Winding sticks
StaticLV2 posted a topic in Hand Tools,
Today’s entry into this category is winding sticks.
Made a set for me and a set for my father in law out in Ohio (because the bench took too long to build and I couldn’t get to his mallets in time)
These are beech because I seem to have quite a bit of that left over, and it is nice to work with.
Dimensioning, milling, and everything but sanding was done with hand tools on the new bench and I am pretty happy with the results.
The half-moon style of these seem to work better for me than the inlay style but I will probably make a set of inlay style ones eventually as well.

New to scroll sawing
Pauley posted a topic in Scroll Sawing,
1. (dont laugh) do the teeth face up or down on the scroll saw? I think it’s down, but not sure.
2. How do I know if I am doing the tension correctly? I got a Wen 21 inch scroll saw and it has a tension knob with numbers from 1 through 5, but the manual doesn’t help me.
3. Finally the correct speed for the tension/wood type..?
Thanks for any help

Lt Cameron Kerr
John Morris posted a gallery image in Patriot Woodworker's in Action,
The Afghan soldier sustained a broken foot, but Kerr was more severely wounded, resulting in amputation of his left foot and lower leg, and severe lacerations and burns to his left arm. Four days later, he was recovering at the U.S. Army's Walter Reed Medical Center near Washington, D.C.
Seen here Lt. Kerr is holding a Patriot Woodworker challenge coin display.

Constructing A Simple Wall Shelf Using the Porter Cable 4210 Dovetail Jig w/Pics
John Morris posted a topic in General Woodworking,
So I thought I'd make a little something for our daughter's violin teacher, she has taken it upon herself to give our daughter lessons pro bono, but we could not have that so I told every now and then I'd get something out of the shop for her. We are starting small at first so I can get an idea of her tastes, once I know what she likes in her home (mountain cabin with cedar walls) then we'll get more extravagant.
