    on a separate note…..I have just signed up to this site….the reason I ended up here is because of your adaptation of the Shopsmith 510 by adding a router table!! I have been searching everywhere for ideas on how to do this…I cannot email you thru this sight as I have to have 5 posts…I am wondering how to establish contact etc….I am very interested in what you have done regarding the router table insert and its ability to use the fence system etc of the ss 510….hoping to hear from you..cheers

    Hello Shipwright!

    I have enjoyed and appreciated your blogs on building a Chevalet. I am new at this and I would like to build my own Chevalet. I have a few questions if you would be so kind. I greatly appreciate you as a resource and I see that everyone else appreciates you too!

    1. I have found your design in Sketch Up. What are you using for the two bushings that the round rode goes through. Are they an automotive part?

    2. What can I use for the fixtures that holds the blade. I believe ASFM lists them as ASFM-1120. But, they don't seem to list the part separately.

    3. Do you see any reason why a sturdy drawer slide couldn't be used in place of the rod assembly?

    Thank you so much for your time and input for this Newbie:)

    Kindest regards,

    Retro

    I want to tell you that OOPS and your cabinet on the tree I already best.
    I will soon write a review of my "Temple of the skies" and other similar activities. I also call her "Floating Cabinet". Rejoice on it, but there are only thumbnails. My old shop was so small.

    I am glad to have found LJ. As a result, I got to know you.

    Hi Paul,
    I looked around a bit on your homepage.
    I'm excited. You're right, we do almost the same work. But using different methods. I have to spend more time to look at your work. You work even cleaner than I do. You process your veneers with a saw and I cut all the pieces with a scalpel.

    I now have a large workshop and can build larger furniture. I am happy to show it to you and the others. I will document the emergence in the blog.

    Tell me please, what does the button on each side watch or no watch in green or red. What color is it must have.

    Very impressive work sir, the mallet is awesom, the shape of the head is comparable to one i made for chopping mortises out of maple and bloodwood, i put a little more effort then nessasary into it and caught alot of razzing for it, still doesnt stop everyone who sees it from saying whoa! And grabbing ahold of it lol

    Paul,

    I just came across some of your posts. Your shipbuilding skills are impressive. I admire your work.

    My Dad grew up on the shore of Lake Michigan. When he was in HS, (1936), He built a row boat in shop class. He was always proud of making that instead of a cutting board or hat rack. He made it out of white oak and told me he beveled the joints and packed them with tarred rope to seal it. He said it would leak the first day in the water each spring but would then swell up and become watertight. My Dad and his buddy Frank, (who were friends and business partners their whole lives), would use the boat to seine minnows and sell bait along the pier in Racine. Back when a buck or two made a big difference.

    I always am impressed with woodworking for practical purposes. In your career you not only made functional items your made them look beautiful. Thanks for posting the pics.

    BJ

    Hi Paul,

    My apologies for taking so long to respond to your post! I am currently working on a 35' ketch named 'Wingarra' at Canoe Cove. If you are in the neighbourhood feel free to swing by.

    Cheers, Thomas

    Have you heard of Ruark boatworks in Ocean City M.D. ? You would be right at home in that place. They take wooden boats, and restore them. It is all made up of volunteers. To take the 25 cent tour go to You Tube, type in sipos66 and look for my video on Ruark boat works. I think you will like it.

    Your boat reminds me of some of the Australian river houseboats. small and very cool. Yours is among the cutest of the little ferry boats that I've seen. nice work. There is a guy named Jay(I think) Benford up in your area. Boat designer. His designs are similar. He makes big boats with the same sort of lines. traveled around the S.F. bay area for awhile on one and it was outstandingly fun.

    Hi Paul:

    Many thank for your glowing praise on the Sealover's Wine Box … not to mention the tutorial on helping find my way around Lumberjocks. I think I'm getting the hang of it!!

    All your work is totally outstanding, and I look forward to seeing your latest beauty on the outside of a little brown box, eh?!

    Keep in touch … Elaine from Duncan.

    Hello Shipwright,

    I am so pleased to find you and your work on the Chevalet. I was also quite encouraged to see that you made all the metal parts and did it for a very reasonable price.

    I am actually trying to build a Chevalet with plans from Pierre Ramond's book. The hardware is one of the big issues though. I too have visited Pat Edward's shop! Awesome is all I can say about that!

    I was going to send you a message but I can't do that until I have 5 posts (i just signed on to this site) but I really would like to talk to you more about this thing and the building of it. I have a few of the parts made in hard maple and I need to start looking into making the hardware etc. I really would like to pick your brain! I downloaded your SU drawing, very nice indeed! Well I hope we can meet at least electronically and discuss the making of this fine tool, the Chevalet de Marquetier!
