Hi Everyone! Well here is my first attempt at a blog. To wood burn a portrait I start out with a photo of the person. I scan it to my computer and then I print out the size of the portrait, Megan was done as an 8” x 10” size. Next I find the piece of wood I want to put it on and do several sandings starting with 400 grit sandpaper and end up with 600 grit sandpaper. Always sand with the grain of the wood. Then I “buff” the wood using a brown paper bag and mo...
I have had mine around 8 months now and it has changed my life in the shop, i no longer have to buy dressed timber at rediculous prices, the blades were dulling after some heavy work with Oak boards so i changed them out, pretty straight forward and i checked the cuts and all seems to be fine. Snipe is a big subject and although i do get some and sometimes pretty bad its all down to how much of a bite you take. I have found if i go easy on the cut it vitually goes away i reduce the cut to j...
Last week at our local auction I found something that I just couldent pass up. Saws, saws and more saws!I found one disston #16, three Disston D-95, one Atkins, one Richardson Brothers #7 and several other Disstons that I dont have numbers for yet. I also got a old stanley miter box and the Disston saw that came with it. The total cost to me was 10$some of the DisstonsThe D-95sback sawRichardson Brothers #7StanleyThere are more saws than I have shown and when I get them cleaned up I may show...
I found this “formation” on some Southern Red Oak that I am using to build the conference table for a church. Anybody seen one of these? This was found on the part of the wood that looks like it was once an outside part of the tree and either the tree grew around it or it was deep in the crotch. The side of it didn’t give any clues to what was inside and only when the bark fell off did it revel itself. Here is a photo of the complete board… Here is a zoomed up...
Wood Mentation of Today ....what is this prise that burns within my being,to find the almost of what a-waits-a-round the next bend,by now i should have learned why the sweetness of your voice calls,as within the depths of where i have often run to hide from your face…. ....i once remember standing in the shadow of a tree greater than i,while the limbs of your covering shared with my-self a notion of leaves,fire colored leaves you gave to me to light the candle that had gone ou...
It’s about time I attack this project with a vengeance, if for no other reason that it will be good to have the commission money to travel to Berea on (Neener!) The most challenging part of a very challenging project has been finding mesquite in quantity and size to work for me. Each leg is 4-1/2” on the square, a modified cabriole leg. I finally scored the lumber about 4 weeks ago, about an hour away. Heck, in Texas, that’s neighbors. Here is the stack: I didn&#...
I finally got all the fronts put together. The drawer fronts have wider side styles to match the styles and rails on the door. All of the have raised panels except fot the one small drawer front at the top of the tower. Its to small for a raised panel so I just made it a flat panel. The panels have a bead running around them to, to go along with the beaded openings. Here’s a close up of the frame and panel. Here’s a couple full view pictures of the project. Al...
Building on the previous post in this series, it’s time to explore Graham Blackburn’s second pillar of design: Construction. When one thinks of construction in woodworking, the first thought is inevitably joinery. While joinery is definitely one element of the construction of a piece of furniture, as you might expect, there’s more to the equation. Take a look at this post for a discussion of construction as it relates to design, according the Blackburn. Thanks for reading.
