm down. You all (both of you) know that I prefer and promote hand tool woodworking, or as I often call it Pre-Industrial Woodworking. But i’m getting old (that’s my excuse and I’m sticking to it), 62, my back is all achy, knuckles scream and hurt etc. And since I don’t have and can’t afford real apprentices, sometimes I use power tools to do the hard parts (planing, Sawing etc, you know…
