    PAUL SELLERS’ WORKBENCH MEASUREMENTS AND CUTTING LIST PAUL SELLERS’ WORKBENCH MEASUREMENTS AND CUTTING LIST NOTE When putting together the cutting list for my workbench, I worked in imperial, the system with which I am most comfortable. I was not happy, however, to then provide direct conversions to metric because to be accurate and ensure an exact fit this would involve providing measurements in fractions of millimetres. When I do work in metric I find it more comfortable to work with rounded numbers, therefore I have created two slightly different sets of measurements. This means that in places the imperial measurement given is not a direct conversion of the metric measurement given. Therefore, I suggest you choose one or other of the systems and follow it throughout. © 2017 – Paul Sellers v2 PAUL SELLERS’ WORKBENCH MEASUREMENTS AND CUTTING LIST WOOD QTY DESCRIPTION SIZE (IMPERIAL) SIZE (METRIC) (THICK X WIDE X LONG) (THICK X WIDE X LONG) 4 Leg 2 ¾” x 3 ¾” x 34 ⅜” 70 x 95 x 875mm 1 Benchtop 2 ⅜” x 12” x 66” 65 x 300 x 1680mm 2 Apron 1 ⅝” x 11 ½” x 66” 40 x 290 x 1680mm 1 Wellboard 1” x 12 ½” x 66” 25 x 320 x 1680mm 4 Rail 1 ½” x 6” x 26” 40 x 150 x 654mm 2 Bearer 1 ¼” x 3 ¾” x 25” 30 x 95 x 630mm 4 Wedge ⅝” x 1 ½” x 9” 16 x 40 x 228mm 4 Wedge retainer ⅝” x 1 ½” x 4” 16 x 40 x 100mm HARDWARE QTY DESCRIPTION SIZE (IMPERIAL) SIZE (METRIC) 1 Vise 9” 225mm Dome head bolts (including nuts and washers) for 4 ⅜” x 5” 10 x 130mm bolting legs to aprons 2 Lag screws (with washers) for underside of vise ½” x 2 ½” 12 x 65mm 2 Lag screws for face

    How to Make ‘Condor Tails’ BY JAMEEL ABRAHAM An ingenious way to combine routers, a band saw and hand tools for big dovetails. know what you’re thinking: “Another opinion on how to cut I dovetails.” I hear you. But this one’s different. I promise. No back and forth over pins or tails first. No Rob Cosman vs. Frank Klausz. Well, actually a little Klausz. When I built my first serious workbench in the 1990s I practically memorized Scott Landis’ “The Work- bench Book” (Taunton) and like many woodworkers I was attracted to Frank Klausz’s beautiful bench, especially the large, crisp dovetails that joined the parts of the tail vise. Klausz told us what tools he used to cut the joints, but didn’t elaborate much on technique. I suppose with a lifetime of skill at your command, you just pick up the tools and the joint emerges. I wanted the crisp look of Klausz’s joints without waiting 20 years to develop the skill. After build- ing several large benches over the past few years, this technique emerged. Best of Both Worlds I’m a big believer in making dovetail Enormous perfection. Cutting large-scale dovetails, such as for this workbench, can be a challenge. joints that fit right off the saw. That’s a This technique makes it straightforward. skill that’s easy to learn with some prac- tice.

    Project from www.craftsmanspace.com Project: Marking gauge Page 1 of 8 Marking gauge plan On this page you can download the free woodworking plan for making a Marking gauge. The marking gauge is used for laying out lines along the grain of the wood. Marking gauges consist of two main parts, a fence (stock, head) and a stem (bar, beam). The stem carries a pointed metal spur at the end. The fence can be fixed to any position along the stem by a wedge. Marking gauge is an essential tool for basic carpentry and joinery. It is used to score a single line parallel to the face side or face edge, when planning a piece of timber to size, and for marking out rebates and simple joints. The spur is simply a nail with its head cut off and hammered into the end of the stem. The spur is used to score the surface of the wood, leaving a slight indentation line. The indentation line is sometimes not clearly visible, so you can make it more visible by using sharpened pens. The marking gauge is one of the more accurate tools for marking lines parallel to an edge. To use the gauge, first set the distance from the spur to the fence. Tighten the fence to the stem by tapping the back of the wedge with a piece of wood. Check the setting and make final adjustments by tapping either end of the stem on the bench top. To loosen the fence tap the front of the wedge. Usage: - for marking lines parallel to straight working surfaces - to provide a straight line to guide planing or sawing - to lay out mortises, tenons, etc.

The handle is usually made of wood or plastic and is connected to a metal blade with a thumbscrew or wing nut. The blade pivots and can be locked at any angle by loosening or tightening the thumbscrew. The bevel can be used to duplicate an existing angle or set to a desired angle by using it with any number of other measuring tools, such as a protractor.

The purpose of the gauge is to scribe a line parallel to a reference edge or surface. It is used in joinery. The gauge consists of a beam, a headstock, and a scribing or marking implement, typically a pin, knife or wheel. The headstock slides along the beam and is locked in place by various means: a locking screw or a wedge.

  • Dual Marking Gauge 05N70.01 Patent Pending • Ideal for Laying out Mortise and Tenon Joints
    Dual Marking Gauge 05N70.01 Patent Pending • Ideal for laying out mortise and tenon joints • Can be used as a single-cutter marking gauge • Cuts a fine line for accurate chisel positioning The Veritas® Dual Marking Gauge has two rods mounted eccentrically in the reference face. One rod has a non-rotating wheel cutter whose bevel faces the reference face (outside cutter) and the other has a non-rotating wheel cutter whose bevel faces away from it (inside cutter), allowing the gauge to be used in a wide range of applications. The hardened steel wheel cutters cut wood fi bers rather than tear them, and produce fi ne cut-lines, ideal for chisel registration. The most common use for this gauge would be as a mortise gauge for scribing both sides of a mortise. Unlike other mortise gauges, the cutters on the Veritas Dual Marking Gauge are used independently, scribing just one line at a time. As a result, this marking gauge can be used anywhere a project requires repeated marking of two dimensions. The individual wheel cutters can be completely retracted into the reference face, and the gauge can function as a single-cutter marking gauge. For most traditional uses, the outside cutter (bevel facing the reference face) would be used; however, for thicknessing a workpiece, the inside cutter (bevel facing away from the reference face) would be used. The eccentric confi guration of the rods maximizes the size of the reference surface, while maintaining the overall size of the gauge. The short side can also be used if space is restricted.

    CARPENTRY INTRODUCTION Wood is an important engineering material that is extensively used in the buildings and industries. ‘Timber’ is another name for wood, which is obtained from exogeneous trees. “Wood Working” means processing of wood by hand and machines for making articles of different shapes and sizes. It is further divided into two groups; (1) Carpentry (2) Pattern making. Carpentry is the common term used with any class of work with wood. Pattern making deals with the type and construction of wooden patterns. Steel Rule Four fold rule Flexible tape Blade Try square Stock List of Tools I. Marking and Measuring tools 1. Pencil 9.
