• Round n Round

  
  Chair Notes — Authority: 114
  Heres a bit of an unsung hero in my shop, the tapered tenon rounder. Usually, I try to make all of my tapers on the lathe, where they are done quickly and accurately. But on occasion, especially if the piece is already bent before shaping the tenon, I pull out my rounder. Elia Bizzarri sells a version of this ...

• Steady as She Goes

  
  Chair Notes — Authority: 114
  In making choices about the tools and processes that I use, I try to reconcile whether I am going to continue learning and enjoying working that way and if my skills and chairs will keep developing. For instance, using the skew for the finish of my turnings, as opposed to sandpaper, took quite a while to conquer, but ...

We decided to give the chickens run of the garden, after taking the last mint out for some ice cream. These are the girls that we ...

• The Case for Long Grain Shooting Boards

  
  Evenfall Woodworks — Authority: 91
  Shooting boards are very handy for fine trims that clean the rough sawn edges left by saws, power tools and shop machines, so the wood is looking it’s very best, and even made as accurate fitting as can be.
