This quick video is live from Neil Lamens of Funitology Productions fame. Neil share thoughts from his first seminar with chair maker Brian Boggs and the awesome feeling of making connections with fellow woodworkers. Neil met up with internet woodworking friend Chuck Middleton, a frequent member of The Rough Cut Show Rough Cutters Forum.
What glue was Neil referring to from the chair making session with Brian Boggs? Hide glue of course! Don’t forget to check out Patrick Edwards Ol...

In this part of the series, we’ll look at making and installing the back braces, making the back, and prepping the sides for the big glue-up.
In this guitar, I put in four back braces. These braces were made from 7×15 mm strips of Spanish cedar ripped on a bandsaw. The braces were given a rounded profile on the side facing up when you look through the sound hole.
After cutting the braces to length, the ends of each brace on the rounded side were chiseled flat. This would ...

Most importantly – do NOT buy completely unfinished boards – I estimate that about 80% of the time making this (about 3 weeks beginning to end, but I don’t work hard) was spent simpl...

It’s 1994 or 95. (Or so, I can’t actually remember.) I’m living in Jessamine County, Kentucky, working in the campus library as I finish my master’s degree, when one of my computer-savvy friends mentions a fairly new “listserv” that he has run across, called the “Old Tools Listerv.” Of course, I’ve been a woodworker since I was a kid, so I have to check this out.

A special treat for those of us unable to attend the 2008 Woodworking in America Conference sponsored by Popular Woodworking and Woodworking Magazine.
This quick video is live from Neil Lamens of Funitology Productions fame on the first evening of the conference. During the conference check in Neil ran into Mark Vanderlist from Matt's Basement Workshop. Sounds like a great conference!

My eyes scope the hillside as my feet push my body up the trail. The soles of my feet tired of the treck, my boots wet from the stream crossing one mile back. It’s getting colder the higher I climb. The wind is blowing a little harder, whistling through the trees. My backpack seems to get heavier too, the axe inside wanting out to do it’s job of falling the specific tree I’m after. You see, I noticed the little beauty a year earlier on a hunting trip, a trip in which I ...

Meant to do a first week in review… but I’ve been a little busy with turning and blogging, not enough time for more blogging! – in fact, I think I’ve spent slightly less time in the shop, than in documenting the process.
Week one:
A week or two before I began, I took stock of my pen kits, and noted that I had nearly enough to do a months worth, I did order a few bottle stoppers to make sure I had enough kits to have something for everyday, just in case I didnR...
