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 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.
Melanya was a member of the 2009 class; she's seen here in the first week of the Basic Skills class learning the joints needed to build boats. As of early 2013, she is working at Haven shipbuilding in Port Townsend WA.
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.

Carolina Mountain Club Friday crew has been working on this new section of the MST for two years now and it could take us another two to complete these two miles. True to its name, this area is very rocky and often wet.

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 light little hand tool works brilliantly for cutting the clumps of weedy grass that are 5x taller than the rest of my "lawn." Seeds of Change sells it as the "Kama" but I ordered it, along with several other tools, direct from a Japanese tool importer to cut out a level of middleman: www.hidatool.com/shop/shop.html

In an effort to purge the house of as much stuff as possible, I delivered the day bed that we never assembled while living in Easton to Marybeth in Williamsburg. Remarkably, I was able to get the frame to fit in my Passat with a little patient figuring and sitting closer to the wheel than I liked. Mb and I are trying to remain amicable with one another and for the most part that is true, so I was more than happy to help reassemble the bed for her since I'll likely be sleeping in it as some point too. Trying to be as prepared as possible I took my socket set and alan wrenches with me. It only took me about 20 minutes to put the bed together, though some of the nuts and washers loosened free of the bolts. A quick run and a whopping $.63 later I was able to complete the job (I found most of the missing pieces after I returned home).
I grabbed the alan wrenches from this box of hand tools that I recently repacked in a successful effort to organize the garage to minimize the clutter. My Realtor is going to be happy with me!
