Laser Cutting Class

October 20, 2020 by 4g3nd4

Our second laser cutting class at Tam Makers, taught by Geo Monley and Chelsea Andersson. This new evening course for adults took place on June 22, 2016 at the woodshop in Tam High School, Mill Valley.

We started the class at 6pm, by showing students how the laser cutter works in detail. We then took turns cutting up photo frames and other simple projects, while the rest of the class took a certification quiz.

Students seemed to enjoy this class and told us they learned a lot from it. This is one of our first maker courses at Tam Makers, and we’re really happy that it is going so well; we look forward to teaching more classes in the fall.

End-grain Cutting Board

October 12, 2020 by 4g3nd4

To create this butcher block I first milled down and laminated a number of maple squares. I then squared off the entire lamination and used a bullnose router bit to groove the handles. After that a circle jig was used to cut the circle on the table saw. The finish is mineral oil.

IMG_5313 – Port Hadlock WA – Northwest School of Wooden Boatbuilding – Traditional Large Craft – Hacker-21 Special – student Johnathan Ishmael cutting the stem rabbet

Student Johnathan Ishmael at work cutting the rabbet on the stem of the Hacker-21 Special.

This 21-foot runabout was designed by John L Hacker in the mid-1930’s while working in Detroit Michigan for the Canadian Greavette Company.

The Class of 2014 has been commissioned to build the boat. The new boat will have a bottom laminated of mahogany over marine plywood and mahogany sides and decks. It will be powered by a Crusader 5.7-liter engine.

The Northwest School of Wooden Boatbuilding is located in Port Hadlock WA and is an accredited, non-profit vocational school. You can find us on the web at www.nwboatschool.org .

Our mission is to teach and preserve the fine art of wooden boatbuilding and traditional maritime crafts.

We build both commissioned and speculative boats to US Coast Guard standards while teaching adult students the traditional wood and wood composite boatbuilding skills they will need to work in the marine trades. We sell our boats to help support the School. Please feel free to give us a call should you like to discuss our building a boat for you.

You can reach us via e-mail at info@nwboatschool.org or by calling us at 360-385-4948.

Chisel Edge n Wood Chip ( Explore on 2016-10-17 # 19)

August 29, 2020 by 4g3nd4

A chisel is a tool with a characteristically shaped cutting edge (such that wood chisels have lent part of their name to a particular grind) of blade on its end, for carving or cutting a hard material such as wood, stone, or metal by hand, struck with a mallet, or mechanical power.[1] The handle and blade of some types of chisel are made of metal or of wood with a sharp edge in it.

Chisel use involves forcing the blade into some material to cut it. The driving force may be applied by pushing by hand, or by using a mallet or hammer. In industrial use, a hydraulic ram or falling weight (‘trip hammer’) drives a chisel into the material.

A gouge, one type of chisel, serves – particularly in woodworking, woodturning and sculpture – to carve small pieces from the material. Gouges most frequently produce concave surfaces. A gouge typically has a ‘U’-shaped cross-section.

Equilateral triangle cutting jig

August 25, 2020 by 4g3nd4

After wasting a lot of plywood trying to get a true 60 degree angle using a Chinese-made adjustable triangle, I finally made a new layout using a simple method that I learned 40 years ago in geometry class, but had forgotten until it was brought to my attention again by the folks at Lumberjocks.

Use a compass to lay out all three sides of a triangle that are of equal length (that is, an equilateral triangle), and the inside angles will all be 60 degrees.

I didn’t have a compass, so I made one from a pencil, a couple deck screws and a length of scrap plywood (boy do I have a lot of scrap plywood now). Once I had my line at 60 degrees from the cutting edge, I just screwed down a couple pieces of plywood to act as blocks. The long block also has a couple of toggle clamps, which are handy with large pieces of plywood.

Result: Perfect equilateral triangles!

Cutting Boards

August 11, 2020 by 4g3nd4

Hey everyone!

A brief update about myself, I have been in college for the past 4 years and will graduate in May. After that, I will be attending medical school for the next 4+ years. I obviously won’t really be able to do much with LEGO, but I do log in and check in with people’s creations all the time.

When I am not able to work on any large LEGO projects, I like to do various forms of woodworking. I will be uploading a couple of my creations as they are finished. I made these cutting boards using sugar maple. They are end grain, and glued/edged together. I have been making these for wedding presents for some close friends, and my girlfriend Megan does the really beautiful woodburning pattern.

Let me know what you think!

Take care,
Blake

Cutting edge, is it Knot? (Pun Intended)

August 9, 2020 by 4g3nd4

This is my entry for this week’s Macro Mondays challenge, Hobby.

Among my many hobbies (Cricket, Photography, Games, Cooking etc.) I like Woodworking to be one of the best.
Not least because it is the most recent one, but mainly because it is like my job as an Engineer – you imagine, you design and you build, you fail, you correct and you succeed.

Also, as many countless people before me have said, making something with your own hands has a sense of satisfaction that is matched by very few other things.

Setup: I used two speedlights spilling light onto two DIY paper diffusers – one to light the scene fully, the other one to get the shiny bevel on the Chisel.

Although, in reality, those shavings were the result of planing wood rather than chiseling, for me this is a more pleasant image.
Having said all that, MY CHISELS NEED SHARPENING!
