Saw restoration my life and times. Skip to primary content. Skip to secondary content. The best screw wins. March 24, 2014. Once again I’ll start by saying sorry for the long holiday in the blog. The job searching is slow going and working full time in the shop doesn’t leave as much time at the end of the day for collecting my thoughts. On the upside, I’ve enjoyed some projects like adding cruise control and a spline lube to my K75 motorcycle. Or the Directory of American Tool and Machinery Patents. ...

Plane Shavings: December 2013
http://planeshavings.blogspot.com/2013_12_01_archive.html
Wednesday, December 4, 2013. I made this sign and sign post for the shop about a month ago but never got around to posting pictures. Does this mean that I'm going into business? Absolutely not. I don't even have the energy to do what's on my wife's list much less try to do things for actual customers. This is just another piece in my quest to immerse myself in my own little 18th century fantasy world. The fact that I listed turner on there is a bit of a stretch for now, but I'm getting there.

Plane Shavings: September 2013
http://planeshavings.blogspot.com/2013_09_01_archive.html
Monday, September 30, 2013. Finally, Something Useful Off the Spring Pole Lathe. I've been slowly trying to gather a collection of tools for windsor chair making over the last year or so. This past Father's Day my wife got me the large Lie-Nielsen/Drew Langsner froe. I'm sure it's going to be a great tool, but without something solid and wooden to whack it with it's kind of useless. Time to make a froe club. Ready for a log. The tools. Ashley Iles carbon steel turning tools from TFWW. Sterling Tool Works...

Plane Shavings: My Long, Strange Journey to a Windsor Chair Class
http://planeshavings.blogspot.com/2014/08/my-long-strange-journey-to-windsor.html
Sunday, August 10, 2014. My Long, Strange Journey to a Windsor Chair Class. Building a Windsor chair had been on my list of things I've wanted to do for many years. I've always loved the form from the first time I ever saw a sack back Windsor and have since come to develop an affinity for many other styles; the comb back and the continuous arm, as well as the less conventional, like the writing arm chair and the Windsor fan chair. Day one. Shaving spindles on the shave horse with the spoke shave, in.

BearKat Wood: November 2015
http://bearkatwood.blogspot.com/2015_11_01_archive.html
Wednesday, November 25, 2015. After years of woodworking I am remodeling my shop to have a nice space for me to work and to be more picture friendly. I have been working in dark caves for years and I am looking forward to having a beautiful space for me to create new designs. I have designed a very ambitious set of cabinets and a bench for the new space, if it turns out like I am hoping it will be very amazing. It will all be built from maple and black walnut.

BearKat Wood: October 2015
http://bearkatwood.blogspot.com/2015_10_01_archive.html
Monday, October 26, 2015. Don't get all bent out of shape! Sometimes in woodworking you need a shape that just won't work because of short grain issues, stock availability, design concerns etc. It comes to a choice of steam bending or bent lamination. When choosing bent lamination there are some concerns to consider. Y=Distance the arc will change. X=Height of arc from base. N=The number of layers of material. 2 which will yield Y=.1875 or 3/16" difference. The next thing to consider is the thickness of ...
