Just some random shots from our visit to the LSU Rural Life Museum, off of Essen Lane in Baton Rouge.
Note: this is a display of hand made moulding planes. This is how carpenters used to make the mouldings that you see in very old houses and antique furniture.
Have a great weekend...^+^

It has become increasingly difficult for me to pick up good, solid metal hand planes. They seem to have vanished from the face of the earth.
So I was happy when this one appeared. It is a Type 19 Stanley no 4. Not the hottest plane on the planet but made during times when Stanley was still trying to put some effort into handtools. It is well made with even castings, the rosewood handles have survived without scars and the japanning is still about 90 percent. And although the cutter has been sharpened a few times there's still plenty of meat in it.
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.
The C.S. Osborne Automatic Awl is an excellent upholstery tool for sewing leather, canvas and similar materials. The awl carries a spool of waxed polyester and nylon black thread on the handle. Hollow handle holds extra curved needle and wrench. Directions furnished with each awl explaining how automatic awl lock stitch can be effected in repair work. Furnished with one straight and one curved diamond point needle. Replacement parts available separately.

Sheradale Antique & Fine Furniture wax polish is manufactured to our traditional formulation using only the finest natural waxes including carnauba wax & pure beeswax. It's use will clean, nourishand enhance the natural patina of the wood and provide a longer lasting shine. Sherdale can be applied over most previously waxed or polished surfaces. If needed use Briwax Furniture Reviver or Briwax FurnitureCleaner to remove dirt and old waxes. Sheradale is available in Clear & Antique Brown. Given that the wax is so thin on the surface, Antique Brown is suitable for all medium & darker woods - the toning is slight and does impart some scratch cover. A truly fine cabinet finishers wax. So easy to use - a must in the tool box, around the house or in the shop. Wherever there are fine finishes!! 8 oz.
These 2 tire irons were standard issue tools sold with every Ford Model A automobile ever manufactured. Both irons are 10" long and were made to be used together to remove and install the slender Model A balloon tires.
The tire spoon with the square cutout on the end for adjusting the braking system is clearly marked "FORD A." The flat iron is unmarked for some reason. The Marked iron was manufactured for The Ford Motor Company by The K. R. Wilson Company. These two have been together for a very long time stored in a crumbling to bits (and really dirty) cotton bag, which I've passed along to the compost pile.
If you're lucky enough to own a Ford Model A and are looking for the basic tools, these two are a good start.

I've just finished making and fitting a new handle to this elderly trowel, for a friend. The original handle had rotted, and was, in any case, too thin to be held comfortably, as she suffers from arthritis. I had a long piece of yew which had been drying for the last three years or so, so I cut off a suitable length and shaped it for left-handed use. I've not done much work in yew before, but rather like it: I think I have sufficient straight length for a walking stick.
I didn't go to the sort of school which taught useful things like woodwork, and consequently, I had to teach myself, as and when the need arose. My first major project remains the largest I have ever tackled: a full-sized cabin bed for my son. The removals men cursed me, as it was huge and heavy, even broken down into sub-assemblies. Coming from an engineering background, I designed the thing with a view to it lasting, and it did: my son used it from the age of eight to seventeen, then we moved it back up to Bristol (we trailered it behind the Land-Rover), and my nephew took it over for a further eight years.
Other woodwork projects since have included a boot rack that needed two people to shift it, various walking sticks, two catteries, custom-built kitchen units, work benches, several tool handles, a couple of large bookcases, and a double-sized ashes box. As my old Latin master used to say, as his excuse for setting another long homework, 'It keeps you off the streets, boys!'

Instant Tool Collection!
Actually, there are 5 Stone worker's chisels in this funky old tool set. Chisel number 6 is a Woodworking chisel and number 3 is a boat-builder's caulking chisel. (This one also happens to be the most valuable chisel in the bunch.)
These old tools have been loved pretty darn hard and will all need to be reground and sharpened if you plan to use them for stonework. The pictures will tell you more than I can, so please take a look.
Of course you don't have to do anything at all if you plan to display them. This lot of seven funky tools make an awesome instant collection!

The tools I used to make a guitar amp head cabinet, and some progress on the box joints!
Briwax furniture wax is the premier multipurpose wax. Although originally developed for the artisan cabinet maker, it quickly became apparent that the untrained or amateur wood worker could obtain near professional results with this remarkably easy-to-use product. Amateurs and professionals alike, all agree, that no other wax can match the results that Briwax so easily delivers.
Briwax is a solvent based blend of beeswax and carnauba wax, two of ofthe finest wood finishing waxes known to man. Most of the waxes foundon the shelves today contain the solvents turpentine or mineralspirits. We use a much hotter solvent, toluene, which allows us toemulsify more of the harder, more durable waxes like carnauba to givebetter protection to your finished surfaces. The use of a hottersolvent results in the wax setting much more quickly, giving thecustomer the higher luster of the Briwax finish faster.
