Let’s see ..

Mallets are easy.

A plane setting hammer, with brass and leather faces ..

Marking tools!

An infilled and dovetailed dovetail saddle (1:7 ratio – my favourite) ..

I received many requests to make these for others, so I looked for a less complex design. I came up with this, a brass saddle (1:5, 1:6, 1:7, 1:8). They were actually more work to file accurately ..

Did I say marking knife or marking knives? :)

My favourite user, in Olve and Jarrah ..

Fibonacci gauge, in Tasmanian Blackwood with handmade brass rivets..

Cutting gauge …

A fishtail chisel (for cleaning out corners of half-blind dovetails), in Tasmanian Blackwood ..

This was an entry in the Wood Central 2008 Tool Comp. Nah, didn’t win (but did get an honourable mention) – a brace and driver set in Jarrah and brass, in a She-oak toolbox-with-drawer ..

wow…now that is art!

On the infilled and dovetailed dovetail saddle, how are the pins secured, epoxy? Did you make them from tube brass stock or buy pins? (meaning also: Are they straight, tapered, etc)

WOW WHAT A COOLECTION of fine woodworking tools. My hats off to you. I have saved your website for future use. Keep up the fine posts and the beautiful work.

beautiful work! Most of my self made tools are just very…utilitarian (rough, and less than beautiful). Thanks for sharing!

-- POST NUBILA SOL - After clouds sunshine

My tool-making is limited to using a stick to fish ants out of a hole. Your tool-making is something glorious. I perked up when I saw the topic entry and who posted it, and this post is waaay beyond expectations. I have a pile of OME irons left over after upgrading to Hock. This post starts fires in the imagination. Thanks so much for posting.
