Saw this new offering from Rockler, and it looks really interesting. Good price too! Shame we don’t have a Rockler-like store down under……. It is a home steam bending unit, which provides steam for up to 2 hours to a steam box you can make from the plans provided with the unit. Love one these [...]

With a bit of a shuffle, and cleanup, the workspace is looking good. The shed is tight, but having the dedicated work surface is invaluable, and is already being put to good use. The stack of Festool has been moved to a more accessible location, and again the advantage of the boom arm is apparent [...]

Fire, and tools – the things that set us apart from the beasts (not much else does it seems sometimes!) And as woodworkers, we also have the tools to separate us from the masses, and therefore having a potent source of fire is another degree of separation. And I needed a good flame! There are [...]

Was just about to have a look at Rockler’s website to see about a branding iron, and saw on their front page some more developments they have been doing with the bench cookie. Now, there is a fitting that turns the Bench Cookie (including other-branded ones such as Bench Dog) into a painter’s/finisher’s triangle. And [...]

Not much to show, or rather there is, but I want to do a big cleanup before doing the final reveal. All the trunking in the main shed is complete, with all the machines I intended to connect into the 4″ collection system done, with blast gates isolating any machine not in use so there [...]

When I saw the kit for the new Carbatec dust collection system (and the clear tube setup), it wasn’t going to be long before I was fitting it to the shed. And the timing is rather appropriate – the system needed a revamp with the various item moves that have been happening. A dust system [...]

With the upcoming Carbatec pen demo (31 July), I have been giving some thought to the whole pen-turning process, and just what equipment I use these days when making a pen. Before I start (and you may have already glanced ahead at the collection of photos), remember that pen turning is a good beginner exercise, [...]

So I guess some of you would be curious what I got from Rockler! The storage rack was unlikely to be available in time, but there they were, so that is what came home, including enough cookies to fill it. I did end up getting the handle, and the Besty Ross Pen Kit The V120 [...]

Bit of a random assortment of things I saw at Rockler, Denver. First thing is some of the construction happening from one of the courses. This box has something a lot more significant to it than the construction. The timber is something special, but in a sad sort of way. Due to a number of [...]
