TUMBLEWOOD CREATIONS: December 2012
http://tumblewood.blogspot.com/2012_12_01_archive.html
Sunday, December 30, 2012. My Favorite Plane by Scott Meek Woodworks. I've used Lie Nielsen planes at Woodworking in America and, while they are very sweet, I am much more impressed with the innovative approach that Lee Valley/Veritas take toward making planes. They really just make them better than the old vintage planes. Lie Nielsen are the cream of the crop for making beefed up replicas of the old planes, but they don't innovate, at least as far as I've seen. What makes a Scott Meek Woodworks. Green f...

TUMBLEWOOD CREATIONS: July 2012
http://tumblewood.blogspot.com/2012_07_01_archive.html
Thursday, July 19, 2012. Icarus Landed on His Feet. A little update on the piece that was started as part of the bending class I took at The Port Townsend School of Woodworking. I got home and found this in my email and thought I would share with all of you. I wish I could get over to Bainbridge Island for the show! I hope you are all having a great summer!

TUMBLEWOOD CREATIONS: A Quick and Easy Upgrade to The Sharpening Center
http://tumblewood.blogspot.com/2013/01/a-quick-and-easy-upgrade-to-sharpening.html
Sunday, January 6, 2013. A Quick and Easy Upgrade to The Sharpening Center. The upgrade is extremely easy. I took a piece of good quality plywood and glued two pieces from an old belt onto the surface. In this case I used Power Grab by Loctite,. Which is a favorite "construction" adhesive of mine. I like it because it cleans up with warm soapy water and doesn't have the horrible off gassing that many other construction adhesive create. I tried it and it works pretty well.

Feel free to ask any questions you may have on set-up, etc. Dave from Oz said. Hi Vic. Thanks for the tour. Looks like your shop continues to evolve. So much fun! June 10, 2012 at 7:44 PM.

TUMBLEWOOD CREATIONS: Art Deco and Bent
http://tumblewood.blogspot.com/2012/12/art-deco-and-bent.html
Thursday, December 13, 2012. Art Deco and Bent. Here is an example of a set. My tablesaw sled and the Grrripper push block were invaluable in cutting the little parts. The faces are rabbited at angles to accept the end pieces. Figuring out the compound angles was a challenge. I don't have a trig calculator anymore. I managed to find this site. For a behind-the-scenes math solution. Although I can't say I'm a fan completely of every genre, I do like more elements of specific genres, Art Deco being one.

TUMBLEWOOD CREATIONS: June 2011
http://tumblewood.blogspot.com/2011_06_01_archive.html
Tuesday, June 21, 2011. A Slight Re-design to Pay Due Respect. He's accessible and his podcasts are the best on the internet and, in my opinion, the best woodworking shows period on or off the internet. I've been a member of The WoodWhisperer Guild. Offerings: The WoodTalk Online. Site for a really great talk radio webcast featuring Marc, Matt Vanderlist of Matt's Basement Workshop. The Podfather of Woodworking and Shannon Rogers - The Renaissance Woodworker. Sunday, June 19, 2011. SPRING IS FINALLY HERE!

TUMBLEWOOD CREATIONS: January 2013
http://tumblewood.blogspot.com/2013_01_01_archive.html
Saturday, January 12, 2013. Entertainment Console - Design Phase. Sometime last year, Sylvia and I were having dinner at my friend Ken's place. He'd recently got a copy of The House That Sam Built. Sam is one of my favorite designers. I love his simple, elegant and organic sense of design. This hall table was the piece that most captured my eye. Based on the single point perspective and the actual measurement of the wall and all the components of the entertainment center, I produced this first drawing.

TUMBLEWOOD CREATIONS: November 2011
http://tumblewood.blogspot.com/2011_11_01_archive.html
Tuesday, November 15, 2011. Cleaning Timbers and an Early Christmas! I know, it's way too early for talk of Christmas, but people are gearing up and I'm especially filled with holiday cheer. Santa Claus must think I'm a very good boy, because he's recently sent me two very excellent Christmas gifts. I've received my Bad Axe saws from Mark Harrell. Meet Doc, Wyatt and The BeastMaster! And today, my Benchcrafted hardware for my. These are the tools I used for the surgical removal of all the errant nails...
