Archived Forums Being Moved to Main Forums (Resolved)
John Morris posted a topic in The Patriot's Pulse
We are currently in the process of moving our Archived Forums to our live Forums as sub-categories of each. The Archived Forums will still be read only, as we slowly and patiently move them to the live forums after much editing and clean up of each topic is performed. I just moved the Woodworking archived forum to the live General Woodworking forum as a sub category. This will, after the moves are complete, save real-estate on our forums page, thus eliminating the entire "Archived Forums" section. -

A little turning this week. I finally got a chance to finish a pen that was started in the spring. It is an older Woodcraft roller ball kit. The wood is Cocobolo and about 10 applications of BLO and CA. I didn't like the shiny finish so I added an application of Johnson's paste wax. This kit is very similar to the fountain pen kit. Which, someone liberated mine. As turners, we really seek the beauty found in spalted wood. The seemingly infinite patterns create turnings that begged to be touched. Well, now, with a little patience, you can make your own spalted wood. Unfortunately, the newsletter containing this information cannot be linked. It is from Popular Woodworking and was written by Alan Lacer, to whom I give full credit. You can sign up for the newsletter on their web site-Â http://www.popularwoodworking.com/. Here is a screenshot of the article. Tim Yoder has another video up. Make a garden "dibble". Looks like it will be a great gift for any gardener!

A little work in the shop. Work nights, so this is MY day time. Almost lunch time! Anyway, have been trying to get a bottom panel made for a full blind dovetailed box. Ran some grooves with a plough plane, that Might even be older than me Fancy set-up, I guess. Just for a few 1/4' by 1/4" grooves. been using a rebate plane along the edges of a piece of pine scrap. I was hoping to make a bottom panel out of it. The wards 78 wasn't too bad doing that, but the panel was way out of square. Ran over, and picked up a couple more items for the bench top. A homemade shooting board, and a Sargent #414c Jack plane. Laid one edge against that Oak stop, and shot the end grain. Rotate towards the freshly shot edge, and shoot another, repeat until all four edges were done. This kind of threw the rebates off a bit, so I had to go back over all of them. I also ran a smoother over the face grain of the panel Just hate it when a board is too smooth, and shiny.The glare is worse than the top of my head. Got things about ready for a test fit Hmmm, GRRRR! Back to the shooter jig. That big, ole knot was causing a problem. Narrowed the board a bit. Try this a second time well, at least there is SOME progress going on. At this rate, I MIGHT, just might be fitting a lid to this box in.....June? Might have a shot of the rebates, somewhere. Man, the glare off that.......board, yeah, off the board. Remind me to start wearing a hat outside....
