5 lb Plumb Rockaway felling axe I restored. Attached a 36" octagonal hickory handle and am still working on the edge. This Rockaway is from the 1960s and I am pretty sure no one even makes these anymore. Piece of history right here.
The C. S. Osborne Webbing, Canvas Pliers is made with short hammer jaw. The hammer acts as a lever if a strong pull is required. Excellent tool for stretching canvas and webbing.
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.

These hand tools were being made at the roadside forge in southern Laos. The steel came from old truck springs.
This is Dave.
2 years ago Dave went to the Democratic Republic of Congo with our church to help teach carpentry and masonry work to orphan boys and young men at the Elikya ("Hope") Center. While there he realized the significant lack of resources available and observed the state that the tools the men had to work with were in, and upon returning to the states he took it on himself to begin collecting tools and useful supplies to send back to the Elikya Center.
Over the past few years Dave has collected 37 complete sets of human-powered tools (nothing electronic). 27 sets have already been shipped to the Congo, equaling over 1,200 lbs of tools in a 4-foot-square container - enough to provide tools for 17 carpenters, 8 masons, and 2 mechanics. The final 10 complete sets are now in the process of being packed, and faith and trust are being held that God will provide the necessary funds for the final shipment.
If this is something you would like to help with or donate to, or if you would like more information on developments at the Elikya Center, shoot me a message. It's a pretty cool thing to be a part of.

Heather, my Licca 67, 1st gen repro, who is (as usual) named after a Peanuts character.
in the Peanuts TV special It's Your First Kiss, Charlie Brown (1977) the Little Red-Haired Girl was named "Heather". Schulz himself never gave the Little Red-Haired Girl a name, or showed or named her in the comics (except once in silhouette). not strictly legitimate or , but good enough for me to use the name! ;)
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. 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.
This is a pair of spruce oars being built by students in the Basic Class.
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.

From a mini-project featuring a selection of tools from far off years on my father's farm in Morayshire and which now reside in my garden hut. These hand tools could be sixty or more years old and have a 'rustic character' missing from their modern day counterparts. It's a shame I don't have access to my dad's old tool shed on the farm, as it would have made a great background with its stone walls and racks of miscellaneous tools along with gouged, wooden benches with their bolted-on vices. As a youngster, I could potter for hours on end in the farm tool shed; that was long before the days of health and safety.
The photograph was made in my home-studio and lit only by the modelling lights of my Elinchrom flash units. The sepia toning aids the feeling of antiquity.
I wanted to make a lounge or garden chair for outside. And, I'm interested in simple constructions using readily available materials and handtools.
I found images and drawings of the Crate Chair.
The Crate chair was designed by Dutch furniture designer and architect Gerrit Rietveld c1934. Early versions of the chair were made from recycled packing crate wood using standard timber dimensions, in this case 15 x 2cm stock of various lengths, and it's designed to be made by anyone. Anyone with simple skills and rudimentary tools.
The Crate Chair is similar in ethos to the Enzo Mari table I made some time ago.
I managed to cut all the elements from a cheap board from a local hardware store made of glued up timber 2m x 60 x 2 cm. - you can see it leaning on the wall behind the chair in this image. I cut it into four long planks of 14.6 cm, then cut the planks to the required lengths, mostly 45cm, before ripping some of them down to make the battens for the seat, back and arm rests. In the spirit of Rietveld's intention I ripped them in half for simplicity and to save material. I cut everything using a handsaw, planed the planks to something like the same widths and cut chamfers on the battens.

The assembly was helped enormously by the annotated drawings and construction tips of Jorn Ake
