Tool Making #1: August 2011 has a couple of tool making related articles

I like Fine woodworking, it has some pretty good plans, although I usually never follow them. It gives great ideas though. I tend to make the tools and jigs as I need them, rather than just making them. I’ve made a gun cleaning station and a stock vise for checkering. I came across a jig yesterday in may reloading bench that I made, but can’t remember what it did. (they say the mind is the first to go). Later on I’ll need to pull it out and really look closer.

I’m off to finish my board jack. I think its more interesting to see the tools and jigs others make than the “real” projects. Thanks for starting this wayne!

I think that vid was shown here first then FW picked it up but that guy in the vid is a member here “davemoorefurniture” . He also has another vid where he thicknesses and flattens a piece of stock with nothing but hand planes another great vid.

Very nice I love the old school methods. Another method to learn for further growth in woodworking.
