Timberframe Mobile Toolchest

Furnished content.
(from Lumberjocks.com)


My brother in law was considering building a small shed in the side of his sloped acre in Alaska. I had enough spare tools that I decided to make him a timbrerframe tool chest in case he wanted to go a more old timey route on the build.It is poplar, about 24×16 x 14. I made a mechanism that will allow it to be a stool to sit on, or the post can be retracted and dragged along across the field on the two back wheels. Even the handle is adjustable between the two – short for carrying, long for dragging. Inside is semi-fitted for the tools I sent. Not perfect, but they will do. I mounted the holders with a tapered dovetail, then screwed them to the walls. Other tools are held with 2 sided velcro. That way he can rearrange if things change in his tool collection. This also includes the grease box I posted previously and the Japanese style small parts box. I added cleats to it, then had to add a stabilizer to keep it from tipping, (since the cleats didn't reach the center of mass).I made spots for the following tools: 2 Slick / 3 Framing Chisels / Combo Square / Ryoba saws / No 5 1/4 / Low Angle Block / Bevel Gauge / [Tape Measure] / Impact Gloves / Chalkline / Plumb Bob / Deadblow / Drawknife / Brace and bits / Marking tools, pencils, crayon / [Utility Knife]By the way, shipping something this big to AK is not cheap. :)

Wild Cherry Gall Bowl #2

(from Lumberjocks.com)


In between playing nurse to my daughter who has Covid (overall, just feels crappy) I was able to get out to my burl/gall supply. Most of them were cut up and, even though this one had been cut for a clock face, I still thought there was enough left to attempt a bowl.Same process as before… ground out the bowl, ground off the bark, sanded and finished with wipe-on poly.No ants in this one!I'm happy with how this turned out.

Curly walnut with curly maple and mahogany inlay. Had enough walnut pieces from other projects to throw this little mission style end table together.

Turning Tune-up

Furnished content.
(from Popularwoodworking.com)


I can't stand throwing away good wood. When I'm turning a goblet or any other object, I don't leave the waste areas blank. I pick up a gouge or a skew and use the waste to perfect my turning techniques. …Source
