    Cutting boards - scroll saw practice

    Happy New Year! Recently my father-in-law was having a barn taken down, and gave me first pick of boards to come down for my lumber stash. The barn stood on the property that he grew up on, and that's been in his family for over 100 years. It was built by his uncle from lumber cut and...

    An aggregation of dovetails - it's a good thing this is practice!

    Hi folks, I am embarking on the building of a mottled makore bench. It is fairly simple, a 14" wide board cut in 3 lengths (for the uprights and seat) with a stretcher below and a wenge sculptural detail between the stretcher and seat. I want to use dovetails at the corners where the boards...

    Source for practice bowl blanks

    I need a lot of practice turning bowls before I end up with something that will not be destined for a fire pit. I picked up a few of the economy blanks during my last trip to Klingspor, but even that is a little bit more expensive than I'd like to pay to practice. Any suggestions would be...

    carving practice

    I've decided that I need to know how to do Pie Crust carving so I got out a couple of books and started looking at patterns. This is my first effort. I think this will take some time to get the hang of:BangHead: Any body got any hints? View image in gallery

    Turning Practice

    Since I got my new lathe I've been trying to learn bowl turning. These are the ones that didn't go to the scrap pile. It has given me a new appreciation for you guys that can turn. Maybe with a lot more practice I'll get the hang of it. View image in gallery

    Practice handsaw cuts

    For those of you that didn't see my earlier thread: http://www.ncwoodworker.net/forums/f30/starting-out-hand-saws-21815/ I'm new to handsawing, and after reading some advice and reviews, I ended up getting the Veritas Dovetail saw. I don't really have a reference point to compare it except for...

    Getting Some Practice

    Well, finally! This evening I was able to take one of the maple logs from Phillips (ptt49er) neighbors downed tree and do something with them! Just roughed out a bowl for storage. The lumber was very wet, so it turned easily. Now I"m going to store it for a while and hopefully make a bowl...

    Safe shop practice...

    I wanted to pass on my habit. I use ear and eye protection all the time. I make it a point to return them to the same place after each use. After I setup for an operation, I make a slow deliberate walk across the shop to put on the safety gear. This "calms" me down and I feel much more...
