  • Paul Sellers' Workbench Measurements and Cutting
    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

  • ADB Staked Armchair
    STAKED ARMCHAIR Chapter 2 Armbows are diff icult creatures. here’s something about building an armchair that tips the mental scales for many woodworkers. Making a stool is easy – it’s a board withT legs. OK, now take your stool and add a backrest to it. Congrats – you’ve made a backstool or perhaps a side chair. But once you add arms to that backstool you have committed a serious act of geometry. You’ve made an armchair, and that is hard-core angle business. Yes, armchairs are a little more complicated to build than stools or side chairs. But the geometry for the arms works the same way as it does for the legs or the spindles for the backrest. There are sightlines and re- sultant angles (if you need them). In fact, I would argue that adding arms to a chair simplifies the geometry because you have two points – the arm and the seat – to use to gauge the angle of your drill bit. When you drill legs, for example, you are alone in space. OK, I’m getting ahead of myself here. The key point is that arms are no big deal. So let’s talk about arms and how they should touch your back and your (surprise) arms. Staked Armchair all sticks are on 2-3/4" centers 2-3/4" 4-1/2" 3-1/2" 65° 38° 2-1/2" 2-1/2" CHAPTER II 27 Here. This is where I like the back of the armbow to go. Its inside edge lines up with the outside edge of the seat.

The bed angle of the Smith plane is 46º, and the iron is skewed at 32º. Combined, these improve the quality of cut without changing the tool’s cutting angle – which is what happens if you skew Gauges & guides. It’s best to make each of these gauges before you start your plane build. In the long run, they save you time and keep you on track. Shaping tools. The tools required to build this plane are few, but a couple of them – the firmer chisel and floats – are modified to fit this design.

Note the angle – we generally set rake for a rip filing somewhere between The saw 0° to 8°. Establish rake closer to zero for aggressive ripping in softwoods, and closer to 10° for dense hardwoods. Crosscut filings generally mandate 15° to 20°. Hybrid-filing finds the sweet spot at 10°. Bevel (aka ‘fleam’) doctor Bevel indicates whether you desire to knife the cutting edge of a sawtooth. Little to no bevel (between 0° and 8°), is best suited for rip filings. Again, the rule here is select closer to 0° for ripping softwoods, and gravitate closer to 8° for ripping hardwoods. will see I usually find that 5° for dedicated rip either way delivers a crisp, assertive action, and mitigates tear-out on the far side of the cut.
