The finish left off the saw is mind blowing.Whoever thought one could resaw in a mitre box and with such accuracy. #resawing #resaw #handmade #handtoolsmostly#handtoolsmostly #handcrafted #woodworking I performed a rubbed joint and edge glued two pieces with animal hide glue. As you can it works really well. The reason is as the glue loses moisture it draws the two pieces together forming a really strong bond. If hammering it won’t tear it apart then you can say with assurance our old time woodworkers knew what they were doing. However, with using liquid hide glue you cannot perform a rubbed joint. It must be clamped for 24th or for best results 48hrs as with most modern day glues. #handmade #hideglue #handwork #handmade #handmadeinaustralia #handmadewithlove #oldhandtools #handcrafted #handmadegifts #handtools #handcraftedfurniture #byhandandeye #handtoolwoodworking #handtool #handtoolthursday #handtoolsonly #handtooled #handtoolswoodworking #handtoolwoodworker #handtoolschool #handtoolsrule #handtoolswork #handtoolwoodworker #handtoolwoodwork #handtoolshop #handtoolonly #handtoolwork #handtoolsonlyshop #woodworking #finewoodworking #finewoodwork I needed to resaw this beech as close to half and as perfectly as possible. All I could think of was using my Stanley mitre box I restored not long ago. I centred the piece to the blade or very close to it and then clamped both sides of the ends against the fence. I wasn’t sure if it was going to work and much to my surprise it worked extremely well. Other than the grease marks left from the blade the surface was very smooth and even. I can still teach myself a new trick or two. A bandsaw would really come handy on re-saving but if that’s all you’re going to use a bandsaw for there’s no point in having one take up workshop floor realestate and ruin your peaceful environment. Holding the phone and sawing at the same time really threw me off of my game. This is the best way I know how to thickness a board by hand. #handmade #handtoolsmostly #handmadewithlove #handtools #handtoolwoodworking #handmadeinaustralia People often wonder what should the consistency of hide glue look like. Rather than telling you like maple syrup, as not everyone knows what maple syrup is. I thought I’d show it to you instead. I’ve also begun to pour the glue into small bottles. They’re less messy, quicker to heat and there’s no clean up of the inner pot afterwards. I refrigerate the bottle at the end of the day. It may last three days to three weeks. #hideglue #glue #gluepot #handtoolsmostly #handtools #handtoolsonly #handtoolwoodworking #handwork Wrought nails are 16-16th century nails. They’re chunky and have unbelievable holding power. You can’t use them on everything but on rustic projects they really add authenticity and visual beauty plus real strength. #wroughtiron #nails #homecraft #handcrafted #handcraft #woodworking #handmade #handmadeinaustralia Hand clamps are one of the most useful clamps for light duty work and easy to make. Easy provided you made the cam right and drilled the hole in the right spot. Not even the commercially made are perfect so don’t expect yours to be. It takes several goes to nail it like I have mine. The cam lever should grip and not extend too far from vertical. You will know when it’s clamping the object good. I’ve seen cam levers almost in horizontal position that’s not providing any clamping force. #handtoolsmostly #handtools #handtoolsonly #handtoolwoodworking #camclamps #handtoolswork Here I’m making my own shellac. Shellac is a great natural finish that surface dries fast allowing you to add several coats in a day. Don’t let that fool you though as all shellac finishes need 10 days to fully cure. The intllab is Chris Schwarz recommendation to help dissolve the flakes quicker, usually about two hours and you’re good to go. #shellac #shellacmoscow #finishes #woodworking Durian and red oak.
