Shellac Tiger Flakes from Tools for Working Wood

Furnished content.


by Christopher Schwarz page 16 Because shellac is my favorite finish, I have tried nearly every brand of flakes on the market. By far, my favorite brand is the premium dewaxed flakes Tiger Flakes sold by Tools for Working Wood in Brooklyn, N.Y. Because there are no lac bugs in Brooklyn, this stuff is obviously sourced from a third party. But what makes it special is the care […]The post Shellac Tiger Flakes from Tools for Working Wood appeared first on Popular Woodworking Magazine.

Tormek T-4 Water-cooled Sharpening System

Furnished content.


by Megan Fitzpatrick page 16 Im not usually a wet grinder kind of woman, because a dry grinder does the same work faster, then I move to waterstones to polish and hone. I might be a convert, however, when it comes to tools that are difficult to grind on a dry grinder, including carving gouges and turning tools (and my kitchen knives).

A Faster Way to Assemble a Roorkee

Furnished content.


Roorkee chairs are great fun to show customers until they ask me to take it apart and put it back together for them. For the first year or so, I was pretty slow at putting them together because there are eight buckles to tighten up all while keeping the loose parts from falling down like a Jenga game. After thinking about it and working with the chairs for three […]The post A Faster Way to Assemble a Roorkee appeared first on Popular Woodworking Magazine.

The Least Popular Vise

Furnished content.
