3. Early 1900's

   I found this drawknife in a box of tools my Dad got from from where he was raised
   His Dad was a sharecropper Families were large as most of you know 9 children
   I remember Dad getting a box of old stuff out of the shed I was about 5 or 6 at the time
   What a treasure

6. Hultman Leather Tool Accessories

   This gallery is a photo montage of leather sheathes created by Leather and Woodworker Kari Hultman. This gallery is a works in progress, the images will be uploaded, then in time captions and hopefully clarified tutorials or explanations will be added.
   Thank you for your patience as we build this album.

   The following commentary is from our friend Kari Hultman.
    
   For the spokeshave and drawknife sheaths, I made it so the blade didn't "bottom out" in the pocket so the cutting edge does not touch leather. For all the sheaths, except the axe, I used very thin leather, like 1/16".
    
   The axe sheath leather is a little thicker than that, maybe 3/32". I used only veg-tanned leather, but in some cases, I stained the outside. The axe sheath has only neatsfoot oil on it. Veg-tanned leather is very stiff, so in order to bend it, you have to get it wet with water first. Let it dry completely before getting it near your metal tools. I was thinking that the rivets and snaps I used had rusted some of the steel on my tools, but it was a reaction between a snap fastener and a brass knurled knob on my spokeshave. I don't know much about metal and interactions between them, but you might want to let your guys know to look into it.
    
   Also, I included a tool rack and tray in the photos. I thought they might come in handy. Much faster to make than ones make of wood.

8. Big Ash Mallet

   I am on a quest to build some Appalachia style ladder back chairs, or shaker chairs as well, and one of the tools I have been in dire need of is a mallet to strike wood, and chisel with. So after a little bit of research, I came up with my own design, and I had a great time too!
   Thanks for looking at my Big Ash Mallet, and no, the title is not original, it was from a Roy Underhill episode!

    The handplane and torches were my grandpa's just cannot let go of helps bring back memories. The chair was my wifes grandmothers had about 20 coats of paint on it and all the joint were failing. So stripped it down cleaned up all the old glue. Re glued and finishes. My wife loves it and her sister gave a threat of theft.

11. Box for a Stanley 45

    Needed a box to replace the broken old box.   Tried ti duplicate all the details...except the labels.   Poplar 3/8" thick boards, and a bit of plywood.  Hand cut finger joints.   I  think I got pretty close to the original box...
