How to use a Shooting Board | Paul Sellers

Filed under: Tools, Woodworking — Tags: , , , — Nicholas @ 02:00

Paul Sellers
Published 11 Dec 2020

If you have never used a shooting board for squaring up the ends of wood and finalising rough-cut mitres, you are in for a treat.

Nothing works so beautifully for perfecting such cuts, and the pure bliss of slicing off those onion skins to seat the two faces perfectly is second to none. It’s self-explanatory to make one of these, but showing it in use demystifies how they work and why they work so very well. You must make one for yourself. It’s another lifetime piece of equipment for the cost of wood scraps and an hour of your time!

How to Layout Dovetails with Equal Pins | Paul Sellers

Filed under: Tools, Woodworking — Tags: , , — Nicholas @ 02:00

Paul Sellers
Published 27 Nov 2020

Dividing for dovetails using an angled line makes it easier to layout for equally sized dovetails but the standard method used leaves half pins on the outside edges. In some projects, this can be a weak point.

This video shows you how to layout for equally sized dovetails and pins. In this case, the board is 5 1/4″ (133.35mm), and we want five 1/2″ (12.7mm) pins and four dovetails but this system can be adapted to any variation of numbers and pins sizes.

Here’s The REAL DIFFERENCE Between OAK Lumber

Filed under: Woodworking — Tags: — Nicholas @ 02:00

Woodworkers Source
Published 14 Apr 2019

PLEASE EXPLAIN the difference between oak lumber? And the difference between quarter sawn and flat sawn? (See 4:26)

Okay. Let’s do that!

Seriously folks, we get this question a lot. LIKE, A LOT. First of all, sorry about the confusion. Second, it even confounds us from time to time. But we’re gonna fix that today.

Let’s do this! This video walks you through the differences that would matter to a woodworker when you’re choosing a wood for your project and you’re just sick of hearing the word “OAK” and not knowing what the heck that means.

Fact Check: 3:14 USS Constitution‘s hull is made of both white oak and live oak. While the ship’s ability to take a pounding of cannonball fire isn’t because of the white oak alone. Our point remains the same, though, that white oak is strong, durable, and a good choice for projects that will be exposed to water or when toughness is important to you. Thanks for your time. 👍

Published 11 Apr 2013

This is a basic overview of woodturning and its tools as it relates to other aspects in woodworking. In it I turn a project, start to finish (including finishing) in real time utilizing the roughing gouge, skew chisel, spindle gouge and bowl gouge while explaining how to use them and why they work. Knowledge from K-12 school, experience and common sense is referenced.
