#Repost @philipmorleyfurniture ・・・ Last night I made a little ramped shooting board. The ramping was inspired by @clark_kellogg massive shooter he made. Still needs a little fine tuning. I mainly would use this as a long grain shooter and maybe some end grain with the option of a 45 degree location insert #microjig @microjig #customfurniture #makingthethingthatmakesthething

The top of the bench is a live-edge slab (hence the squirrelly horizontal lines), so this drawing will be the only way to lay out and reference joinery with any sort of precision. /////////////////////////////////////////// Messing around with some letters.

I think the fence will eventually be pretty nice but holy moly I had forgotten how awful this wood is to work.

Posted: 16 Oct 2015 01:47 PM PDT http://clarkatron.tumblr.com/post/131304394244 Scraper vise, done and done! Cocobolo and brass with stainless steel registration pins. The idea is to be able to clamp a scraper almost all the way up to its edge, allowing you to joint one edge with a file without chatter, then take the whole shebang to your stones in order to hone it like you would a chisel or plane blade. /////////////////////////////////////////// Working on a little scraper holder out of some brass and... Posted: 16 Oct 2015 11:09 AM PDT http://clarkatron.tumblr.com/post/131295671804 Working on a little scraper holder out of some brass and cocobolo offcuts. I’ve wanted to make something like this for a while now, and I’m excited to finally have an excuse.
