Push Block/Hand Plane/Saw - Handles

Hey guys. Just fooling around tonight with my new drawing tablet. (FIRST PICTURE) I drew a proportioned handle template for a hand plane (Stanley). It is not to scale though. You can scale it, print it out, and see what size works best for you. I made these templates for people who want to make their own handle for their hand planes; or a handle for a push-block. I have the JPEG file on my computer, so if you don't know how to save the pic (to your computer) from here, message me and I'll send you the JPEG file through email. Also made a few more templates for Push-Blocks. All my designs - Feel free to use as you wish! (but if you make one - post it so i can see how it looks in real life!! haha)

Enjoy….

Its always nice to take advantage of someone else's artistic ability when you have none of your own. Thanks, I'm always making up push blocks in the shop. I like the one of the head, I think that will be one of my favorites. Once again thanks for offering up your artistic ability for some of us less talented.

Doug, I'm a computer illiterate how can I print just one of the designs?

dakremer · Feb 19, 2011

Hey Belg, if you want to PM me your email address I can send you the PDF file of whatever design you'd like!

Also let me know of the rough size you were looking for, and i'll try to size it for you so its ready to print!

Inlays

I wasn't planning on making a series out of my last template blog, but I had a request from a fellow lumberjock to make him an Oval Fan Inlay template. So figured I'd have a whole series of templates.

I will treat this series like folders in a computer - when/if I have more ideas, or more requests for templates, I'll add it to the blog it belongs to. (i.e. I'll put any other push-block-design templates in the 1st blog of the series titled Push Block/Hand Plane/Saw - Handles)

(So of course) Any inlay templates would be added to this blog of the series. I will also create more blogs in the series as needed or requested to fulfill the template type ("folder").

So if you are following the blog, you may want to check back in from time to time to see if any others have been added. From here on out, I will try and draw things to scale (if requested) - i will also keep any file (from google sketchup) I create so if you need the file (to print to scale) I can email it to you.

I think this could be a great resource for woodworkers. Feel free to contact me with any templates you have that I could add to the blog, or just post the picture in the comments section.

If you'd like me to draw you a template just let me know, and I'll see if I'm able to for you…...

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

First inlay is a 2"X3" oval fan inlay. Not sure if everyone is capable of printing to scale so I drew on a scale (each block represents 1 square inch)

Bandsaw Boxes!

Man….I'm having WAY too much fun making templates. I need to get in the shop and actually build something for a change! I dont know what is wrong with me!

The possibilities for bandsaw boxes are ENDLESS. However, here's some to start you guys off with - probably ones you've seen before….but maybe not. I just snagged a few off the internet. These aren't all my designs. I will definitely be adding more later. I already have some crazy ideas in my head. Just don't have time to draw them right now! Enjoy - and make sure to check out the series at later dates - because I'll be continuously adding to these. ENJOY

remember
if they cant find you hansom at least they can find yo handy

Google Sketchup Designs (clamps)

Hey guys. Just fooling around tonight. Found this Clamp here on Lumberjocks. Thought I'd make a Google Sketchup file for it. Anyone need any Google Sketchup Designs just let me know and I'll see if I can help you! (if you want the file for this clamp, just PM me and I'll send it to you through email)

Make sure to check out the other blogs in this series - if there are any templates you can't seem to figure out how to draw (on the computer) ask me, and I'll see if I can do it for you!

jcwalleye · Apr 13, 2011

Cool. Nice job. I like sketchup too, it's so powerful and easy. That's awful nice of you to offer design assistance. I'm sure someone will take you up on it. I'll sure keep it in mind.

Cushioned Bench Plans.....

Hey guys. Here is a little "L" bench I designed for my neighbor. He does not know how to use Google Sketchup so I offered to help him with that, as long as he lets me help him build it!

A pretty generic bench, but I think they look nice, so thought I'd share it with you guys. We plan on using pine and MDF as it will all be painted anyways. The top will be 2 lift off lids (for storage underneath) that will sit inside the frame, recessed. We will make a couple thumb holes for easy lifting out

Joinery will be pocket screws and glue

The "L" is 5' by 5' to fit in a corner of their kitchen by the windows. A table will fit next to it. Enjoy. You can print the pictures out below, or you can PM me and I will send you the Sketchup file! Happy Building!

Mickit · Apr 14, 2011

Simple is good IMO. Have you thought about hinging the bench top for storage of little used stuff/emergency supplies. Space is always a premium, and in my little place, that would be an excellent place for such a stash.
Either way though, I'm sure your neighbor will be tickled with the finished product.
Mick
