  • A tote full of F-clamps needed to be cleared from floor. I first saw a variation of this design from @finewoodworkingmagazine. @lineschiselsandbrayers Recently did a variation on the design. Three rows hold 12 clamps each. . . . . . #woodworking #clamprack #clamps #workshop #shopfurniture
  • Clearing cabinets and racks off the floor is starting to make this feel like a real workshop. Can’t go wrong with French cleats. Now to just wire lights and power. I’m getting tired of running extension cords. . . . . . . . #workshop #frenchcleat #woodworking #lathe #woodturning #tools #toolstorage #pittsburgh #homeownership
  • Flying in or out of PIttsburgh International Airport? Stop by to check out these two pieces on display along with over one hundred other turnings produced by local artisans associated with Turners Anonymous, a Pittsburgh area woodturners group. The display cases are all in the landside terminal prior to TSA security checks so you’ve got no excuse not to stop by and check out the amazing pieces on display. . . . . . #woodworking #turning #woodturning #bowls #woodenbowls #pittsburgh #artisan #pitairport #art #artexhibition
  • Merry Christmas. This year’s ornament for the wood turning club exchange: tree in teak with a canarywood star. I still don’t have lights installed in the shop or power so this was an extension cord special. . . . . . #christmastree #woodturning #turning #lathe #christmasornaments #ornaments #handmade #gifts #tistheseason
  • Sunday plumbing. Our old faucet was shot. The handles didn’t fully shut of the water, apparently no one had had a pressure reduced installed so all fixtures were getting 120 psi. The shutoff valves were also missing handles and totally corroded. New valves, Reducer installed, and new fixture added. The bucket was needed because the trap was totally corroded and disintegrated when removed. I’ll have to replace that tomorrow when the home center reopens. . . . . . . #diy #plumbing #sinks #fixerupper #homerenovation #homerepair
  • The boarded bookcase is complete and delivered. Three shelves that are sized just right for a whole collection of photographs or books. . . . . . . . #woodworking #boardedbookcase #pine #handtools #handplane #makersgonnamake #handmade #builttolast
  • Tongue and grooved back boards with a bead on the tongue side. Adds a nice little detail to this build. . . . . . . #woodworking #handtools #handplane #pine #tongueandgroove #beadboard #furnituredesign #furniture #builttolast
  • The Stanley no 48 is always fun to use. Currently cutting the tongue and grooves for the back boards on the #boardedbookcase. The knob on the front is misleading. You need to push the fence against the workpiece with your left hand, not hold the knob. . . . . . . . #woodworking #handtools #handplane #pine #builttolast
  • This week has been a bunch of small non-home repair projects. This is a low and wide bookshelf for my mother. It’s based on the boarded bookshelf from The Anarchist’s Design Book. I’ll cut the assemble the back tomorrow. As we get down to moving day it’s starting to sink in that it’ll be awhile before I get the shop at the new house up and running. . . . . . . . . . #woodworking #boardedbookcase #pine #builttolast #realwood
