    Updated: 2011-03-31 19:05:36
    I had one of these several years back, not sure what happened to it, however I was in need of a new one.  I asked Master Blacksmith Mark Schramm to make me one.  This one is much fancier than the other one I had.  I have been waiting for the weather to improve [no wind] [...]

  • No More Delta Power Tools?

    Updated: 2011-03-28 20:13:01
    I came across a news release in the current edition of Woodcraft magazine that at first shocked me and then after reflection realized that I really was surprised that it took this long to happen.  Stanley Black & Decker has announced that they have sold the Delta brand of power tools to a Taiwanese company.  [...]

  • Staining with Spices

    Updated: 2011-03-28 17:28:56
    Keeping up my culinary approach to woodworking I have been using some traditional dyes available right in the kitchen.  Kids you can try this at home.  Of course household vinegar and iron filings makes the stain ‘iron buff’.  Tea and coffee can be used to dye woods brown.  These are actually dyes rather than stains [...]

    Here at Woodworker's Journal, a staff birthday (no, it's not Rob -- as he will clearly tell you, his birthday is December 11. That's De-cem-ber el-ev-enth.) has us looking to the past -- 60 years ago, to be precise. What was happening in woodworking back in 1951?

  • Can Your Veneer Work Meet the Challenge?

    Updated: 2011-03-22 11:55:04
    Veneer has been used for centuries to add an artistic touch to furniture and other woodworking projects. The visual effect can be stunning, and there are things you can do with veneer that wouldn’t be possible with solid wood. Intricate patterns, exotic inlays and spectacular grain that matches across an elevation or around an entire [...]

  • Glair

    Updated: 2011-03-21 17:06:57
    Egg white woodwork varnish.  Yes that is what I said egg whites have been made into ‘glair’ for centuries and used as a water-white [clear] high gloss light duty varnish that is waterproof when it is dry.  And this is one method of sealing the sugar seal coat to prevent it from being sticky. Egg whites [...]

  • Sugar Pop the grain.

    Updated: 2011-03-18 18:24:55
    You have heard of ‘popping the grain’ of fancy woods like curly maple, etc.  That is usually done with linseed oil, but here is a water based alternative and is readily available; it is the sugar pop.  This is a piece of curly maple I selected as a sample that will become a tool or [...]

Some folks will need to [...]

  • Tool Making Workshop – Nevada Wood Chucks

    Updated: 2011-03-08 15:20:03
    This weekend, I will be teaching two classes for the Nevada Wood Chucks in Reno; building a copy of Charles Plummier’s 1792 double blade hacksaw and constructing and using a stringing/inlay cutter.  The cutter can also be used as a marking gauge or slitting gauge. A simple double bladed hacksaw [one coarse, one fine blade] with [...]
