Давайте немного пофилософствуем. Представьте, будто вы никогда не видели молоток, и вот сейчас он перед вами. Вы видите твёрдую металлическую часть странной формы с зацепками для гвоздей и ударной поверхностью. Затем вы видите длинную деревянную часть, ровную, немного больше, чем размер вашей...
“I'm not the kind to use a pencil or rule. I'm handy with love and I'm no fool. I fix broken hearts, I know that I truly can…”
Handyman: James Taylor, James Taylor Live
I discovered this song by complete random accident, when I bought James Taylor’s double disc live album for the song “Fire and Rain”. Most other songs on that album had to grow on me, but this is one that immediately stood out and said “Wow!!” to me.
I love the sound capture in the music- the Fender Stratocaster that opens the song is simply beautiful, but the real essence of the song is Taylor’s lyrics and voice. He always has such a softness to his songs and pairs well with other artists or by himself. I don’t think I could picture him pairing up with Twisted Sister or Motley Crue though…
I think what stood out for this song is that lyrically it is a great concept and story… but more than that it seems like every word of every line is perfectly placed. There isn’t a line I would re-write or say “This would have been a better phrasing.” Not that he or anyone else would even listen to my advice but the concept is the same. It all works so very well and so when I approach composing music if something doesn’t fit- I turn to a perfectionist until it feels right.
*** Artist Notes ***
My tool chest and the infamous heart used in several shots. Best $1 I ever spent!
Lyrics:
Hey girls, gather round
Listen to what I'm putting down
Whoo baby, I'm your handyman
I'm not the kind to use a pencil or rule
I'm handy with love and I'm no fool
I fix broken hearts, I know that I truly can
If your broken heart should need repair
Than I am the man to see
I whisper sweet things, you tell all your friends
They'll come runnin' to me
Here is the main thing I want to say
I'm busy 24 hours a day
I fix broken hearts, I know that I truly can
Come-a, come-a, come-a, come-a, come, come
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Come-a, come-a, come-a, come-a, come, come,
They'll come runnin' to me
Here is the main thing I want to say
I'm busy 24 hours a day
I fix broken hearts, baby I'm your handy man
Come-a, come-a, come-a, come-a, come, come
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Come-a, come-a, come-a, come-a, come, come,
They'll come runnin' to me
That's me.

This is a swivel rocker mechanism base with five legs. Attaching this to the bottom of your chair will give you more versatility and manoeuvrability than an average swivel or rocker chair. This part is heavy duty, and built to last a long time.

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.

An adze I forged from a railroad spike and a stool that I made, in part, with the adze.
I like to do things start to finish (I know it's impossible). If I could, I would collect the seed, plant the tree, nurture it, cut it down with an axe, mill the wood with a saw I made, carve the item with tools I made, make the stain and finish... blah blah blah. You get the picture.
This is as close as I may come. All hand carved. Legs split with froe and rounded with draw knives and spoke shaves. Seat carved with the adze and an assortment of compass planes and travishers.
BTW it's very comfortable and functional for low work. I use it every day. It gets rained on and knocked around.
It's 9 PM on July 22 and we're entering Peoria, Illinois. As the sky darkens, the headlights are beginning to show on the oncoming traffic and the big rigs are looking their best.
Random Road Shots - On My Toad Again
On my toad again,
Just can't wait to be on my toad again,
Feels so good to ride my little hopping friend,
And I can't wait to be on my toad again.
On my toad again,
Hoppin' places where we've never been,
Seein' faces we may never see again
And I can't wait to be on my toad again.
On my toad again,
Hippy hopping down the highway.
We're the best of friends,
Insisting that the world keep hoppin' our way,
and our way.
On my toad again,
Just can't wait to be on my toad again,
Feels so good to ride my little hopping friend,
And I can't wait to be on my toad again.
I've cut the hole out and added a drawer frame made from scraps of pine and meranti, the next stage is making the actual drawer, I used quite chunky/heavy stock to help add more mass to the bench.
The Crosby catboat was built by the Traditional Large Craft classes of 2008 and 2009 under the direction of instructor Richard Wilmore. Student Amos Howe is seen here at work on the deck beams.
This boat was built using the construction plans contained in the Mystic Seaport book Building the Crosby Catboat by Barry Thomas. www.mysticseaport.org/index.cfm?fuseaction=shop.museumPro...
It is essentially the same boat as is the well-known catboat BRECK MARSHALL at Mystic Seaport. www.mysticseaport.org/index.cfm?fuseaction=home.viewpage&...

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 skills and crafts of fine wooden boatbuilding and other traditional maritime crafts.

One day, on a whim, I added a hand hoe to an on-line purchase. I've tried all sorts of hand tools in the garden and have been disappointed almost every time. Like my cobra head weeder, most of them are gathering dust. Little did I know how much I would love this tool and how often I would use it. In fast, it's probably my most used garden hand tool.
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.
