Based loosely on a plan from Lee Valley. Completed in 2004.
The apron - front board - was a happy accident. I'd bought more hard maple slabs than I needed (by double) so I let the front and back boards hang. Great for clamping long boards. It also extended about a foot to the left of the face vise - and I've left it that way. Also useful for holding work.
So i had obtained enough M1.2 setscrews for the rangefinder dial of my Agfa Isolette III. Only problem, they were too long !
They were 4mm long while i needed only 3mm of length. About 1mm had to be cut off with a Dremel tool.
But how to handle such a tiny setscrew during that job ? Fingers are too thick and tweezers have not enough grip.
Here is my answer. I took a mechanical pencil (for 0,5mm lead refills), removed the cap and enlarged the hole in the clamping jaw with a 1mm drill. Next just opened the jaws and inserted the setscrew. A perfect handtool !

Instant Tool Collection!
Actually, there are 5 Stone worker's chisels in this funky old tool set. Chisel number 6 is a Woodworking chisel and number 3 is a boat-builder's caulking chisel. (This one also happens to be the most valuable chisel in the bunch.)
These old tools have been loved pretty darn hard and will all need to be reground and sharpened if you plan to use them for stonework. The pictures will tell you more than I can, so please take a look.
Of course you don't have to do anything at all if you plan to display them. This lot of seven funky tools make an awesome instant collection!
After cutting and limbing my bench log, i left a dragging limb on there. kristen dragged it back to my work space which was next to our camp site.

Handmade dresser in Cherry.
Today I finished up chiseling the dovetails down and am working on the fitting into the slots. Need to do the interior side guides and center rail on top of the interior dust panels next.
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 name "Rogue Automotive" is synonymous with some of the most off-the-wall high-performance cars in the western hemisphere. From estate cars with vertical doors, wedged-shaped offroaders, to even what can only be described as a formula one car with indicators, everything in Rogue's lineup has its own distinct-yet-familiar flavor of insanity. Helping with that insanity further is the fact that its rather difficult to find a Rogue model that *doesn't* have a horsepower number breaking 4 figures. All this crazy is probably why it didn't take Rogue long to garner world-class prestige and a following that allowed it to build more vehicles outside of super-limited bespoke hypercars like the Firepower GT that started it all. The thing is; however, the Firepower GT isn't actually where it all begins. It doesn't even start with Rogue Automotive which is only one piece of a corporate empire. That empire being the industrial juggernaut that is Rogue Industries.
Turn the clock back even further to the 1950s, and you'll find a humble manufacturer by the name of Prairie State Manufacturing. Born in the outskirts of Chicago, Prairie State Manufacturing would rebrand itself into Rogue Industries in the 1980s after decades of building itself up as a serious player in the heavy equipment manufacturing sector. From tractors, dump trucks and road graders, to turbines and marine powerplants, even defense products like APCs and minesweepers, the sight of the snarling wolf on Rogue's logo is a common sight anywhere some heavy metal is needed. It even doesn't end there, as Rogue also has branches for electronics and handtools. By the early 2000s, Rogue took another leap that would further extend their reach into the industrial sector by producing on-road trucks. The first one Rogue made, the RHT1011, was a class 8 vocational commercial truck. A large, far cry from the kind of machines Rogue would eventually produce, but one can see the sort of "domino effect" Rogue would put on themselves by building a machine that could be driving on public roads. Rogue would build more commercial trucks that would noticeably get smaller and smaller until something truly unexpected happened in 2028. The trademark for "Rogue Automotive" was filed, and shortly after Rogue announced their intention of getting into the wider automotive industry with a new pickup truck platform. A mass-produced utility automobile made by Rogue, a company known for making robust and dependable machines, was understandably met with great anticipation. And that anticipation only reached a fever pitch when that truck was finally unveiled.
Rogue called the truck the "Koshuké", which is word for bison in the Potawatomi language. The Potawatomi are a Native American tribe of the Great Plaines region, of with Rogue Industries calls home. The Potawatomi are known for their "Seven Grandfather Teachings", one of which is "Honesty". Rogue designed the Koshuké with that teaching in mind from the start. The Koshuké was designed first a foremost to be a worker's truck with no unnecessary thrills that would complicate it. While it is meant to be sold to a general customer base, the standard variation of the Koshuké is set up to really be a fleet vehicle: regular cab, long bed, few luxuries, and an interior you can clean out with a garden hose and hand mop. Being a worktruck it won't exactly be setting any speed records but it is surprisingly spry. The Koshuké comes standard with a hybrid powertrain; a 2.4L turbocharged 4 cylinder combined with an electric motor. The combustion engine drives the rear wheels while the electric motor goes to
the front, giving the Koshuké 4WD. For long highway drives the combustion engine can be disengaged so that the Koshuké can be full-electric. With both systems together, the Koshuké produces over 300 HP. Power like this makes it quicker than expected. 0-60 comes in at just over 6 seconds, and top speed is limited to 120 MPH. Not bad for something so utilitarian, but high-speed performance is clearly not what the Koshuké is for. As stated before, it was designed first and foremost to be a workhorse, and that's a role it plays well.
Rogue's experience in making industrial machines means plenty of experience designing strong and robust platforms. That hybrid powertrain the Koshuké has may only have 310 HP, but where is shines is the torque figure. Thanks to its electric component putting in a fair share of work, the Koshuké has up to 570 ft/Ibs at its disposal. This beefy torque figure gives the Koshuké an impressive towing capacity of up to 14,000 Ibs. If you're not towing anything and only hauling stuff in the rear bed, you'll still be impressed with what the Koshuké has to offer. The 7 ft bed offers plenty of storage space, which can carry up to 3,000 Ibs. With 12 total tie-down points you can also be sure whatever you load in the back will be tightly secured. 2 different electrical outlets also means you can utilized the Koshuké to power tools and other machinery, or even act as a generator in more taxing situations. 9 inches of ground clearance means the Koshuké won't have much trouble hauling your cargo over more difficult terrain, though the standard Koshuké won't exactly be running in the Dakar rally anytime soon. A full 360 degree camera system comes standard to help the driver in tight areas, and blind zone alerts make sure you don't hit anything while making maneuvers when towing. While the Koshuké is advertised as being low thrills, the ones it comes with are the ones a working man would likely want, and don't detract from its very respectable capabilities for its class.
When the Koshuké first appeared in 2031, it had alot going against it despite the positive reception from the mere fact that Rogue was building a pickup. Competing marques like fellow American brands Thunderhead and Nomad, and even Japanese automaker Yamato made the pickup market hard to break into. The Koshuké, however, filled a niche for a basic, affordable truck that was very dependable thanks to Rogue's experience in building the toughest work machines around. It wasn't too long until the Koshuké was a central figure in the pickup truck market, but that's not what makes it so important. Rogue Automotive is quite possibly the biggest name in high-performance automobiles in the western hemisphere, and certainly one of the biggest in the world. Their supercars are some of the best on the market, but those supercars would've never existed if it wasn't for the Koshuké practically paying for their development. Rogue's current legacy was more or less built on the back of this humble truck, and that's likely why despite Rogue's lineup mainly consisting of high-performance machines, the Koshuké can still be found amongst them nearly 30 years after its debut. Obviously updated over the years and with much more variants, but still the same honest workhorse at its heart.
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.

My Shaker Style Weather Station, completed and hung on the wall of my workshop, finished with 5 layers of de-waxed shellac, then a layer of clear wax.
Briwax Danish Oil is a blend of oils and resins, which seals, feeds, and finishes a wide variety of woods, without leaving a surface film that can be chipped or scratched.
Directions: To achieve a good finish, ensure that wood is dry and free from contaminants such as grease and wax. Lightly sand with a good quality sandpaper. Apply liberally with a clean, dry rag or brush. On new wood, two or three coats will be necessary. Allow four to eight hours drying time depending on temperature and conditions. Danish Oil can be overcoated with Briwax for a softer sheen. Clean brushes with mineral spirits. 16 oz.
These 2 tire irons were standard issue tools sold with every Ford Model A automobile ever manufactured. Both irons are 10" long and were made to be used together to remove and install the slender Model A balloon tires.
The tire spoon with the square cutout on the end for adjusting the braking system is clearly marked "FORD A." The flat iron is unmarked for some reason. The Marked iron was manufactured for The Ford Motor Company by The K. R. Wilson Company. These two have been together for a very long time stored in a crumbling to bits (and really dirty) cotton bag, which I've passed along to the compost pile.
If you're lucky enough to own a Ford Model A and are looking for the basic tools, these two are a good start.
