• This Just Looks Wrong

    Updated: 2011-06-30 20:45:45
    This post has little to do with woodworking – but it will upset the safety police (not to mention the fashion police, though I doubt they're reading). And, it just looks funny. After hitting snooze on my alarm a few too many times this morning, I was running quite late for work and didn't have [...]

  • Weekend Fun, Woodworking Style

    Updated: 2011-06-30 03:06:42
    I'm writing this from home, and most of my pictures from past Woodworking in America conferences are on my computer at work* – though I managed to dig up the one above of Ron Herman (l) and Mike Siemsen (r) going head to head in the Hand Tool Olympics. I think we should have a [...]

  • Inside the Judges' Chambers

    Updated: 2011-06-28 01:57:25
    I spent last Thursday and Friday with two other judges staring at photographs and deciding if this was better than that. We were in a conference room at VeneerTech, deciding the winners in this year's Craftsman's Challenge contest. The winners will be announced in July at the AWFS fair in Las Vegas.

    Updated: 2011-06-24 18:44:56
    Yesterday, I was finishing up the milling of my workbench legs. The stock was originally 8"in diameter by 8' long. I had salvaged four posts from an old mill in New Bedford, Mass. Two of the posts are now residents in my old house, and I was saving the remaining two for a special project. [...]

  • Helical Cutterhead Makes Better Tenons

    Updated: 2011-06-23 21:06:44
    I’ve told this story to many woodworkers, but I have yet to post it in a blog. One day before Dad passed, he called me to complain that he was having to fit every tenon to it's mortise by hand. (Many woodworkers choose to work that way, but to us it was a detriment in [...]

    Updated: 2011-06-23 01:31:34
    Sometimes a piece of paper or computer won't do when it comes to fleshing out a design idea. I was revisiting a design sketch from years ago and I was having a tough time getting all the pieces drawn properly. Then I remembered a block of wood that I had in the shop. It is [...]

  • Red Amber

    Updated: 2011-06-07 01:26:32
    Red amber sounds like a contradiction as both red and amber are both colors, but in this case it is one in the same. According to Merck’s Index [1930 edition] amber naturally occurs: yellowish, reddish or brownish. Red amber is a fairly rare form of amber, but red fossil copal also exists. I am in a [...]
