I just keep the roller in a medium size zip lock bag and it doesn't dry out. It's just one of the cheap trim rollers for paint.
Wonder if i can claim my bench top as one big edge grain chopping board :)

Have you still got teeth?
In our discussion the subject of knife making from vehicle leaf springs came up. this was because Lance's daughter has been engaging in this (what a wonderful daughter). I think she should post some results.
I have advocated leaf springs for some time as a very accessible source of cutting material providing you have access to equipment to heat treat. I have made chisels, froes and plane blades, but never knives except for one.
Some while back I made up a grafting knife in the Japanese style. I say style, because the blade is a lot thicker than the examples I have seen from that country. It has a single bevel.
Attachment 494847Attachment 494848Attachment 494849Attachment 494850Attachment 494851
I could describe it as one careful lady owner as I made it for SWMBO. To my knowledge it has never been used. Grafting of plant material is a skilled and delicate operation. I can only conclude she is not into hard graft. :rolleyes:
The scuffs are the result of being thrown into a drawer with the secateurs and various other miscellanea.

Paul
Great looking knife Paul.Quote:

I was supposed to be in NSW for the weekend, with my Veterans' support knife-making group, but seeing as how that is more than five km from home, I wasn't able to go.
Consequently, I might be on the zoom meeting - possibly. But I guess I will have to wear a mask if I do.
Why is it always Victoria?
Oh crap that was this weekend.... sorry to hear you didn't escape in time, hope to see you tomorrow, i'll even wear a mask just in caseQuote:

I talked about the mallets I made for my Veterans' group and the provenance of the timber used.
I mentioned that they were loosely based on a Paul Sellers design. Here's a link to the first of the three videos on how he makes them. I scaled mine down somewhat because I used heavy timber so I didn't need the size he did.

Only Paul Sellers could make an hour and forty minutes of video out of such a simple project, but he does not miss a single detail.

Todays topic about jigs was largely stuck to once we agreed that a jig could also be a template :)
I showed of a draw slide spacing jigs i printed up specifically for the 5 draw cabinets under the new bench, all draw spacing is set in 100mm units.
These provide an easy way clamp the slide in place as well.
Consider the benchtop as the vertical side of the cabinet
Attachment 495483 Attachment 495484
The white ones were designed based on the Goliath slides from Bunnings that are 45.4 wide, the bulk lot i got from ebay are just a little narrower at 43.6 so new set is being printed:)
Speaking of the cheaper versions... I ended up paying @11 per pair, they seem just as smooth as the Bunnings ones, have the number and style of ball bearings but definitely had a slightly oily feel when unwrapped so may be slightly better lubed.
Due to the "free" shipping the seller has shipped in multiple deliveries, so i got 10 pairs today with 10 pairs to come and no screws yet so before i link a source lets see how it pans out. they did message that they would be doing that.
Cheers
Phil
GAH! So sorry for missing today. I was in the shed, but forgot to set an alarm. I remembered at 12:46. In the off chance that you ran late I hoped on, but too late.
I expect to be hiking next week, so may see you the week after.
I might still see you next week Lance, lots of people have been telling me I should take a hike too :wink:Quote:

Busy day - If I make it I make it.
I should be there. We have had a lot of wet wood last week. 5 inches or rain one night. Hundreds of trees down around here.
Hi Friday Prattlers.
This is the book I was talking about.
It really is an interesting read.
Attachment 496224Attachment 496225
The Genius of Japanese Carpentry - secrets of an ancient craft
Azby Brown
isbn 978-4-8053-1276-6
I have never done anything that I would call "Japanese Carpentry" but it is amazing how often I find myself considering information I got from this book in my projects. It's fairly rare but a google search will find copies for sale.
Wow another week has passed us by, and with the winter solstice past on the way back to summer :)

Sorry I can't make it as I have a Drs. appointment at 11:30. Could someone mention chainsaws for me.
My pleasure, but it will be a battery powered one :) Hope all is well.Quote:
