Dovetails a la Underhill…. | The Saw Blog
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...

All about hand saws, all the time. Cleaning a saw plate…. If you’re not familiar with Josh Clark of Hyperkitten. Then do yourself a favor and surf on over to his site. Josh is without a doubt the coolest damn antique tool dealer this side of the Mississippi. As it were, this latest package of booty from Josh contained a couple very nice older English saws, and some saw parts…take a look…. A tisket, a tasket, a mid-19th century English sash saw and other sundry goodies.🙂. If you were to conduct a survey ...

Dalbergian Times: January 2009
http://dalbergiantimes.blogspot.com/2009_01_01_archive.html
The things I make. Sunday, 11 January 2009. And so it begins. Hello to anybody who happens across this wee online diary. Chances are if you find yourselves here it's because you know of my work as a designer/maker. Chances are it's my work as a jeweller that brought you here as that is what I spend probably 75 % of my time making,although,as you will find out over the next few months (if i can hold your attention.),I feel inspired to make all manner of things.

Dalbergian Times: Shoulder Plane
http://dalbergiantimes.blogspot.com/2010/03/shoulder-plane.html
The things I make. Monday, 1 March 2010. After much ado here is my Boxwood,Blackwood,Mopane and Lignum Vitae shoulder plane. I intended to make this plane 15mm wide but a moments distraction on the sander resulted in a width of 14.6mm,not a huge deal but enough to unleash some spectacularly colourful language and a small but steady stream of self flagellation. However,I saw her sitting on the shelf this morning and thought,. Hey,let's see if I can get her to make shavings.". I've called her Bethsheby aft...

Dalbergian Times: Mahogany Mushroom
http://dalbergiantimes.blogspot.com/2010/01/mahogany-mushroom.html
The things I make. Saturday, 16 January 2010. In the first video I will show how I prepare a piece of square section Mahogany to be turned into a mushroom. The sanding disc has 80 grit paper PVA glued to a Birch ply faceplate. The turning tool is a 2.5mm square graver that is sharpened like a parting tool on one end and like a round scraper on the other.It has a friction fit into the mahogany handle and is easilly swapped end to end when required. The second video is of me turning the actual mushroom.

Dalbergian Times: Scots Are Frugal,Not Mean
http://dalbergiantimes.blogspot.com/2010/03/scots-are-frugalnot-mean.html
The things I make. Friday, 12 March 2010. Scots Are Frugal,Not Mean. At first glance this might seem like just another ordinary bench grinder.Well,that is exactly what it is.In fact,this particular grinder is considerably simpler in structure than the machine I pulled out of the box. It was reading the latest blog entry of Nick Carter http:/ mechanicalphilosopher.blogspot.com/. 5 years or so ago whilst enjoying an excursion to http:/ www.billstoolstore.co.uk/. I discovered packs of 10 of the same materia...
