Fomapan 100 4x5 in Caffenol.
Shot using my 8x10 to 4x5 reducing back, which I had to modify to fit the camera.
This photo is of a traditional, European woodworking bench I built a few weeks ago from pine (nothing fancy!) using only hand tools and traditional joinery. The shavings on the workbench are from planing down the reducing back to fit the camera. I wish I made this bench years ago!
Scanned at 1600 spi. This is 10% of the original size. I need to clean the scanner glass and the film...

Tool chests, more prperly called "shoulder boxes", are a culminating project inthe Basic Boatbuilding course.
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.

This boat is a direct replica of a boat built in San Francisco in 1906 and now in the San Francisco Maritime Museum. www.nps.gov/safr/index.htm
Our version is planked in Western Red Cedar with a mahogany sheer plank and transom. White Oak frames, Yellow Cedar thwarts, spruce oars.
In this picture, the garboard planks, those closest to the keel, have been steamed onto the boat, but not yet fastened in place.
The original boat, ALDERBROOK, was owned from new by the same family. It was used on coastal Orgeon for a century. The family donated the boat to The Center For Wooden Boats in Seattle WA. www.cwb.org . The original boat remains in excellent shape.
CWB hosted a workshop, taught by the National Park Service, to teach people how to take lines from small craft electronically. The School picked this boat to document.
After documentation was complete, students in the 2011 and 2012 Traditional Small Craft classes built this direct replica of the original boat. Instructor Jack Becker (2011) and Master Boatbuilder Ray Speck (2012) led the student work.
The documentation is maintained in the Historic American Engineering Record (HAER) in the Library of Congress, and is free and available to the public. www.nps.gov/history/hdp/haer/index.htm
When documentation was complete, the original boat was donated by CWB to the San Francisco Maritime Museum where it became part of that museum's small craft collection. www.nps.gov/safr/index.htm
