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 skills and crafts of fine wooden boatbuilding and other traditional maritime crafts.

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 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.
Upholstery Fabric! At our Brandt and Whitney, Inc location alone, we have in stock about 1000 bolts of fabric, as well as samples and sample books from many different companies. In our Denver location, we also have about 100 bolts of fabric to choose from. This is the type of fabric that you would use to put on a chair, and it ranges in color anywhere from green, red, blue, black, and purple to yellow, brown, tan, white, and cream. The type of fabric ranges anywhere from leather, vinyl, microfiber, mohair, tapestries, etc.
Ancient axes & adzes date back to 8000BC when reindeer antlers were sharpened to form a cutting edge. Later on the stump end was hollowed out to hold a piece of hard stone or flint. Antler and wooden handled combination axes first appeared about 6000BC.
Copper and Bronze axes and adzes developed after 3000BC in the Middle East. Iron axes similar in shape and size to the form we know today, developed sometime between 500-200BC. During the Middle Ages, axes & adzes were developed into many different shapes and forms and shapes.
It was not until the Eighteenth Century that advancements made in saw design finally led to a slow decrease in axe use, although some estimate there are some 45 different types of axes used for various trades, including coopering, boat building and logging.
Nowadays, Northern Tool features axes as part of its lineup of logging accessories, that includes a 12-lb. all-steel Truper Axe for splitting logs, a general purpose double bit Roughneck Axe and an all-purpose 2-lb. Camp Axe. The humble axe remains one man's most versatile hands tools that have bested the test of time.
Huge Pair Of Forged and Handcrafted Carpet Scissors/ Rug Sheers.
Napping sheers were designed to trim the very tips of the yarns on a newly handmade rug, creating a velvety smooth surface on the finished product.
This wonderful and rare antique iron hand tool measures 12.5" long. The cast iron fitted handle has a 3" inside diameter, so these were designed for a person with an average to small size hand to use and they are very comfortable to hold and to operate. I wouldn't be bit surprised if these were custom made for their original user. The blades are forged steel.
These wonderful old handmade carpet shears are tight and sharp and in amazing condition for their age. No nicks or chips on the blades at all. Clearly these were some artisan's most prized possession. Whoever owned these kept them for single use only; safe and in perfect working condition.
There's some very light surface rust on this beautiful set of napping shears, as they were carelessly stored in an unheated space for several years. (Their former owner would be spinning in his grave if he knew!) A quick cleanup and these old iron beauties and they're as good as new once more.

Notes on the finish:
Four coats of Hope's 100% Tung Oil, first coat was a 50/50 mix with mineral spirits. Done over the span of three days.
Let dry for 36 hours and then work with 0000 steel wool.
Pad on a thick coat of clear shellac and let dry 12 hours.
Sand smooth with 400 grit sandpaper and then the steel wool.
Twice pad on thin layers of shellac. Did this with two bowls, one with shellac and the other with alcohol and a cotton cloth folded over a few times. Get the cloth wet with alcohol and then dip in shellac and brush/fly over the wood to apply. As needed, dip in alcohol and use to smooth out the now tacky shellac.
Let dry 12 hours and work with steel wool until as smooth as I can get it.
Then buff with paste wax to leave it with this wonderful shiny wet look.
Let dry another 36 hours.
Wrap and give to sweetie while drinking beer and eating oysters.

I found this wrench in the town of Crewe, Virginia where it had been used in the repair & maintenence shops of the Norfolk & Western Railway for many, many years. I can only imagine the hands that have touched its wooden handle or adjusted the screw mechanism on the side for just the right fit on those beautiful machines that once pulled the trains along this premier line in the days of steam. Running my fingers across its pitted surface is like touching the Golden Age of Ameican railroading... it connects me with things that I am too young to remember, but somehow know.
Please see the "Hand Tools" Set for notes on this shoot.
This is a pneumatic nail gun, but it's not just any pneumatic nail gun. It's a nail gun specifically designed for use on decorative nails (also known as decorative tacks, nail head, brads, upholstery nails, etc). It comes with many different tips of many different shapes and sizes so that it can fit almost any (normal) nail head. Also, the tip is specifically designed to not damage the heads of the nails! This gun is great for quickly tacking in nails on your furniture (or artwork, as some of our customers use our nails for).

Back in the day when I first got my hands on spanners I'd get an instruction off my old man along the lines of "ok, now tighten those up". My immediate question of course was "how tight?", and that's not an easy question to answer.
There's a host of terms that people use, including 'hand tight', 'finger tight' and all of them are meaningless except to people who have been doing bolts up for years.
I don't like working with uncertainties, but over time I've grown accustomed to the notion that if they don't say how tight it needs to be then it doesn't really matter TOO much.
Some of the bolts I've taken off the motorbike though do have specific information about how tight they need to be, and so that's why I'm using one of these - a torque wrench. This device lets you specify a specific torque to make sure you get the right tightness.
Back in the glorious eighties you only ever saw torque wrenches coming out for cylinder head bolts, but here I've used the specified torque for those where it's identified, including the shock absorber mounting bolts, rear wheel spindle bolts, swinging arm spindle bolts and a few others. Interestingly the top shock bolts are tighter than the bottom ones.
I remember talking to someone in the aeronautical game who said that everything, every single nut, bolt and screw in a plane has a torque specification whether it's the ones holding the engines in place or the screws holding the cupholders to the dashboard. That's just one of the reasons why they are so safe and servicing is so expensive!

U.S. Army Soldiers, assigned to 23rd Brigade Engineer Battalion, 1-2 Stryker Brigade Combat Team, complete initial tactical training with civilian firefighters working with the U.S. Forest Service in the Umpqua National Forest, Umpqua North Complex, Oregon, September 8, 2017. The Soldiers learned how to construct a fireline, which is made using hand tools to cut, scrape or dig in order to remove brush and debris that might fuel the spread of the fire.

The Grandy Boat Company was formerly located on Lake Union in Seattle, and made many hundreds of boats both large and small during a long tenure there from the early 1920's to 1967. These small craft are one of our most popular boats.
Here's a good web page about the company and it's boats: home.comcast.net/~btse1/grandy/grandymainpage.htm
We build these boats to lines and documentation taken by our Chief Instructor, Tim Lee, from an original boat owned by The Center For Wooden Boats www.cwb.org in Seattle WA.
The Grandy's we build are usually between 11.5 and 14.5 feet long. They're lapstrake planked in western red cedar, with sapele stems, keels and transoms. Frames are White Oak or Black Locust.

This is a decorative nail head, aka upholstery tack, decorative nail head, concho, decorative tack, brad, button, decorative nail trim, tack trimming, etc. These are regularly seen lining the edge of couches, chairs, lounges, ottomans, tables, etc. Decorative Nail Heads give your furniture that extra something. They just make it seem less plain. Furniture isn't the only place they can be used though. Most of our customers don't use them for furniture at all, in fact. They're artists, or designers, so they decorate their walls, arts and crafts projects, knives, bars, their artwork, mirrors, purses, and much, much more. You can find MANY different ways to use these. Interesting little gizmos in your every day life. See what you can find to do with them, and ADVERTISERS!, if you would like, we'll even advertise for you on our website. Take a look at www.furniturerestorationtoolsandsupplies.com. Right on the front page, we show anyone who visits our website what can be done with the decorative nail heads, and we're always looking for more, interesting ways of using them. Send pictures and your information to: sam@BrandtandWhitney.com, and we'll put them up on our website.
This particular nail head is called the 22H, and despite there only being one nail in the picture, it actually comes in two different finishes: Black Nickel (as shown), and oxidized.

Doesnt come through well in the photo but the only flat surface on this bench is the bottom of the legs. All other surfaces and edges have gentle curves and contours. Did it all with handtools just for fun. The outside is smooth and the inside has texture, wonderful to feel. Made from Port Orford Cedar.
