Boat building #1: In need of spiritual applicant with free plans

63 days ago by threehands | 2 comments »

Hello all. I am in need. A need to fill the void. The void is an empty spot. The empty spot in an area of the shop I haven’t seen in years. There actually is a floor under all that “junk” as the bride would say. (I say golden treasures.) But, what I need now is spiritual help and a set of free plans for a drift boat or dory. I know I can build one, just need the plans. Have looked and downloaded several but cant find ones concerning a Montana style. Those guys craft some s...

this is a jig i made years ago, it devides any angle for miters .the circles have mesh teeth that rotate both sides together .i originaly used sand paper , but it wore out quick , and the circles slide singularly .i found some rubber “v” grooved mat , and glued it to the sides of the circles so they mesh , ( it’s not the best , but it works for now )i had to re-cut parts for this new improvement , as there wasn’t room for the mat . it is registered to the table with d...

CENTAUR counter, mostrador CENTAURO #6: When it was finished, the client decided to introduce a change: to divide the desk.

76 days ago by Alejandro Galo Moreno | 2 comments »

The client decided to make a change: he need an access to the desk’s inside, when her products are exposed on the counter. After thinking about the possible solutions and having to keep the structural solidity, I decided that easiest alternative was to cut the desk board. One of the questions was how to make the holes for the axes in such a small space. I found only one solution: to tear off the central piece for drilling, so that after glueing, the piece could looked like before manipu...

Never know with internet nowdays. They have all kinds of metals, sizes, shipping options, etc… Again, THANKS for the...
