Edit : ups I can remember you already have covered that too …LOL

Mads, whenever I see a photo on here with little piles of stuff, (excluding the famous pipe) I know it is a post by Mads, the mad tool maker. :) As with men and Playboy (I guess), I never read (nor comprehend) the articles, but I do enjoy looking at the pictures. :)

Mad, careful with that pipe, you might burn yourself. Did you put a magnet in the sleeve to hold the knife in place?

Thanks Rivergirl, us men and Playboy, huh??

be good. Pabull

Mads. Good idea. I need to make something like that for my marking knife. I am curious about one of the tools yo have pictured there in the first picture. That is a pretty cool little stop on the ruler on your bench. Is that something you made also?

Dennis, yes leather could be fine also, I just like to try new ways.
Rivergirl, I have no time to answer, I’m reading…
PaBull, no magnet, just tight fit.

Mads- LOLOLOL… Are you reading the woodworker’s magazine or THE BIG BUTT BOOK! Rhetorical question- definately a rhetorical question…....... ;)

Now you are beeing really naughty! I only read Woodworker magazine alone at night, when every one are at sleep? LOL.

I know that Mads. I know that. :) I am awake at 3 AM due to cold and flu. I am finishing up reading Tolstoy’s “War and Peace.” Only about ten pages to go. (No pictures but a fantastic Novel.)

Hi Mads, The handle was great, but I don’t see any Japanese marking knives for sale here. I did like your ruler stop idea. Perfect for someone with old eyes like myself.

Once again a nice little jig from mr jig :)

Its funny cause when i look at the marking knives alone,and after that with wooden-protection its more….hmm cant find the word but its like its more right and finish. I like my tools even more every time im make some improvements for it.

Bla bla bla but i hope you all know what i mean :)

As always, I am last in the row! Some nice tools there, brother in Denmark. Off course it is not so easy for a Bushman to get hold of such tools. I made a similar marking knife from an old HSS jointer knife. Works a treat. So mine is not Japanese but African!

How do you smoke that pipe….?

hey mafe

Did you cut that kerf by pushing that block through the tablesaw just like in the picture?

Ian, no! I used a hold, and a push stick, since I was scared for my fingers.
Div, It’s a poceket pipe, so it turns 180 when smoked, but it could be pratical on windy days to lock it like this on your underlip… ;-):o I have no daubt you could make one, you never stop to impress me, guess I have to work on those dovetail chisels, just in the hope to make you impressed once – naaa I give up!
Napoleon, yes they get some personality.
Mike, did you make a ruler stop?
Chip, merci.
Rivergirl, I have not read that one yet, guess it could be a next on the list. Just finished 1793 by Victor Hugo, also a wonderful book, but not the best of his books. Also just finished a book called the book of virtues, belive it or not! Hope you are better with the flu.
Smiles to all of you,
Mads

No Mads, but for reasons beyond my control and to my great consternation, I just don’t seem able to get into the shop, not even for half a day. When I do get out there my first job will be to sweep the floor, which is to finish getting the shop tidy again after just leaving everything a couple of months ago. I’m not mad about it, just frustrated, but I do find myself growing restless and irritable, a sign that I am in need of some shop time therapy. I’m also feeling the time pressure to get the Christmas gifts ready.
