#carversbench

Jointing a couple of planks together. These will make up half of the bench top. I found a couple of old C clamps left over from my boat building days. Without any long clamps here in the summer woodshop, I'll be doing rub joints and driving wedges to put this thing together....fun stuff! Find all of the details on today's episode of An Unplugged Life. #TheUnpluggedWoodshop #AnUnpluggedLife #carversbench #jointing #unpluggedsummer #summer2017 #woodworkingproject #woodworkingclassesonline #Workbench #handtoolsonly #capebretonisland #eastcoast #nopowernoproblem (at Belle Cote, Cape Breton, NS)

Lap joints. Considerations, execution and integrity. There may be more than you think! Just posted a mini-episode of An Unplugged Life and thinking out loud about lap joints. All good stuff as I work my way through the Carver's Bench. Details on the Unplugged Woodshop website. EP 352 is UP!

Getting to work....a carver's bench. Using reclaimed materials I've had around the workshop, I'm building a dedicated carver's bench. Specifically sized to hold my next project up high, where I'll be more comfortable carving, and store my new tool chests below. New episodes coming soon to An Unplugged Life- stay tuned... #theunpluggedwoodshop #anunpluggedlife #unpluggedsummer #eastcoast #capebretonisland #woodworkingproject #woodworkingclassesonline #carversbench #workbench #workshop #handtoolsonly #madebyhand #designermaker #summer2017 (at Belle Cote, Cape Breton, NS)
