Pictures from this year's first Traditional Timber Framing and Full Scribe Log building course. We were building a Norwegian log cabin taught by Norwegian carpenter Marius Holje. As well students built a massive French style timber frame structure from heavy larch timbers using French and Japanese scribe rule centre line layout system. Log building was build using only axes and chisels. No saws were used to cut the joints.

This is Ply Grip, also called Curve Grip, Pli Grip, etc. This is used on upholstery that that has a curved edge. staple this to the frame and tuck the fabric into it, clamp the two sides together (a hammer is suggested to close them fully -- tapping should do. There's no need to rare back and swing with all your might). If you use this, the edge on your fabric will be defined, and look much neater than using something like cardboard tackstrip (because the cardboard can't bend like the Ply Grip can!).
Miscellaneous shots in a Texas antique shop…sometimes these are fun places to not only browse but shoot pictures also. I rarely buy anything but it’s a great way to kill time and get out of the Texas heat.
Manufactured by Schrade as a ST5E. The slip joint pliers make this my overall favorite of all multi's.

Need a wrench?
If I were a scrap metal sculptor, that table had a bundle of fun bits for very cheap.

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. Basic lathe work is taught. 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.
The Northwest School of Wooden Boatbuilding is located in Port Hadlock WA and is a private, accredited non-profit vocational school.
Our mission is to teach and preserve the fine art of wooden boatbuilding and traditional maritime crafts. We build both commissioned and speculative boats for sale while teaching students boatbuilding the skills they need to work in the marine trades.

Found clearing out my brother's flat. This mole wrench belonged to my father and still has marks visible from when he locked them on to a stubborn nut, then "wellied" the wrench with a hammer (no he didn't serve in REME!).
The first "self gripping wrench" was patented in 1924 by William Petersen, a Nebraska blacksmith and called the "vise grip". In 1955 the Scotsman Thomas Coughtrie, managing director of MK Mole and Son, developed the "mole grip", very similar in appearance to the vise grip. The factory was in Crindau to the left of the Brynglas Tunnels on the M4 Motorway in Newport, and for years had a giant mole proclaiming "Newport - Home of the Mole Grip".
The Northwest School of Wooden Boatbuilding in Port Hadlock on Washington's Olympic Peninsula began its 32nd year on October 2nd, 2012 with orientation for the incoming class.
Here we have covered the foundation insulation. We are finishing up the roof and will soon add the straw bales and hand plaster.
The C. S. Osborne Webbing, Canvas Pliers is made with short hammer jaw. The hammer acts as a lever if a strong pull is required. Excellent tool for stretching canvas and webbing.

The centres for the angle cleats & coupling blocks have been punched using an automatic centre-punch (very handy little gadget!). In doing this I had realised that the fixings for the corner cleats would be too close to the inner face of the cleat, so I cut down an offcut of channel to make a larger unequal angle cleat which can now double up as the fixing point for the end posts.
Similar to the hand lawn mower, this would only work in lighter soils without a lot of rocks (the soil here is pretty much like that, sandy and few rocks). Haven't tried this yet but I've got it oiled up and ready to go. I don't want to use a gas-powered tiller, so it'll either be hand-dug or some combination with this.
