@eirbyte I have shop envy too! Wasn't mine, community shop at a college for students. Unfortunately no access to it anymore.
@karlnelson Here the flier from last year. It's always about the same time. They advertise it just with alumni and their FB page but anyone is welcome.
@karlnelson Yes, I think that's one of two that unusually show up.
@karlnelson Not sure where you're located but there's an antique tool club in Seattle where members typically sell their duplicates at the Wooden Tech Centers annual tool swap. Fully restored one and ones that need love. It's part of Seattle Central College. Found some great stuff there when I was in Seattle.
@karlnelson That's awesome.
@karlnelson Nicely done! :)
@karlnelson Awesome tool. Also check out antique Stanley Bailey Planes from about 1920's and earlier. You can sometimes find great deal and the tool steel in these are great! Plus is you find them they're used and no tariffs! :) I have a number of them I've collected over the years and enjoy my 1900-1920 made Baileys the best.
I prefer when laminating is to oversize the pieces your joining to the perfect one. Once they're joined and solid I hit it with the router and perfect!
Place a bit of silica or something gritty on epoxy surfaces. Clamping the grit imbeds itself into the surfaces limiting the movement or none at all.
V-block jig but can be cumbersome depending on what you're doing. Easier if you have a clamp bench.
I do prefer the router meathod the best whenever possible though.
Singing Raven CeramicsI have been very much influenced recently by several potters I met early on when I first started pottery more than 10 years ago. For a long while I was working on throwing and trimming super thin vessels with perfectly circular feet, and striving for perfection, inspired by Yoshi Fuji and his truly stunning work, by my first (and favorite,) professor, Michelle Coakes, and her beautiful, simple and quirky pieces so filled with personality. But over the years I kept coming back to Linda Christensen, and her funny, beautiful, imperfect work that wasn’t flawless but just kind of worked and felt nice when you use it. In all honesty I wasn’t sure if I liked them or not the first time I saw them, but they have STUCK in my brain like a burr. Very recently, I abandoned my pursuit of perfection and decided a few months back that the perfection I was seeking was just making a really, REALLY nice coffee mug. The one that becomes your favorite, and you can’t figure out why, the one you reach for and are bummed when you realize it’s in the dishwasher. The one you drink a slow morning coffee, tea or cocoa out of on the weekends. I’m still working on my perfectionist tendencies, (an untrimmed foot?! NO.) but I really love the direction I’m heading in now because it feels the most like “Me” here’s to growth in 2025 🍻
