The Newport Mechanick: Pressing Business

http://thenewportmechanick.blogspot.com/2015/03/pressing-business.html

A blog about hand tool woodworking, tinsmithing, and coppersmithing. We strive to perpetuate old world craftsmanship with each piece that we create. Wednesday, March 11, 2015. Some jobs are clear priorities. One of those crossed my path this weekend. My wife and I sent the children upstairs to clean and neaten. Several trips later, all of the trash had been collected and we had a new candidate for the" Isle of Misfit Toys". A little closer to air-worthy. March 11, 2015 at 3:54 PM. Maybe your son could he...

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 ...

About Mr. Stafford. 23 February, 2016. 11} And it fell on a day, that he came thither, and he turned into the chamber, and lay there.”. Who knows; I still enjoy imagining such things anyway.

The customer has a great number of fine and well cared for ant...

Two Tables – Faithfully Restored

https://faithfullyrestored.wordpress.com/2016/04/02/two-tables

Restore unto me the joy of thy salvation; and uphold me with thy free spirit. Psalms 51:12. About Mr. Stafford. 2 April, 2016. Here are two mahogany drop leaf tables; the more circular of the two being a sort of pie crust table and the other, a gate leg table. I have been unable to find any specific maker information about either table as of yet, but the craftsmen left several clues to the tables’ ages in some of their techniques. Exodus 24:12-13) “ And the LORD said unto Moses, Come up to me into ...

Tension – Faithfully Restored

https://faithfullyrestored.wordpress.com/2016/03/26/tension

Restore unto me the joy of thy salvation; and uphold me with thy free spirit. Psalms 51:12. About Mr. Stafford. 26 March, 2016. As I was twisting the ropes, I began to wonder if Noah might have used this simple clamp while he was building his ark. I imagined long rope cables, three or four inches thick, spanning the width of the ark, with a large beam, perhaps ten feet long, twisting the giant tourniquet. I could hear the massive beams of gopher wood ( Genesis 6:14. Sincerely and respectfully,. Share you...

JMAW Works: Open Source Hollows and Rounds: Ironing out the Details

http://jmawworks.blogspot.com/2015/05/open-source-hollows-and-rounds-ironing.html

Thursday, May 7, 2015. Open Source Hollows and Rounds: Ironing out the Details. Continuing in the saga for a. User" grade side escapement molding planes. This time I chase the gorilla in the room, the iron. The irons in a traditional set of H&R planes are pretty intimidating to any wannabe non-blacksmith plane "enthusiast" like myself. Think about the processing required for traditional English H&R (18X):. Nested, still some waste in the centers. To me this seems like the scariest part, though in reality...

Atelierul lui Dedal: Suport pentru betisoare parfumate

http://tektoneion.blogspot.com/2015/08/suport-pentru-betisoare-parfumate.html

Joi, 6 august 2015. Suport pentru betisoare parfumate. De fiecare dată când încerc să ies din zona de confort, am nevoie de un proiect mic și simplu, pe care să testez conceptele și să îmi antrenez reflexele. De când am terminat relieful Sthenias. Foarte multe nu sunt de povestit. Lemnul este de Liriodendron tulipifera (tulipwood), iar decorația este de inspirație orientală. La sfârșit, am adăugat un strat de baiț și unul de ceară.

Atelierul lui Dedal: martie 2014

http://tektoneion.blogspot.com/2014_03_01_archive.html

Sâmbătă, 22 martie 2014. Rame pentru lampi in stil japonez. De la bun început, am plănuit dimpreună cu soția ca dormitorul nostru, aflat la mansardă, să fie decorat în stil japonez. Însă atunci când am vrut să instalez corpurile de iluminat, lucrurile nu se aliniau așa cum se cuvine, așa încât a trebuit să fac două rame pentru a masca diferențele. Stilul ales a fost, evident, cel japonez, cu îmbinări simple, de tip lap joint. Pentru a anima un pic spațiul din mijloc, am decis să adaug câte un haiku.
