https://thesawblog.wordpress.com/2011/08/12/dovetails-a-la-underhill
All about hand saws, all the time. Dovetails a la Underhill…. So let’s get to it and you’ll see what I mean…. After I mark the baseline for the thickness of the stock on the tail board, I clamp it up in my Moxon twin screw vise. In my mind, for a 9 and 1/2 inch deep bookshelf case, I see three large dovetails joining each corner of the case. It’s with this layout in mind that I begin…. Now the same thing with the second tail…about two inches wide…. And the other side as well…. I make all of the right sla...

The land of the Kavango | Je ne sais quoi Woodworking
http://www.jenesaisquoiwoodworking.com/the-land-of-the-kavango
Je ne sais quoi Woodworking. Perambulations around my neck of the woods. The land of the Kavango. The reason for our annual safari is the waters of the ancient Okavango River. It originates on the eastern escarpment of the Angolan highlands before bisecting Namibia and Angola. A few kilometers from our camp it switches across the implantation of the Caprivian umbilical cord into Botswana to quench the eternal thirst of the Okavango Delta. OK, let’s go. This is a picture of a modern ossewa. We saw this in...

If you consult the appropriate chapter. Of his epic work entitled “Patricks Blood and Gore”. You will find that pre-1900 beaders were japanned and later models were nickel plated. I got it bead-blasted to remove all the old japanning before redoing it with my usual sequence of potions. I wrote extensively about this in previous post. My fav...

http://www.jenesaisquoiwoodworking.com/and-there-was-light
Je ne sais quoi Woodworking. 8230; and there was light. Since my bench was finished a month or so ago, it has been a struggle to see what I am doing as it is located in a part of the shop which is devoid of light. Recently I bought this basic study lamp and attached it to a short board to improve it’s maneuverability. Here are a few pictures to show how it lightens up my life. Clamping it to the bench enables me to have it hanging over the bench’s edge. Shop made Roubo-esque crosscut bow saw. Enter your ...
