My interest in woodworking started when I decided to make birthday and Christmas presents for my wife. Not knowing any better, I set out to build an Inkle Loom and combination beater/shuttle. It turned out great and I've been enjoying woodworking ever since.

I recently had the chance to interview an established woodworker about his life in woodworking. Tim McCready stopped by my other woodworking blog, A Woodworking Odyssey, to comment on using pinch dogs, and somehow that grew into something much mor...

Cleaning is a little like dieting: you get great progress at the beginning and the result is easy to see. I’ve been very consistent about the workshop cleanup over the last three weeks: Tuesday nights are strictly reserved for dealing with t...

I’ll admit that things had become so bad in the shop I couldn’t bear to face it, but two nights into the project and I’m already feeling better. The workbench is cleared and ready for use! Next week I clear the second bench and w...

Welcome to LumberJocks. By reading your woodworking blog, I see that you are already familiar with this site – I know you will enjoy your membership here.
Robert, I’m really exited about the Fibonacci gauge. I haven’t seen that before, although I am familiar with the Golden Mean. Thanks for sharing that. It’s now on my project list.

Thanks for the welcome, Don. I’ve been enjoying your posts and (especially) pictures quite a bit. Can’t wait to see the picture of your new Fibonacci gauge. ;)

Welcome to LJ, Robert! You’re doing great job on your blog.. hope to see some of your projects here soon (and maybe you’ll start blogging here as well ;)
Just curious after reading your profile on blogger – what kind of martial arts are you into? I’m thinking about starting with martial arts once my ankle is okay – I injured it badly almost 3 months ago while playing basketball and am doing physiotherapy these days…

Thanks, Martin. I studied Goju Ryu for a number of years (an excellent traditional martial art from Okinawa). Currently I do something a little bit different: medieval European martial arts (sword and shield primarily). Here’s a picture of me in armor about two years ago.
