Beech Chopping Board with draw bore tenons made with quartersawn english beech, it was very heavy and unusually hard but I am happy with how it turned out, made entirely with hand tools. This is a Paul Sellers project from woodworkingmasterclasses.
Crusted in rust, sitting on a garage sale table, my wife spotted this for me for $10.00.
It finished up nice and is my "go to" plane.
Very fine shavings
LegoMatic Drill, 1979
This is a LEGO MOC model.
MOC Specifications:
width: 135mm
scale: 1:3
main brick colour: yellow
year of construction: 1979
FURTHER INFORMATION
This creation was made for an official LEGO competition in the LEGO club Bricks 'n' Pieces newsletter in the summer of 1979, which aimed to create a model using 15 bricks or less.
The model was re-built for the photos seen here. I've posted it here as this is the first MOC I kept a record of. As you can see it includes a number of elements from the then recently released Technic range of 1977.
The School begins classes once each year, early in October. Students are divided into sections of 12 students each, and get two hours of classroom instruction and six hours of shop instruction per day, Monday through Friday 8am - 5pm.
Basic Boatbuilding is the focus of the first semester, which runs from early October to late December.
The instructors assume that most, if not all, students have no woodworking skills and proceed from that assumption. The skills taught in the first semester are those essential to boatbuilding, and the course, for that reason, is very "hands-on".
Students learn to sharpen and use all their tools, and participate in a wide range of individual skill-building exercises, from learning to make the joints commonly used in boatbuilding to a series of tools. Students learn to draft and make a half-model. Then, working in pairs, they learn to loft a boat full-size on the floor. Finally, working, together as a team, the semester culminates in December as students work together to build a flat-bottomed skiff.
This is a student's shoulder box, or tool chest. If you look closely, you'll see a rather rare folding drawknife in the till closest to the camera.

This 21-foot runabout was designed by John L Hacker in the mid-1930's while working in Detroit Michigan for the Canadian Greavette Company.
The Class of 2014 has been commissioned to build the boat. The new boat will have a bottom laminated of mahogany over marine plywood and mahogany sides and decks. It will be powered by a Crusader 5.7-liter engine.

Our mission is to teach and preserve the fine art of wooden boatbuilding and traditional maritime crafts.
We build both commissioned and speculative boats to US Coast Guard standards while teaching adult students the traditional wood and wood composite boatbuilding skills they will need to work in the marine trades. We sell our boats to help support the School. Please feel free to give us a call should you like to discuss our building a boat for you.

Dovetailed tool chests, which boatbuilders would know as "shoulder boxes", are one of the many projects built in the Basic Boatbuilding class. We've built these boxes in every one of our 32 classes over the years since our founding in 1981.
Shoulder boxes were used to make it easier to carry the tools needed for the day's work to the job site. Students customize these boxes in all sorts of different ways.

This is a picture featuring probably the best woodworking tool I own, a Lie-Nielsen jack plane. I don't think I'm worthy of it, but I'm trying to be. I was shaving some paper thin slices off this walnut board and thought it might make a good shot. The image also features a lignum vitae mallet I turned a long time ago, and the bench I made in (you guessed it) 1994.

Like the Mack's Canyon fire of 1981, the Camp Stimpson Fire of 1983 was in the Spring Mountains outside of Las Vegas, Nevada. In this photo the crew is on the way from the main fire camp up to the fire. The long shadows on the road show that it was early morning. The hike up to the fire was long and mostly uphill. As I remember, it took us until early afternoon to reach the fire, and we didn't walk slow. Our foreman, Terry Leatherman, always lead us when we lined out, and he had a long leg. The assistant foreman, Marty Lukes, always brought up the rear. March or die Legionnaires. Stragglers will be shot. That's me immediately in front of Marty.
After fighting the fire until nearly dark, we hiked to the top of the mountain where our gear—flown up in a helicopter sling load—waited for us in a rocky spike camp that would be our home for the next week. The spike camp was so steep that we had to move rocks and scrape out body-sized hollows where we could sleep without rolling down the slope. In typical spike-camp fashion, all our food and water had to be flown up to us. Everything came in sling loads because there was no place to land a helicopter up there.
A word about gear. A member of a Hotshot crew carries two kinds of gear—a fire pack and web gear.
A fire pack is regular backpacker's pack that holds a sleeping bag, ground sheet, warm jacket, extra clothes, toiletries, and any comfort items you might carry, such as a contraband bottle of whiskey and a deck of cards. (Pinochle and, to a lesser extent, cribbage were our games.) Your fire pack must weigh no more than twenty-five pounds. Fire packs stay in camp when a crew is out on a fire, and there is a rule that if you spend a night without access to your pack, you get paid straight through the night whether you are working or not. Normally you don't have to lug your fire pack long distances, but if your crew has to walk from a spike camp to the nearest road, you can end up carrying your fire pack a lot of miles.
Web gear is the gear you carry with you when you are on the fire line. Web gear typically includes your canteens (usually four quarts of water), fire shelter, fusees, lunch, and any personal items you might need on a long shift, including a jacket in case it turns cold. I'm probably forgetting something. Typically, web gear weighs about twenty-five pounds, the same as a fire pack.
A hotshot crew also carries fire-fighting gear such as hand tools (typically Pulaskis and shovels) plus all the gear that goes with a crew's chainsaws—saws, spare parts, tools, oil, and four gallons of gas. Each hotshot crew owns and maintains its own chainsaws, hauling them from fire to fire. Typically, a hotshot crew will get Pulaskis and shovels from a supply source at a fire, though they will carry their own handtools when going out to fight small, usually local, fires.

Back in the day when I first got my hands on spanners I'd get an instruction off my old man along the lines of "ok, now tighten those up". My immediate question of course was "how tight?", and that's not an easy question to answer.
There's a host of terms that people use, including 'hand tight', 'finger tight' and all of them are meaningless except to people who have been doing bolts up for years.
I don't like working with uncertainties, but over time I've grown accustomed to the notion that if they don't say how tight it needs to be then it doesn't really matter TOO much.
Some of the bolts I've taken off the motorbike though do have specific information about how tight they need to be, and so that's why I'm using one of these - a torque wrench. This device lets you specify a specific torque to make sure you get the right tightness.
Back in the glorious eighties you only ever saw torque wrenches coming out for cylinder head bolts, but here I've used the specified torque for those where it's identified, including the shock absorber mounting bolts, rear wheel spindle bolts, swinging arm spindle bolts and a few others. Interestingly the top shock bolts are tighter than the bottom ones.
I remember talking to someone in the aeronautical game who said that everything, every single nut, bolt and screw in a plane has a torque specification whether it's the ones holding the engines in place or the screws holding the cupholders to the dashboard. That's just one of the reasons why they are so safe and servicing is so expensive!
