New boxes painted with milk paint and ready for finish.
Turning some blackwood to make mouthpieces.
And a quiet evening in the shop, bending springs, drilling holes, tapping threads...
The difference between a hand planed surface, on the left, and a machine planed surface, on the right.
The difference is subtle, but there.
I made up this new jig for the shop. It’s a hand plane track for truing up rough cut mahogany strips. The strips will be made into box sides.
The track makes it easy to joint an edge 90 degrees to the face and stops the plane from cutting bellow the specified depth, giving a uniform thickness.
The bottom image shows the difference between a hand planed surface and the surface straight off of the table saw. The hand planed surface is perfectly flat, smooth, and glossy. The sawn surface is dull and rough, with fuzzy tear out.
The end result is that each box side is perfectly matched, at a 17mm width exactly. The width straight off the table saw can be + or - 1mm at times.
It’s easy to true up the box sides now, rather than after they are made up into boxes. And these nice flat surface will give you invisible glue lines.
I wooden comb that I made as a gift.
The prongs are split bamboo which has been roasted in an oven for added stiffness. The unique structure of the bamboo makes these prongs much more durable than hardwoods.
The body is made from tullipwood and verawood, with an inlay of abalone.
A minimalist tea cabinet made from cedar.
This was one of my first furniture projects. I used hand tools for roughing/sawing/planing/joinery, but went to the powered lathe for the verawood drawer knob...
Looking forward to more projects like this one!
For those of you getting the newest version of the Okin. This is what the upgraded drill looks like compared to the older bamboo handled one.
The new drill is on the left.
Finishing up some mahogany boxes for this batch of Okin vaporizers.
I recently upgraded my table saw to an old Delta 10″. Cast iron top. Really enjoying it!
And as much as I dislike MDF... well, I have to admit that I love it for making shop jigs.
A mushroom box.. Painted in traditional milk paint.
A lot has happened since my last update and I have catching up to do here on the blog!
I moved my life and shop from the Northern woods of Ontario down south, into the heart of farm country.
The new shop is in a farm house built in the 1800′s... and the only flat surface is the top of my workbench... everything else is crooked. But it has a wonderful charm.
Getting ready for new homes.
Not completely done, but close!
Marigold yellow.
Bayberry green.
Hand drills made from roasted bamboo and waxed cotton thread.
Stamping and finishing!
