    Rule (Table) Joint Planes

    I am teaching a workshop on making a pair of rule joint molding planes. These are used to cut the dropleaf table joint. There is a matching pair, one to cut the hollow and one to cut the round. We will also cut a rule joint with our planes. The workshop is July 16-18 (3 days) at the Woodwright's...

    So what kinds of tips and tricks do you have for a folding rule?

    So I just got a new folding rule after thinking about it for months. What can you tell me about tips, tricks, uses, do's and dont's? I am eager to know. Thanks!

    Folding rule flip....

    This may be common knowledge, but I felt like I reinvented the wheel, again! I was measuring a long offcut 2x8 seeing if I could retask it for nefarious porpese. It was well over 8' long, and my folding rule was a mere 6' fully unfolded. So, laid out from one end, sure enough, I was...

    Log Caliper - Doyle / International Rule

    Been wanting to build a wooden log caliper with international rule on one side and Doyle on the other. The caliper jaws would need to be about 3' long that way I could scale a 6' diameter standing tree. Would like board toot measurements for common log lengths (8, 10, 12, 14, 16, 18, and 20)...

    Another Folding Rule

    This one was just given to me by my father, who received it from his father. I don't recall seeing this when a child, my Dad must have kept it put away. The only markings on it are "CONN", the numbers read from right to left, and it has the brass slide extension. Anyone know anything about...

    New rule for cutting drawer fronts

    We are all veterans of the golden rule of "measure twice to cut once". I have now discoverd a new cutting rule. When cutting solid cherry drawer fronts for a drawer which is 8 3/4" deep, always used the 3/4 mark that is to the left of the number 8. If you use the one to the right of the 8 you...

    Mortise and Tenon Rule of Thumb???

    Is there a general rule of thumb about what dimensions to make a mortise and tenon? I've dug around a bit and I've heard that your tenons should be 1/3 the width of the thickness of the board it's going into. I couldn't really find a good answer on how long or deep they should go. If there is...

    And remember, there is no greater safety rule than to wear these, safety shop glasses

    Just making my first stop on the site to introduce myself. I recently moved to Asheville from Bluffton, SC, and am opening a new chapter in my life, which I may go into torturous detail about elsewhere. I love woodworking and am dipping my toes into the industry/culture/hobby/business world...
