Assembled ones: About a group noun, James wrote "It is, and has always been, "The assembled Galooterati."" Indeed, someone can search the archives, but from Digest 20 or so onward to a year or so ago, I recall most Galoots started their message with either a simple "Galoots:" or "Assembled ones", or just "Assembled". I vote for using the the ancient and honorable, simple version - "Assembled". It should drive other tool folks nuts. Oh and speaking of nuts, if Tony thinks it is hot in Pennsylatucky, then I truly live in the Florida mountains! *********************************************** * Karl W.

One man's interesting interpretation: http://www.mountainsofflorida.com When we saw his work on display in Cocoa Beach, Judy had to have one. I've still got to frame it. She's soooo patient with me ;-) Gary ______________________________________________________________ |

To properly frame a picture, you've got to find a blade, make a skewed shooting plane (probably after researching plane making, and making a coupla' easier practice planes e.g. scrub, jack), make a mitre jack http://www.cornishworkshop.co.uk/wwmitrejack.html Decide on yer' moulding shape, make a scratch stock and cutter http://www.geocities.com/plybench/scratch.html (come on! making a moulding plane would be ridiculous!), make a sticking board, generate your stock, and then make a frame. Sounds like anything under 3 years would be nothing short of heroic :-) BugBear ______________________________________________________________ |

Paul, First, let me apologize for being such a slow responder. I ought to spend less time lurking when there's a reply to be made but that desire to learn more most often overcomes. Second, let me say thanks for NOT top-posting; it's a disgusting habit that ought to cost Microsoft a penalty each time an e-mail goes out that way! > > When we saw his work on display in Cocoa Beach, Judy had to have one.

Living in Florida and being fortunate enough to have a dedicated shop rather than using the garage has resulted in many compromises. I definitely consider myself a GIT, as my hand-cut DTs are still not w/o reproach and the number of tools I've built is very limited. However, I claim, as my exc use, the need to complete said shop w/ all manner of hand & tailed apprentices so that I can seal out the weather and protect those finer hand-tools from rust. You see, I've been building the workshop for several years now and only recently replaced most of the visquene windows w/ plexiglass, and yesterday hung a pair of doors to replace the tarpauline that'd been one of the entra nces. As my out-of-date web-site illustrates, many of my projects were done w/ electron burners. However, as the big responsibilities near completion and I enclose the remaining open portions of the shop, I see more and more hand work in the offing. I think the mitre jack is one of the next two hand-tools to make. Cheers, Gary http://user.gru.net/garyg-1/woodwork/woodwork.html ______________________________________________________________ |
