The Monastery: Baking
http://milwaukeemonastery.blogspot.com/2015/03/baking.html
For the manner in which men live is so different from the way in which they ought to live, that he who leaves the common course for that which he ought to follow will find that it leads him to ruin rather than safety. Tuesday, March 24, 2015. I don't post a lot of my baking on here. So I'm going to take a minute to do so. I love food, and I love making it. Baking is a rewarding and relaxing activity for me. It's a way to get friends together, and enjoy good food. Bacon focaccia bread with pesto. I like w...

The Monastery: Lee Valley Plane Iron
http://milwaukeemonastery.blogspot.com/2015/04/lee-valley-plane-iron.html
For the manner in which men live is so different from the way in which they ought to live, that he who leaves the common course for that which he ought to follow will find that it leads him to ruin rather than safety. Thursday, April 2, 2015. Lee Valley Plane Iron. The original SW #3 iron and back iron next to the Lee Valley/Veritas set. The LV blade is ever so slightly thicker. One thing I like about their back irons is the close fit to the iron. It's a lot less set up work. Mouth with the original iron.

The Monastery: Stanley Sweetheart No. 3 Plane

For the manner in which men live is so different from the way in which they ought to live, that he who leaves the common course for that which he ought to follow will find that it leads him to ruin rather than safety. Tuesday, March 24, 2015. Stanley Sweetheart No. 3 Plane. I found a nice user grade Stanley SW No. 3 the other day. Now I just have to decide if I want to flatten the sole and tune it. I have another No. 3 plane, but it isn't nearly as nice.and not a Sweetheart. Or do I stick it on the shelf?

The Clueless Woodwright: Failure is not...not an Option
http://thecluelesswoodwright.blogspot.com/2014/03/failure-is-notnot-option.html
Sunday, March 2, 2014. Failure is not.not an Option. Those of you that have been following my blog for a while have noticed that I have had several cliff hangers that have not been addressed. I would like to blame these loose ends on relocating for my new job.but mostly it is because I am a lazy blogger. So here is my small peace offering for those that have been waiting anxiously (but not really) to find out how my basket weaving attempt. Two cherry faggots for the sides. In case you aren't familiar (li...

The Clueless Woodwright: Woodwright Workout
http://thecluelesswoodwright.blogspot.com/2014/06/woodwright-workout.html
Tuesday, June 17, 2014. Seeing as I am an overambitious, yet obessively compulsive, woodworker I recently found myself in an uphill battle with a massive slab of oak. The bench in the shop at work has been used and abused for as long as I have been alive. Word on the street is that it hasn't even been flattened since it was first built.so I took the liberty of flattening it myself. 20 years of grime, sweat, and I am pretty sure some blood. I finished up going with the grain (as best I could) and planing ...

The Clueless Woodwright: November 2013
http://thecluelesswoodwright.blogspot.com/2013_11_01_archive.html
Wednesday, November 13, 2013. The second video is equally as interesting (same group of woodsman? Wednesday, November 6, 2013. Nature Does it Best. I could have found definitive proof from a 1620s English woodcut of a pitchfork. I could have designed small yet strong joints that could withstand years of bad weather. I could have spent the afternoon dressing my stock and fussing to make sure everything fit tight. OrI could let nature do its thing, and take care of all the tough stuff for me.

The Clueless Woodwright: 17th Century Hatchets
http://thecluelesswoodwright.blogspot.com/2014/03/17th-century-hatchets.html
Wednesday, March 26, 2014. As a work around, the blacksmiths at the museum reprofile modern axes to better impersonate these actual historical artifacts. My new hatchet started its life as a Wetterlings broad axe. That's right, us badass pilgrims use broad axes as hatchets, but I digress). Stock Wetterlings Short Handled Broad Axe #190. The pattern that my new hatchet is based on is from Martin's Hundred. Archeologist's sketches of a Martin's Hundred hatchet. Next I reground the bit. Overall this is a be...

The Clueless Woodwright: The Sweet Smell of Success
http://thecluelesswoodwright.blogspot.com/2014/02/the-sweet-smell-of-success.html
Wednesday, February 5, 2014. The Sweet Smell of Success. After many broken spoons. And plenty of.explicit words, I finally finished my first spoon. The proportions are a little off, the whole thing twisted like a corkscrew when it dried, and the bowl is a tad bit lop sided, but I feel like the proud parent of an ugly baby. I chickened out from adding chip carving to the handle. I left the knife marks on, I think it gives more character. I learned a few key things in my quest for a wooden spoon:. I was an...
