what i've been doing #26: nautilus cam bench clamp
I have seen cam clamps for benches of all shapes and patterns. I thought of the nautilus shell because of the golden ratio. Most cam clamps use a progressing curve. The shell is an easy to find curve on the internet. I have made 6. If they are use...

Welcome to Lumberjocks. The projects are an inspiration, the information is priceless and the people are supportive. The only problem is, the site can get addictive.
God Bless

Hi there,
Welcome to LumberJocks… I joined the site myself almost a year ago and will give you fair warning, this site is VERY ADDICTIVE, VERY EDUCATIONAL, and VERY FUN…. so sit back, enjoy the ride and learn from the other LJ’s as they are a group of extremely talented people that are also very friendly…
Enjoy your time here on LJ and pass the word to any of your woodworking buddies about us…

Hi Dave, and thanks for your nice comment on my box. In fact, I haven’t been online so much lately so i have missed a lot of projects. Nowadays I see a lot of great projects that I don’t comment on because there are just so many of them.
I liked your projects, which I’ve now seen. they reflect good craftsmanship and they all looked unique to me. The one that stands out in my mind is the picture frame with the sailor. I really love that frame, and I don’t usually get all that excited about picture frames.
I don’t really know the first thing about design, so I just let my heart decide. In spite of that, I, like others, place more value on original work, and so I am always hoping to do something a little different. Of course, this is a hit and miss process. Design is not necessarily proportional to the work put into a project.

Hi Dave. Many thanks for the compliment on my yarn swift. I guess good minds work in similar ways. My approach to building a lot of the projects I have done is the same as yours. Indeed, sometimes they do go off into directions that were not planned. It is my belief that this aides in the working with what you have. In my case, I mill and dry my own lumber so come up with some truly unique stock sometimes. That is what make hand craftsmanship unique.
