This is a swivel rocker mechanism with no legs (obviously). If you attach this to the bottom of your chair, between your chair base and the legs, you will feel the difference in versatility and manoeuvrability immediately. This is a heavy duty part that will last for a long time.

This gadget can remove a light bulb from a very high ceiling. It has a telescopic pole so you can make it very long.
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.

This is a picture featuring probably the best woodworking tool I own, a Lie-Nielsen jack plane. I don't think I'm worthy of it, but I'm trying to be. I was shaving some paper thin slices off this walnut board and thought it might make a good shot. The image also features a lignum vitae mallet I turned a long time ago, and the bench I made in (you guessed it) 1994.

Like the Mack's Canyon fire of 1981, the Camp Stimpson Fire of 1983 was in the Spring Mountains outside of Las Vegas, Nevada. In this photo the crew is on the way from the main fire camp up to the fire. The long shadows on the road show that it was early morning. The hike up to the fire was long and mostly uphill. As I remember, it took us until early afternoon to reach the fire, and we didn't walk slow. Our foreman, Terry Leatherman, always lead us when we lined out, and he had a long leg. The assistant foreman, Marty Lukes, always brought up the rear. March or die Legionnaires. Stragglers will be shot. That's me immediately in front of Marty.
After fighting the fire until nearly dark, we hiked to the top of the mountain where our gear—flown up in a helicopter sling load—waited for us in a rocky spike camp that would be our home for the next week. The spike camp was so steep that we had to move rocks and scrape out body-sized hollows where we could sleep without rolling down the slope. In typical spike-camp fashion, all our food and water had to be flown up to us. Everything came in sling loads because there was no place to land a helicopter up there.
A word about gear. A member of a Hotshot crew carries two kinds of gear—a fire pack and web gear.
A fire pack is regular backpacker's pack that holds a sleeping bag, ground sheet, warm jacket, extra clothes, toiletries, and any comfort items you might carry, such as a contraband bottle of whiskey and a deck of cards. (Pinochle and, to a lesser extent, cribbage were our games.) Your fire pack must weigh no more than twenty-five pounds. Fire packs stay in camp when a crew is out on a fire, and there is a rule that if you spend a night without access to your pack, you get paid straight through the night whether you are working or not. Normally you don't have to lug your fire pack long distances, but if your crew has to walk from a spike camp to the nearest road, you can end up carrying your fire pack a lot of miles.
Web gear is the gear you carry with you when you are on the fire line. Web gear typically includes your canteens (usually four quarts of water), fire shelter, fusees, lunch, and any personal items you might need on a long shift, including a jacket in case it turns cold. I'm probably forgetting something. Typically, web gear weighs about twenty-five pounds, the same as a fire pack.
A hotshot crew also carries fire-fighting gear such as hand tools (typically Pulaskis and shovels) plus all the gear that goes with a crew's chainsaws—saws, spare parts, tools, oil, and four gallons of gas. Each hotshot crew owns and maintains its own chainsaws, hauling them from fire to fire. Typically, a hotshot crew will get Pulaskis and shovels from a supply source at a fire, though they will carry their own handtools when going out to fight small, usually local, fires.

Давайте немного пофилософствуем. Представьте, будто вы никогда не видели молоток, и вот сейчас он перед вами. Вы видите твёрдую металлическую часть странной формы с зацепками для гвоздей и ударной поверхностью. Затем вы видите длинную деревянную часть, ровную, немного больше, чем размер вашей...
“I'm not the kind to use a pencil or rule. I'm handy with love and I'm no fool. I fix broken hearts, I know that I truly can…”
Handyman: James Taylor, James Taylor Live
I discovered this song by complete random accident, when I bought James Taylor’s double disc live album for the song “Fire and Rain”. Most other songs on that album had to grow on me, but this is one that immediately stood out and said “Wow!!” to me.
I love the sound capture in the music- the Fender Stratocaster that opens the song is simply beautiful, but the real essence of the song is Taylor’s lyrics and voice. He always has such a softness to his songs and pairs well with other artists or by himself. I don’t think I could picture him pairing up with Twisted Sister or Motley Crue though…
I think what stood out for this song is that lyrically it is a great concept and story… but more than that it seems like every word of every line is perfectly placed. There isn’t a line I would re-write or say “This would have been a better phrasing.” Not that he or anyone else would even listen to my advice but the concept is the same. It all works so very well and so when I approach composing music if something doesn’t fit- I turn to a perfectionist until it feels right.
*** Artist Notes ***
My tool chest and the infamous heart used in several shots. Best $1 I ever spent!
Lyrics:
Hey girls, gather round
Listen to what I'm putting down
Whoo baby, I'm your handyman
I'm not the kind to use a pencil or rule
I'm handy with love and I'm no fool
I fix broken hearts, I know that I truly can
If your broken heart should need repair
Than I am the man to see
I whisper sweet things, you tell all your friends
They'll come runnin' to me
Here is the main thing I want to say
I'm busy 24 hours a day
I fix broken hearts, I know that I truly can
Come-a, come-a, come-a, come-a, come, come
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Come-a, come-a, come-a, come-a, come, come,
They'll come runnin' to me
Here is the main thing I want to say
I'm busy 24 hours a day
I fix broken hearts, baby I'm your handy man
Come-a, come-a, come-a, come-a, come, come
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Come-a, come-a, come-a, come-a, come, come,
They'll come runnin' to me
That's me.

An adze I forged from a railroad spike and a stool that I made, in part, with the adze.
I like to do things start to finish (I know it's impossible). If I could, I would collect the seed, plant the tree, nurture it, cut it down with an axe, mill the wood with a saw I made, carve the item with tools I made, make the stain and finish... blah blah blah. You get the picture.
This is as close as I may come. All hand carved. Legs split with froe and rounded with draw knives and spoke shaves. Seat carved with the adze and an assortment of compass planes and travishers.
BTW it's very comfortable and functional for low work. I use it every day. It gets rained on and knocked around.
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.
It's 9 PM on July 22 and we're entering Peoria, Illinois. As the sky darkens, the headlights are beginning to show on the oncoming traffic and the big rigs are looking their best.
Random Road Shots - On My Toad Again
On my toad again,
Just can't wait to be on my toad again,
Feels so good to ride my little hopping friend,
And I can't wait to be on my toad again.
On my toad again,
Hoppin' places where we've never been,
Seein' faces we may never see again
And I can't wait to be on my toad again.
On my toad again,
Hippy hopping down the highway.
We're the best of friends,
Insisting that the world keep hoppin' our way,
and our way.
On my toad again,
Just can't wait to be on my toad again,
Feels so good to ride my little hopping friend,
And I can't wait to be on my toad again.
I've cut the hole out and added a drawer frame made from scraps of pine and meranti, the next stage is making the actual drawer, I used quite chunky/heavy stock to help add more mass to the bench.
The Crosby catboat was built by the Traditional Large Craft classes of 2008 and 2009 under the direction of instructor Richard Wilmore. Student Amos Howe is seen here at work on the deck beams.
This boat was built using the construction plans contained in the Mystic Seaport book Building the Crosby Catboat by Barry Thomas. www.mysticseaport.org/index.cfm?fuseaction=shop.museumPro...
It is essentially the same boat as is the well-known catboat BRECK MARSHALL at Mystic Seaport. www.mysticseaport.org/index.cfm?fuseaction=home.viewpage&...
