When the scythe blades has their leather sheaths, Why not make one to the small cutter as well.

An odd creation

An axe in a smaller size and style of an firemans axe. Made new side pieces in birch for the handle and a leather sheath.

I dont know my plan behind the sheath but it got quite crazy. Im most satisfied with the fit, and that the "heel" for the axe edge and the rivet in the back helps to secure it in the sheath. It didnt need anything more then that ⚒️

Bandsaw Restoration Part 1; Collection and assessment.

A bandsaw is one of the essential tools to have, ideally an old cast iron model that can be restored. After all, that is what I enjoy much. Thanks to a local bidding site I managed to grab hold of an old, but heavily modified band saw on the cheap. Through it came with the biggest issue of how to move about 300 kilo's of heavy metal across half the country while playing heavy metal. I got access to a van that has been transporting more tools (some of these coming up in future blog posts) and ren

The haft is done! Still need to dot the eye and sharpen things up,

I use this old hatchet to split kindling. This was left at my house by one of the many previous tenants. As you can see in the photo, the haft is toast and the head loose. There was dry rot and missing material in the part of the haft seated in the head's socket. I am making a new haft from black walnut. I will clean up the axe head, sharpen it, and may even slightly modify the shape. I love giving old tools a facelift! #toolrestoration #handtools #woodworkingproject #woodworking

More sanding, more painting. Cue the appropriate Rolling Stones song.

On August 15th, we started the restoration of our approximately 100-year-old spirit level. That day, we successfully removed the brass cover. Today, we carefully extracted the glass vial, which, as you can see in the pictures, was held in place by gypsum. We then cleaned the vial before moving on to the wooden part. The wood was first cleaned with soapy water to remove the most stubborn dirt, like emulsion paint. Finally, we used sanding pads to rub away the old grime from the wood.

Am 15. August haben wir mit der Restaurierung unserer rund 100 Jahre alten Wasserwaage begonnen. An diesem Tag haben wir es geschafft, den Messingdeckel zu entfernen. Heute haben wir den Glaskörper vorsichtig herausgenommen, der, wie ihr auf den Bildern sehen könnt, von Gips gehalten wurde. Danach haben wir die Libelle gereinigt und uns dann dem Holzteil gewidmet. Das Holz wurde zunächst mit Seifenlauge von den gröbsten Verschmutzungen, wie Dispersionfarbe, befreit. Anschließend haben wir mit Schleifmatten den alten Schmutz vom Holz weggerieben.

Wood Turning lathe (5) - Pulley troubles

So getting an Pulley that is the required dimensions is hard. The current pulley is 40/60/80mm with a bore of 16 mm. However the 3 step pulley gives a too course of a control and together with an price of 200 euros for a new set of pulleys, its time to design our own. This post is going to be a long one filled with some technical details about designing a pulley, making the tools required for the job,and the machining process. DesignSo we want an 5 step pulley but we have limited space. The oute
