staring into the sun, 2018 (a little drawing on the side. the joy of getting lost in lines.)

These pop up veritas bench dogs are great for inserting into the top of a leg vice as you can't drill a hole all the way through. . . . . #legvice #veritas #benchdog #bench #benchpups #benchcrafted #oak #laminated #legvise #popup #clamping #clamp #workbench #workshop #diy #handmade #stuffimade #holddown

Spent the day placing Hold Down sleeves for an upcoming 6 story wood frame. There are only 64 in this slab. #seismic #holddown #simpsonstrongtie #structure • . . . . #carpenter #carpentry #woodworking #woodworker #woodwork #framer #framing #framersareadyingbreed #buildersofinsta #bluecollar #construction #framersofig #slab #rebar #steel #parkade #suspendedslab https://www.instagram.com/p/Bw3DOXBAZhe/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1l0c0owbon44m

Are you in a seismic zone? Do you install hold-downs, tension-ties, or slack-jacks? This little guy is on the second floor of the 5-story #landingprojectlangley. These are the largest @strongtie hold-downs I have seen thus far. Let me know what you are using or ask away if you have no idea what this is. #slackjack #holddown #tensionties #seismic #earthquakeproofing • . . . . #apparement #handforscale #carpenter #carpentry #woodworking #woodworker #woodwork #framer #framing #framersareadyingbreed #buildersofinsta #bluecollar #construction #framersofig #roughframing (at Langley, British Columbia) https://www.instagram.com/p/BnkjcrQgNde/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1c2susrei75z0

Here's the final product of my pre-work workshop shuffle and hustle session: a long overdue table saw sled that can be used for various things. First up on my list, it will be used as a tapering jig. I used some red oak for the table saw runners, the surface is some scrap pine plywood I had laying around, and I also installed some T track perpendicular to the blade. Pretty simple, but very useful. The idea with this jig is that you can clamp various width misshapen boards and put a clean, flat edge on them. #wood #woodshop #woodworking #woodworker #jig #tablesaw #sled #workshop #workshopimprovements #incra #clamp #holddown #ttrack (at Delran, New Jersey)
