Posted: 29 Jul 2015 09:49 AM PDT http://clarkatron.tumblr.com/post/125354280019 A video posted by Clark Kellogg (@clark_kellogg) on Jul 29, 2015 at 9:49am PDT Turning the offset-tapered (or whatever you want to call it) legs- basically, the top of the leg is held slightly off-center from the centerpoint of the leg, and the bottom of the leg is held slightly *more* off-center. The black lines running down the leg represent the outside tangents of the leg. When everything but those lines has been turned away, you should (theoretically) have a nice, straight-tapered leg. /////////////////////////////////////////// I really like the shavings that drawknives make- smooth and... Posted: 29 Jul 2015 08:14 AM PDT http://clarkatron.tumblr.com/post/125348390109 I really like the shavings that drawknives make- smooth and burnished and rough and broken all at the same time. /////////////////////////////////////////// Removing waste material with a drawknife before the legs go on... Posted: 29 Jul 2015 08:09 AM PDT http://clarkatron.tumblr.com/post/125348126414 Removing waste material with a drawknife before the legs go on the lathe. I’m not too worried about the shape for now, I’m just removing the bulk of what doesn’t need to be there. Also, it is way more fun to play on a shavehorse with a drawknife than it is to have wood chips sprayed into your face in front of a lathe. /////////////////////////////////////////// Planing the top of the little kwila console table.

This wood planes beautifully, except that the shavings just crumble into soot and it looks like you work in a coal mine.
