Fomapan 100 4x5 in Caffenol.
Shot using my 8x10 to 4x5 reducing back, which I had to modify to fit the camera.
This photo is of a traditional, European woodworking bench I built a few weeks ago from pine (nothing fancy!) using only hand tools and traditional joinery. The shavings on the workbench are from planing down the reducing back to fit the camera. I wish I made this bench years ago!
Scanned at 1600 spi. This is 10% of the original size. I need to clean the scanner glass and the film...

Tool chests, more prperly called "shoulder boxes", are a culminating project inthe Basic Boatbuilding course.
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.
