Many old moulding planes have boxwood inlays in certain areas of the plane that are exposed to high wear. Sometimes the profile of this boxwood inlay is quite complicated like here for example: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Antique-Mould ... 2321c42ae1 Has anybody an idea about how it was made...

Hi folks, For those who might be interested I'd like to share the results of my latest tests to use the router as a "scribing tool" for ripping. Pictures tell more than words, so here they are: My primitive router table with a 1,6 mm slot cutter...

I made a bench to be put over the radiator in our living room. Frozen ladies might like this in winter time :wink: . It is made from cherry. Normally, I prefer hand tools, but for this bench I made a little and primitive router table for my weak Bosch POF 600 which was a great help with the...

Hi Folks, inspired by a simply made but somehow appealing rocking horse I once saw in a pub I planned to build one myself. What appealed me in particular was the possibility of folding it to a more comfortable size when not in use. I took some photos and measured the essential sizes with...

I would like to briefly introduce my recently finished bathroom cabinet (too tall for showing in one picture). The cabinet is about 230 cm high, 38 cm wide and 36 cm deep. The two carcasses are made from rowan and were dovetailed by hand. Originally, I had planned only horizontal mouldings...

I would like to show some pics of my recently finished little bow saw. Made from maple, walnut (sapwood) and padouk. The “nut” with its movable stopper enables an easy tension adjustment by half turns. Blade is made from steel 0,3 mm in thickness and filed for cross-cut with 16 ppi...

Hi all! If someone is interested I have posted some pictures of a small chest of drawers here: http://www.woodworking.de/cgi-bin/forum ... read/38251 Drawers are made from service tree and complete handwork. Frame is walnut and the rougher work was supported by some machinework. However, also...

Hello there! Anyone here who has experience or theoretical knowledge regarding the making of saws from scrapers? I am currently thinking about making a small dovetail-saw from a scraper (just for fun) and was wondering if the scraper steel is hard enough. Old saws are sometimes recommended for...

Hi folks, just some pics of my recently built framesaw supposed for ripping wood. Frame from cherry with halv-blind dovetails. The piece of apple wood was ripped within a few minutes. Thanks for looking and regards Philipp

Dear all, Again some pics of another project, a handmade plane from padouk. Chinese (sic!) 44 mm-HSS-iron from Dick, 58° bedding angle, bolt made of holly (ilex). Hammer head made from some unknown heavy tropical wood, handle from yew. It was great fun making this plane and it surely wasn't...

Hi folks, Some images of my cherry blanket chest (not for blankets though) in cherry. Only handtools were used. Regards Philipp European cherry veneer outside. American black-cherry veneer inside.

Hello there! Since summer I am a proud owner of a Veritas Low-angle jack-plane. My uncle was so kind to go to Lee Valley in Toronto and to bring it for me - together with others - when he went to Europe. I already spent some hours of happy working and planing and I am generally convinced about...

Hello folks, I am considering the purchase of some traditional firmer chisels which appear to me to be the better choice for rough work, like cutting mortises, than bevelled chisels. Since a colleague of mine will travel to the UK in some weeks he will be charged with bringing along some tools...
