Started my day with a little bit of workshop organization. Made a C clamp rack and a hand screw clamp rack. They've been laying around my workshop far too long and it's about time they had a home on the walls. Quick and easy jobs are great to start your day. . . . , . . #wood #woodwork #woodworker #woodworking #workshop #improvement #simple #simplify #maker #handmade #diy #doityourself #clamp #clamps #clamprack #cclamp #handscrews #thejawnshop

And here they are, the finished handscrews! Not exactly the most exciting project in history, but it's nice to have another item checked off the list. And for me, it's a big deal to have finished another project, however simple it is - each time I finish something, I learn more.
My phone's stopped letting me post photos to Tumblr for some reason - it claim's it's trying, it just never succeeds - and I'm so busy with other stuff that I never have time to hop on the computer, bring pictures over, crop, resize, and upload them here. But this morning I woke up at about 4:15 and couldn't sleep so I eventually got up and decided to put the pictures up. So here we are. :-)
These pictures are from my current project, a quartet of handscrews. (Old fashioned wooden clamps.) The hardware is a kit from Dubuque Clamp Works (via Lee Valley), but it's not in any of these pictures yet, so... yeah. The wooden bodies are purpleheart on the outside and maple on the inside, based on a pattern from a Wood magazine publication my Dad had in his collection.
The first picture is just something that amuses me, seeing all the clamps needed for such a small piece of wood... Also the irony of not having enough clamps to put together all my clamps. :-) The second picture is a reminder for me to pay attention when doing these things... I'd made a test version of these clamps with other wood and decided I would like them slightly wider, so I made both the purpleheart and maple about 1/2 wider than the template. But on the purpleheart, I added the extra wood to the outside of the body of the jaws, and on the maple, I added the extra wood to the inside of the jaws. So then I wasted more time fixing that and ended up with the original, which I've decided I like better anyway because the extra width would mean extra weight. So that's OK. The third picture is what the bodies looked like once trimmed to rough shape.
That fourth picture is the one I really like, because it shows off what happens to this wood once I put the Livos (a wonderful oil finish) on there. The picture looks like the camera's exaggerating the effect, but in reality, it might be underselling it a little. The wood looks just ridiculously beautiful. It's less shiny in person than the camera makes it seem, but it's got so much depth and warmth to it...
Next step for these things: I have some lovely figured-maple turning blanks that I'm going to turn into handles, then it's assembly time!
