The pad foot is sometimes referred to as a Dutch foot or spoon foot. The slipper foot, which was popular in the Queen Anne period, is aesthetically spare and a very elegant solution to the cabriole leg.

I refer to its three divided or cleft elements as toes be- cause the other name for the trifid is a Drake’s foot, suggesting that it resembles a duck’s three toes.

Use a chisel and rasp to cut the chamfers and then to create narrower chamfers. Work carefully near the skew line, and when there is very little wood above it, use a chisel to pare to the line. Once the shape is fair in all directions, file away the rasp marks.

  • 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.

    Welcome to the Woodworking Glossary, a comprehensive list of woodworking terms and their definitions that will help you understand more about woodworking. Each word has a complete definition, and several have links to other pages that further explain the term. Enjoy. Woodworking Glossary A | B | C | D | E | F | G | H | I | J | K | L | M | N | O | P | Q | R | S | T | U | V | W | X | Y | Z | #'s | A | A-Frame This is a common and strong building and construction shape where you place two side pieces in the orientation of the legs of a letter "A" shape, and then cross brace the middle. This is useful on project ends, and bases where strength is needed. Abrasive Abrasive is a term use to describe sandpaper typically. This is a material that grinds or abrades material, most commonly wood, to change the surface texture. Using Abrasive papers means using sandpaper in most cases, and you can use it on wood, or on a finish in between coats or for leveling. Absolute Humidity The absolute humidity of the air is a measurement of the amount of water that is in the air. This is without regard to the temperature, and is a measure of how much water vapor is being held in the surrounding air. Acetone Acetone is a solvent that you can use to clean parts, or remove grease. Acetone is useful for removing and cutting grease on a wooden bench top that has become contaminated with oil.

  • PLYWOOD MALLET.Pdf
    PLYWOOD MALLET Slick method of making a mallet - never need to worry about the handle loosening. See my earlier post re ergonomic parameters, apparently you should determine the bevel angle on the striking face based on mallet handle length and the length of your arm from elbow to wrist. Who knew. With three layers of 3/4" plywood, it's 2-1/4" wide, maybe just add a 1/2" layer on each side if you need something a little beefier - or maybe build in a cavity and fill it with lead shot?. The handle winds up only 3/4" thick, thinking that maybe an additional 1/4" layer on either side would let you get a little more rounded profile to the grip area - easy enough to do though (maybe make patterns to use on the router table) and Baltic Birch plywood would be the way to go. Mallet Head Angle By swirt on March 30, 2011 at 6:30 am in techniques, tools I’ve seen this issue come up and get discussed on several forums. A joiners mallet is pretty simple to make, so it is a quick and satisfying shop project to get one constructed, but then the question arises, “what angle should be put on the head?” This is an important question with advice ranging from “we don’t need no stinking angle” to use the angle that allows it to sit flat on a bench. I discovered the answer to this question in a few old Timber Framing books. It makes sense that a Timber Framer would have the answer, as they do more chiseling than most woodworkers, and certainly heavier chiseling than all.
