Khalaf Oud Luthiery: November 2009
http://oudluthier.blogspot.com/2009_11_01_archive.html
Monday, November 16, 2009. I was looking at some hi-res scans. Of L'Art du menuisier and found an interesting element just below the top to the right of the left leg. I've never noticed this before, and am curious as to its function. If anyone has any idea what this thing is, please comment below. Labels: Workbenches / Roubo Bench. Tuesday, November 3, 2009.

Khalaf Oud Luthiery: January 2010
http://oudluthier.blogspot.com/2010_01_01_archive.html
Tuesday, January 12, 2010. Traditional Woodowork in the Balkans. The following video which shows one such shop on Athos. Much like many of the pre-electric European and American shops, this is one is powered by a water wheel and leather belting. Later in the video we see a monk who specialized in miniature carving. Some of these ornate crosses take years to finish. We also see a human-powered olive oil mill. Although not a monastic setting, the ethnographic museum "Etar" in Gabrovo, Bulgaria.

Khalaf Oud Luthiery: October 2009
http://oudluthier.blogspot.com/2009_10_01_archive.html
Monday, October 26, 2009. I often find myself drawn to the shop on quiet Sunday afternoons. I feel the need to build something or make progress on the latest project, but oftentimes I end up cleaning or rearranging things instead. I rather enjoy making my workspace more efficient. It makes the real work happen quicker and easier. The new tools however have begun to pile up, since my previous tool rack was created to store a relatively fixed number of tools. That didn't last long. My plane shelf has been ...

Khalaf Oud Luthiery: December 2009
http://oudluthier.blogspot.com/2009_12_01_archive.html
Wednesday, December 9, 2009. Brese Panel, Bench discoveries. Latest creation is a stainless steel panel-size plane with an atypical infill. It doesn't really have an infill at all. I first saw this type of arrangement while browsing through some old plane patents, and later when I read an article about the Sindelar Tool Museum. This area is perfectly for my index finger. It's almost like the plane was made for my hand. I feel like I'm in total control when I place my finger here. It's great&#...I don't h...

Khalaf Oud Luthiery: August 2010
http://oudluthier.blogspot.com/2010_08_01_archive.html
Monday, August 30, 2010. Nostalgia For The Work- Final Part. Here's the last of the nostalgic photos. Enjoy! Woodworking school for black young women. Vocational school for boys, New York. Furniture shop, late 19th c. Note that two leg vises have no sliding handles on the screw. Woodcarving, really crisp and fine work. Boys' school. Nice chute board and plane on the bench in the foreground. Prison woodshop. Note these leg vises are missing their handles too. Makes sense here. Wednesday, August 25, 2010.

Khalaf Oud Luthiery: September 2009

Monday, September 28, 2009. Philadelphia Oct. 2-4. Directions to the event can be found here:. Http:/ www.vfconventioncenter.com/directions.htm. Friday, September 25, 2009. The Lie-Nielsen Time Machine. It's funny what happens when you can't sleep. I have a netbook on my nightstand, and when I can't sleep I check a couple woodworking forums, e-mail. When I'm bored with that (and I haven't fallen back asleep watching old episodes. Workbenches / Roubo Bench. Sunday, September 6, 2009. The one thing I don't...

Khalaf Oud Luthiery: July 2009
http://oudluthier.blogspot.com/2009_07_01_archive.html
Friday, July 24, 2009. It's been about a year since I finished my first Roubo bench project. I didn't think I'd do it again in my lifetime. But here I am a year later and I've just completed a third massive Roubo-style bench. I'm using this bench to display Benchcrafted vises at the Woodworking In America Conference in St. Charles, IL next month. This bench will be used lightly over the course of the weekend, and Sunday afternoon when the conference ends, the bench will be available for pick up. The slid...

Khalaf Oud Luthiery: March 2010
http://oudluthier.blogspot.com/2010_03_01_archive.html
Sunday, March 21, 2010. Tour of the Aquila Strings Factory. Mimmo also makes gut strings. I do not sell these, since they are quite expensive. But they are, without question, the best-sounding strings I've ever used. If you've never tried gut strings before, I suggest you try out a set. In this video Mimmo shows the process for making Nylgut, the synthetic gut strings that Aquila is famous for. Here Mimmo shows the beginning steps of how real gut strings are made. Sunday, March 14, 2010. What is an Oud?
