Jamie Ralph - Furniture Making: The Tools

http://furniture-making.blogspot.com/p/tools.html

A very good Marking Gauge purchased from Axminster, and is a copy of well known makes such as Veritas and TiteMark. I am very impressed, and is much better and easier to use compared to conventional gauges, as it has a round cutter which means there is much more control, especially around the edges of the wood you are marking.

Thursday, 28 February 2013. OUCE255 - Pricing Strategy. I have selected three similar products to my chosen piece, which is a garden bench.

http://furniture-making.blogspot.com/2013/11/lime-award-commission.html

Thursday, 21 November 2013. This is a rather belated post due to other uni commitments, but at the beginning of the year I entered a competition to design Leeds Institute for Medical Education (LIME), which was presented to five members of staff for outstanding commitment to teaching. My main focus for the piece is two hands 'passing' knowledge from a old hand to a young one, with the knowledge being symbolised by a glass heart with the medical symbol (Asclepius).
