How to Layout Dovetails with Equal Pins | Paul Sellers

Filed under: Tools, Woodworking — Tags: HandTools, Joinery, PaulSellers — 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.

QotD: Haynes guide to tools of the trade

Filed under: Books, Britain, Humour, Quotations, Technology, Tools — Tags: HandTools, Parody, PowerTools, TechWriting — Nicholas @ 01:00

HAMMER: Originally employed as a weapon of war, the hammer is nowadays used as a kind of divining rod to locate expensive parts not far from the object we are trying to hit.

ELECTRIC HAND DRILL: Normally used for spinning steel Pop rivets in their holes until you die of old age, but it also works great for drilling mounting holes just above the brake line that goes to the rear wheel.

PLIERS: Used to round off bolt heads.

HACKSAW: One of a family of cutting tools built on the Ouija board principle. It transforms human energy into a crooked, unpredictable motion, and the more you attempt to influence its course, the more dismal your future becomes.

MOLE-GRIPS/ADJUSTABLE spanner: Used to round off bolt heads. If nothing else is available, they can also be used to transfer intense welding heat to the palm of your hand.

OXYACETELENE TORCH: Used almost entirely for lighting various flammable objects in your garage on fire. Also handy for igniting the grease inside a brake-drum you’re trying to get the bearing race out of.

WHITWORTH SOCKETS: Once used for working on older cars and motorcycles, they are now used mainly for impersonating that 9/16″ or 1/2″ socket you’ve been searching for for the last 15 minutes.

DRILL PRESS: A tall upright machine useful for suddenly snatching flat metal bar stock out of your hands so that it smacks you in the chest and flings your beer across the room, splattering it against that freshly painted part you were drying.

WIRE WHEEL: Cleans rust off old bolts and then throws them somewhere under the workbench with the speed of light. Also removes fingerprint whorls in about the time it takes you to say, “F….”

Do it by the book — the real meaning of Haynes instructions.

How to Sharpen a Gouge | Paul Sellers

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

Paul Sellers
Published 13 Mar 2017

Paul shows how to sharpen a gouge using his standard method, rocking the gouge side to side. He uses flat stones, in this case diamond stones in coarse (250), fine (600) and super fine (1200) grit, followed by a strop charged with buffing compound. Then you’re ready for carving.

For a beginner friendly guide on sharpening a gouge, see our sister site: https://commonwoodworking.com/sharpen…
