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.
Notes on the finish:
Four coats of Hope's 100% Tung Oil, first coat was a 50/50 mix with mineral spirits. Done over the span of three days.
Let dry for 36 hours and then work with 0000 steel wool.
Pad on a thick coat of clear shellac and let dry 12 hours.
Sand smooth with 400 grit sandpaper and then the steel wool.
Twice pad on thin layers of shellac. Did this with two bowls, one with shellac and the other with alcohol and a cotton cloth folded over a few times. Get the cloth wet with alcohol and then dip in shellac and brush/fly over the wood to apply. As needed, dip in alcohol and use to smooth out the now tacky shellac.
Let dry 12 hours and work with steel wool until as smooth as I can get it.
Then buff with paste wax to leave it with this wonderful shiny wet look.
Let dry another 36 hours.
Wrap and give to sweetie while drinking beer and eating oysters.
This is a pneumatic nail gun, but it's not just any pneumatic nail gun. It's a nail gun specifically designed for use on decorative nails (also known as decorative tacks, nail head, brads, upholstery nails, etc). It comes with many different tips of many different shapes and sizes so that it can fit almost any (normal) nail head. Also, the tip is specifically designed to not damage the heads of the nails! This gun is great for quickly tacking in nails on your furniture (or artwork, as some of our customers use our nails for).

U.S. Army Soldiers, assigned to 23rd Brigade Engineer Battalion, 1-2 Stryker Brigade Combat Team, complete initial tactical training with civilian firefighters working with the U.S. Forest Service in the Umpqua National Forest, Umpqua North Complex, Oregon, September 8, 2017. The Soldiers learned how to construct a fireline, which is made using hand tools to cut, scrape or dig in order to remove brush and debris that might fuel the spread of the fire.

The Grandy Boat Company was formerly located on Lake Union in Seattle, and made many hundreds of boats both large and small during a long tenure there from the early 1920's to 1967. These small craft are one of our most popular boats.
Here's a good web page about the company and it's boats: home.comcast.net/~btse1/grandy/grandymainpage.htm
We build these boats to lines and documentation taken by our Chief Instructor, Tim Lee, from an original boat owned by The Center For Wooden Boats www.cwb.org in Seattle WA.
The Grandy's we build are usually between 11.5 and 14.5 feet long. They're lapstrake planked in western red cedar, with sapele stems, keels and transoms. Frames are White Oak or Black Locust.
The Northwest School of Wooden Boatbuilding is located in Port Hadlock WA and is a private, accredited non-profit vocational school. You can find us on the web at www.nwboatschool.org .
Our mission is to teach and preserve the skills and crafts of fine wooden boatbuilding and other traditional maritime crafts.

This is a decorative nail head, aka upholstery tack, decorative nail head, concho, decorative tack, brad, button, decorative nail trim, tack trimming, etc. These are regularly seen lining the edge of couches, chairs, lounges, ottomans, tables, etc. Decorative Nail Heads give your furniture that extra something. They just make it seem less plain. Furniture isn't the only place they can be used though. Most of our customers don't use them for furniture at all, in fact. They're artists, or designers, so they decorate their walls, arts and crafts projects, knives, bars, their artwork, mirrors, purses, and much, much more. You can find MANY different ways to use these. Interesting little gizmos in your every day life. See what you can find to do with them, and ADVERTISERS!, if you would like, we'll even advertise for you on our website. Take a look at www.furniturerestorationtoolsandsupplies.com. Right on the front page, we show anyone who visits our website what can be done with the decorative nail heads, and we're always looking for more, interesting ways of using them. Send pictures and your information to: sam@BrandtandWhitney.com, and we'll put them up on our website.
This particular nail head is called the 22H, and despite there only being one nail in the picture, it actually comes in two different finishes: Black Nickel (as shown), and oxidized.
This is from a "kiridashi" style knife. Probably some sort of utility knife. Possibly a leather tool.
I mostly uploaded this image for Kim Malmberg to see.
Doesnt come through well in the photo but the only flat surface on this bench is the bottom of the legs. All other surfaces and edges have gentle curves and contours. Did it all with handtools just for fun. The outside is smooth and the inside has texture, wonderful to feel. Made from Port Orford Cedar.
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.

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.

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.
