Mulesaw: Treasure chest with curved lid part 8, assembly
http://mulesaw.blogspot.com/2015/07/treasure-chest-with-curved-lid-part-8.html
Being old fashioned, the cool way. Sunday, July 19, 2015. Treasure chest with curved lid part 8, assembly. After I had glued up the lid, I cut the ends of so they were level with the sides. Then I started rounding over the outside of the lid using a plane. I took a break from the free hand planing, and decided to glue up the lower part of the chest. This went conspicuously smooth. Even the diagonal measurements were spot on. Next task was to fit a striking plate in the lid. I marked out the position ...

Mulesaw: December 2014
http://mulesaw.blogspot.com/2014_12_01_archive.html
Being old fashioned, the cool way. Tuesday, December 9, 2014. The title may be a bit misleading, because it is not about tools used to build maritime stuff, rather than tools I have used the past year for hobby woodworking on a ship. As some of you may remember, I made a tool chest for the sea last year. During the last year I have built a couple of projects using the tool kit, so I feel that I can give an honest review of it. Cabinet with many drawers. A carved name sign. Fairy tale princess bed. The to...

Mulesaw: Treasure chest with curved lid part 3 dovetails and glueing up the bottom.
http://mulesaw.blogspot.com/2015/07/treasure-chest-with-curved-lid-part-3.html
Being old fashioned, the cool way. Sunday, July 5, 2015. Treasure chest with curved lid part 3 dovetails and glueing up the bottom. Today I chopped the dovetails of the four corners of the chest. A benefit of using spruce is that you can make the dovetails really tight since the wood compresses very well. This time I made the tails first like at home, and I do find that I am able to make nicer dovetails that way compared to when I make them pins first. I found some more spruce that could be glued up to f...

Mulesaw: May 2015
http://mulesaw.blogspot.com/2015_05_01_archive.html
Being old fashioned, the cool way. Saturday, May 30, 2015. Canvas tool roll for regular chisels 2. After sewing on the two major parts that will form the base for the individual pockets, I laid out the sizes of each individual pocket. I graduated the pockets in size, so the narrowest one is approximately 3/8" wide and the widest one is a full 2". Off course it is possible to put a narrow chisel in a wide pocket, but if the size fits - the chisel won't shift around, and it looks better in my opinion.

The Twin Maples: The saws are here!
http://thetwinmaples.blogspot.com/2015/08/the-saws-are-here.html
A Teenager's Journey into Woodworking and Life-here lies naivety and beginnings! Tuesday, August 4, 2015. The saws are here! A while ago, Sebastian offered to send me a saw on Reddit, in a comment chain on how to get blades out of some kannas the OP had inherited. He ended up sending me multiple! First, the beautiful pruning saw Murakami sent me as a gift:. Murakami says it was forged 40 years ago by Nakaya Masaemon, and has never been used! This will be a cherished gift! And here's the rip saw! Using th...

Mulesaw: Treasure chest with curved lid part 7, the lid
http://mulesaw.blogspot.com/2015/07/treasure-chest-with-curved-lid-part-7.html
Being old fashioned, the cool way. Tuesday, July 14, 2015. Treasure chest with curved lid part 7, the lid. After the glue had dried I decided that it didn't look right if I'd led the inside stay as it was with flat boards forming the surface. I adjusted the scrub iron in the plane, so it was able to take a bit of a cut even when only the sides of the plane were riding on high spots. It was far from ideal, but I managed to get the inside to form some sort of a curve instead. I am getting used to making an...

Mulesaw: Treasure chest with curved lid part 6, the lid
http://mulesaw.blogspot.com/2015/07/treasure-chest-with-curved-lid-part-6.html
Being old fashioned, the cool way. Thursday, July 9, 2015. Treasure chest with curved lid part 6, the lid. The lid is going to be almost semicircular from the front going to the back. Length wise it will be straight. I started by drawing an arc that would correspond to my plans for the lid. Then I scribed the piece of a circle using that setting. I measured the curved distance ( I know you can calculate it as well, but I don't remember how to since it is only a fraction of a circle). Each pair of bevelle...
