Rough couple of days in the workshop

Hi Everyone,
Well, it has been really cold here in Minnesota and Im afraid my tools have rebelled--my table saw and the band saw have both frozen up and cant be used right now. And its been so cold that Im almost freezing up myself so Im going to clean up the shop and shut down for a week or two until the weather improves a bit.

Bad news on the bowl front: the hickory bowl I made several weeks ago has cracked and is beyond repair. Im not sure if it was the cold or if the stress in the wood fibers was more than the bowl could handle but its cracked on both sides of the bowl and it cant be salvaged. Oh dear...

So Im going to take advantage of this shutdown and sharpen everything again and get ready for our next projects. Stay warm!

My first sketchup of the rocking chair cradle

I mentioned in one of my VLOGs a couple of weeks ago that I am going to make a rocking chair cradle for my brother and his wife who are expecting their first child in January. I am hoping to have it completed by Christmas.  I have finished my first draft of the project in Sketchup.  I expect to be making some design changes as I mock it up but this is what I am starting out with.  I have no idea what kind of joinery I am going to use yet or if those rocker bottoms will even work.  It should be interesting...

The Eyes of the Tiger Scroll Saw Portrait

Aqui está o meu ultimo trabalho em scroll saw, intitulado Olhar de Tigre. Inteiramente feita à mão, esta peça tem cerca de 18 horas de trabalho, desde a criação do pattern até aos cortes na madeira, da instalação do fundo negro até à manufatura da moldura, foi tudo feito por mim. A moldura é feita de pinho escurecido com betume da Judeia e com acabamento em cera de polir.
Este magnífico retrato de tigre mede 57 cm de largura por 70 cm de altura, um tamanho perfeito para um olhar ameaçador e mesmerizante!

Heres my last scroll saw piece, entitled The Eyes of the Tiger. Every piece of it was handmade by me taking me up to 18 hours in all to complete, from the creation of the pattern to cutting the design on the wood, from installing the black backing to hand making the frame, it’s all me. The frame is made of pine wood darkened with Judea bitumen and finished with polish wax.
This magnificent tiger portrait measures 57cm wide by 70cm tall, a size fit for such a menacing, mesmerizing look!



Detail of the tiger’s face where you can see how deep the cut on the wood are.
Detalhe do focinho do tigre onde se pode ver a profundidade dos cortes na madeira.


The first test, in my workshop. Now I can fully envision how it will look in the end.
O primeiro teste, na minha oficina. Assim já consigo visualizar como vai ficar no fim.



Finished cutting. This is what it looks like when I take it off the saw. Looks fragile? That’s because it is!
Terminado o corte. Este é o aspecto quando acaba de sair da serra. Parece frágil? Isso é porque é frágil!
