Tuesday, January 26, 2010. Some More Slow Progress. I had some trouble getting momentum back after Christmas break, but I am reaching the point where the finished piece doesn't seem too far off. After a few days of planing and flattening the back-panel it was glued in and work began on the frames for the glass doors. Frame members fixed and ready for glue. Poor unfinished cabinet collecting dust and feeling neglected. Junior (a classmate) was working on a new counter for the Gumboot Cafe that is next to ...

Barbara Shelton: November 2009
http://barbarashelton.blogspot.com/2009_11_01_archive.html
Sunday, November 22, 2009. Well, half the class was down sick throughout the past month, myself included, and it took me a while to feel like I made enough progress to post a decent update. While trying to get my momentum back (and to procrastinate on another design decision) I made a 1/16" chisel. My dad gave me a set of old needle files he found in his shop, they have been perfect for making small chisels and knives, just the right size and keep a good sharp edge. I decided to do the skinning. There wa...

Barbara Shelton: Upholstery
http://barbarashelton.blogspot.com/2011/09/upholstery.html
Sunday, September 25, 2011. I have been meaning to post something for a while just to save the blog from death but haven't been doing much in the way of woodworking. Thought this may be worthy of posting. Earlier in the year we took an upholstery course from a local upholsterer who is in the very early stages of setting up a school. There is more to it than I would have thought. Like wood, you have to be aware of the grain direction of the fabric and the matching of color, patterns and types. I think Ill...

Friday, January 20, 2012. Except for being trapped behind a computer all day to generate the funds to be able to set up shop. Amazing how draining a desk job can be. There are issues letting go of off-cuts, even other people's. We were the benefactors of a friend's recent move to the opposite coast. A pile of local maple. More adopted wood and future kiln site. After so much time going by, rough milling some wood to make sawhorses was super exciting, and the more time I spend here the more my hands start...

Barbara Shelton: A Little Something
http://barbarashelton.blogspot.com/2012/06/little-something.html
Sunday, June 17, 2012. Finished the sister plane from a tulipwood blank I had at IP. I build the first little one for softening edges and other small tasks. This one is a gift for my sister who just accepted her first teaching position as a high school shop teacher. June 17, 2012 at 10:02 AM. Nice work, Barb. The perfect gift. ― Craig.

Friday, March 30, 2012. Thursday, March 15, 2012. I've got a new project on the go while i wait on the upholstery for the ottoman. This one is different for me in a few ways. first, it's being made for claire and i specifically. second, i'm using some commercial veneer. We've long needed a place to file our papers, so i'm combining this with a record cabinet. It's been fun working with commercial veneer. just fun to learn some new techniques.

Fine Works in Wood. Sunday, November 1, 2009. Hallowe'en and Cliff Gilker Park. Hallowe'en brought a visit from a cute little lady bug! And a monkey too! Steve looks like he was amused.even if they weren't! Today we went for a walk in CLiff Gilker park, just across the highway. Our neighbour showed us the beautiful trails that wind through the trees and cross over numerous creeks and rivers. The drawer, dryfit, awaiting glue, a bottom and then on to being fit in the cabinet. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

Fine Works in Wood. Sunday, January 31, 2010. We have now all returned from the good ol' US of A and what a trip it was! Don, Meredith, Robert, Steve N. and Roberta during a Masur Birch log and Pear plank search. Jason and Byron atop a pile of Pear planks that were 3 inches thick and in the $1000 a plank range, which as you can tell, was shocking to Byron. Surf's up for Evan as he scopes out a big pile of? This was the smaller half of the Claro Walnut log we looked at. Wednesday, January 27, 2010. So whe...

Fine Works in Wood. Monday, May 23, 2011. From Joinery to the Creek: The Lost Tale of a Family of Chairs. All the parts needed for six arm chairs. Nice fitting tenon. I went as close as possible off of the machine this time. I figured better to spend an extra half hour nailing the tenon stock than to spend hours and hours sanding tenons. Tenon stock, before and after round-over bit. Mortises for twin tenons. A pile of joined walnut pieces. Still just rough pieces so no need to care for them yet. One of m...
