WAL Specialty Woodworking: December 2010
http://walwoodwork.blogspot.com/2010_12_01_archive.html
Tuesday, December 21, 2010. This is photo of a Fibonacci gauge. The gauge helps the carpenter recreate the Golden Ratio which means things will have proportions that are pleasing to the eye. It is important that the ratio of length to width is correct or even a well made project will not be viewed as satisfactory. It is sort of interesting that a very old tool is resting atop a very new tool. I like wooden things but.often use the laptop. (like right now). Cat Cutting Board, Cat Shaped that is,. The butt...

WAL Specialty Woodworking: Best Knife for the Money.
http://walwoodwork.blogspot.com/2015/04/best-knife-for-money.html
Friday, April 3, 2015. Best Knife for the Money. Mora Sweden is the home of Moraknif. Moraknif makes the famous Frost Knife, the traditional sloyd. Knife from Scandinavia. It is worth watching Roy Underhill's video, Who wrote the Book Of Sloyd. I have several Mora knives. In fact I have a couple of 'Frost' knives from before the two companies were amalgamated. The Basic 511 is razor sharp when you buy it and.it cost $7.50 Cdn. Yes it comes with a terrible snap-in plastic sheath but so-what! Now I am not ...

WAL Specialty Woodworking: May 2010
http://walwoodwork.blogspot.com/2010_05_01_archive.html
Tuesday, May 25, 2010. Marble Tree and Marvelous Kieran. This is my Sweet Wife, Wonderful Step Daughter and Super Cool Grandson. Kieran learned to put the balls on the Marble Tree very quickly and was quite taken with the sounds it made. These toys are for sale at Textures in Hamilton and Elephant Thoughts in Collingwood. If you are a Mason you should recognize the level and plumb rule. The tools at my Lodge needed to be replaced and so I made there. The plumb rule is walnut and the level walnut at Poplar.

WAL Specialty Woodworking: Bora Combination Square
http://walwoodwork.blogspot.com/2014/08/bora-combination-square.html
Wednesday, August 20, 2014. I have not used a combination square on a regular basis for years. The first combination square I bought was cheap and inaccurate and so it never found a spot in working method of work. In fact I threw it out years ago. Bora 12 inch Magnetic Combination Square. A couple of weeks ago I bought a Bora Magnetic Combination Square. On a clearance sale. I know Bora to make good tools so I gave it a try I love it. Check out the video: Magnetic square.

WAL Specialty Woodworking: November 2010
http://walwoodwork.blogspot.com/2010_11_01_archive.html
Thursday, November 25, 2010. These are some of the things I've done lately to stock up at Textures. The last while has seen shop time interrupted by holiday time. Sweden was a very cool place to visit. Berlin was sort of scary but very interesting. Iceland, why does anyone live there? Nicest is to be home. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). View my complete profile.

WAL Specialty Woodworking: January 2010
http://walwoodwork.blogspot.com/2010_01_01_archive.html
Saturday, January 30, 2010. For the last week I have been feeling sort of down in the dumps. My nose is plugged and my eyes are watering and sneezes sneak up on me without warning. So, to fight back I have been taking sinus pills and cough syrup. I suspect that there will be a Saw Stop in my future. Saturday, January 23, 2010. Poplar, Aspen. Cottonwood etc. Another bonus to poplar is that it is not a commonly used wood in many applications and so very reasonable to buy. It is also available in wide b...

Tuesday, June 22, 2010. This is a Band Saw box made from recovered lumber. The body is black water based stain and the drawer fronts are shellac. Wood Working For Mere Mortals gets some of the credit for my finally getting off my butt and making this. Thanks Steve. This is also my first attempt at Flocking. It requires a long drying time, really. I will let it have longer drying time next time. Monday, June 7, 2010. More Boxes, but these have a use! The top is held on with rare earth magnets, and the mag...

http://walwoodwork.blogspot.com/2011_01_01_archive.html
Monday, January 31, 2011. Last fall my wife and I were in Sweden. Sweden's capital Stockholm is very beautiful and set on a dozen or so islands. There are hundred's of boats of all types docked around those islands and within easy strolling distance of down town. We saw these boats being built. It wood is nasty looking softwood and the fit kind of rough. I was told that the wood swells and the bottoms and cracks are filled with tar and paint and the boat is put to work. Wednesday, January 26, 2011. We ha...
