The land of the Kavango | Je ne sais quoi Woodworking

http://www.jenesaisquoiwoodworking.com/the-land-of-the-kavango

Je ne sais quoi Woodworking. Perambulations around my neck of the woods. The land of the Kavango. The reason for our annual safari is the waters of the ancient Okavango River. It originates on the eastern escarpment of the Angolan highlands before bisecting Namibia and Angola. A few kilometers from our camp it switches across the implantation of the Caprivian umbilical cord into Botswana to quench the eternal thirst of the Okavango Delta. OK, let’s go. This is a picture of a modern ossewa. We saw this in...

http://www.jenesaisquoiwoodworking.com/stanley-no-66-beadingtool-rehab

Je ne sais quoi Woodworking. Rehabilitation of old tools. Stanley no. 66 beadingtool rehab. This is a pre-1900 Stanley no. 66 beader that I bought from Patrick Leach. If you consult the appropriate chapter. Of his epic work entitled “Patricks Blood and Gore”. You will find that pre-1900 beaders were japanned and later models were nickel plated. I got it bead-blasted to remove all the old japanning before redoing it with my usual sequence of potions. I wrote extensively about this in previous post. My fav...

… and there was light. | Je ne sais quoi Woodworking

http://www.jenesaisquoiwoodworking.com/and-there-was-light

Je ne sais quoi Woodworking. 8230; and there was light. Since my bench was finished a month or so ago, it has been a struggle to see what I am doing as it is located in a part of the shop which is devoid of light. Recently I bought this basic study lamp and attached it to a short board to improve it’s maneuverability. Here are a few pictures to show how it lightens up my life. Clamping it to the bench enables me to have it hanging over the bench’s edge. Shop made Roubo-esque crosscut bow saw. Enter your ...

Woodworking by Hand: Scrub Plane

http://woodworkingbyhand2.blogspot.com/2015/03/scrub-plane.html

Monday, March 9, 2015. Some years ago I found several 34 mm plane blades as new old stock. Too many large for a jack or smoother plane, perfect for making scrub planes (just I had to round the cutting edge). This is a four pieces plane (two lateral, two central). The woods are beech for the body and wild olive (from Puglia, Italy) for the sole. March 10, 2015 at 3:48 AM. This looks great, is olive wood a common choice for plane soles?
