Plane Shavings: December 2013
http://planeshavings.blogspot.com/2013_12_01_archive.html
Wednesday, December 4, 2013. I made this sign and sign post for the shop about a month ago but never got around to posting pictures. Does this mean that I'm going into business? Absolutely not. I don't even have the energy to do what's on my wife's list much less try to do things for actual customers. This is just another piece in my quest to immerse myself in my own little 18th century fantasy world. The fact that I listed turner on there is a bit of a stretch for now, but I'm getting there.

Plane Shavings: September 2013
http://planeshavings.blogspot.com/2013_09_01_archive.html
Monday, September 30, 2013. Finally, Something Useful Off the Spring Pole Lathe. I've been slowly trying to gather a collection of tools for windsor chair making over the last year or so. This past Father's Day my wife got me the large Lie-Nielsen/Drew Langsner froe. I'm sure it's going to be a great tool, but without something solid and wooden to whack it with it's kind of useless. Time to make a froe club. Ready for a log. The tools. Ashley Iles carbon steel turning tools from TFWW. Sterling Tool Works...

Plane Shavings: My Long, Strange Journey to a Windsor Chair Class
http://planeshavings.blogspot.com/2014/08/my-long-strange-journey-to-windsor.html
Sunday, August 10, 2014. My Long, Strange Journey to a Windsor Chair Class. Building a Windsor chair had been on my list of things I've wanted to do for many years. I've always loved the form from the first time I ever saw a sack back Windsor and have since come to develop an affinity for many other styles; the comb back and the continuous arm, as well as the less conventional, like the writing arm chair and the Windsor fan chair. Day one. Shaving spindles on the shave horse with the spoke shave, in.

Thursday, April 24, 2014. An Update on a Personal Note; And a Completed Project.

Plane Shavings: Another New Hobby/Obsession
http://planeshavings.blogspot.com/2014/09/another-new-hobbyobsession.html
Wednesday, September 10, 2014. In a recent blog post back in July, I'd hinted about a new form of woodworking I'd recently become excited about that wasn't as physically taxing on my body, yet was every bit as challenging and rewarding as furniture making. And that new obsession is spoon carving. I'd actually done a blog about it once before, back in January, where I chronicled my very first spoon. Ordered this spoon from one of my spoon carving inspirations, Peter. Didn't make the cut pile. Get to and u...

Plane Shavings: More Details Coming Soon!
http://planeshavings.blogspot.com/2014/07/more-details-coming-soon.html
Saturday, July 26, 2014. More Details Coming Soon! I know the blog has been awfully quiet with no new post for quite a while now, and for that I apologize. It's not because there has been no action in the shop the past two months, it's actually been quite the contrary, it's been a hive of activity out there. Oh, and did I mention he is super smart? More details on the build and the finished results coming here soon. My third visit, a few weeks ago, was from Jerome Bias. In addition to all the cool visiti...

Plane Shavings: February 2014
http://planeshavings.blogspot.com/2014_02_01_archive.html
Wednesday, February 12, 2014. Just Too Good To Burn. The extra added benefit to green woodworking is that the waste makes the best fire starter that money can't buy. And lots of it. And it's a heck of a lot of fun working that nice green stuff. A real nice pile of starter fuel for the wood stove. Two aprons, two stretchers and one stile; sitting atop everything that. WASN'T an apron, a stretcher or a stile. Monday, February 10, 2014. A Stable Full of Horses. And seeing Elia Bizzarri. Of course, after bui...
