  • The Basic Toolkit
    THE BASIC TOOLKIT There is a constant stream of members joining the Guild who are new, or relatively new, to woodworking, and who have little by way of hand tools, but are keen to get started. There are different approaches to this. Firstly there is the saying “Do not sharpen a tool until you need to use it. Do not buy a tool until you need to sharpen it.” On a more practical level, you will want a minimum of tools to get you started. Before cutting a piece of timber, you will need to mark it out. The following will start you off: ♦ A ruler for measuring, such as a 300 mm steel rule, and a tape measure — with readable scales. ♦ A marking knife and a pencil (an HB pencil sharpened to a fine point — a flat carpenter’s pencil is too coarse for fine marking, but may be useful elsewhere). ♦ A marking gauge — this will allow you to scribe a line parallel to an edge. It is not a difficult tool to make, and is a good early project. ♦ A combination square — this enables you to mark square to an edge, and at 45º. We then move on to cutting. For this I would suggest the following: ♦ A tenon saw, or similar backsaw. ♦ A bench hook — this is a simple, but useful accessory, and like the marking gauge, easy to make. ♦ A coping saw, for cutting curves. ♦ A set of four or five bevel-edged chisels. ♦ A mallet for when you need to strike a chisel. Modern chisels with plastic handles are not damaged by striking with a hammer, but a mallet has a larger striking face, reducing the risk of missing and hitting your hand! Making your own mallet would be a good project.

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.

  • For Vibraphone and Electronics Written for SPLICE Institute and Shaun Cayabyab
    Nathaniel Haering for vibraphone and electronics written for SPLICE Institute and Shaun Cayabyab Resplendent Shards Performance Notes -Accidentals do not carry through un-metered measures -If a specific duration is not shown in a free time section, the rubato pacing is completely at the discretion of the performer. -Assume feather pedaling when specific instructions are not given -Requires 4 average cord vibraphone mallets with rattan handle, a Bass Bow, and a hard mallet for pitch bending. Malletech Bob Becker BB34 suggested for pitch bending. ​ -Piece begins with 4 mallet stevens grip, transitions to holding bow in right hand and a cord medium hard rubber mallet in the 1st and 2nd positions respectively. The piece ends with a return to normal 4 mallet grip. -Arrows suggests a smooth and incredibly slow transition from one technique to another. This is used to show movement from dampened to open pedaling over the approximate space shown and to move on to and off of nodes on pitches marked with a dot inside a hollow note. When traditional pedaling is implied the notation “Ped” will be used. -Downward arrows require the performer to use the hard mallet to add density to the bar and move from the center node outward to lower the pitch -Up bow symbol alongside a staccato and accent asks that the bow be pulled quickly and viciously across the bar. At peak volume, stop with the hairs of the bow remaining in contact with the bar to instantly halt the sound. This creates a loud staccato burst with no residual resonance -Down bows suggest traditional bowing, allowing the note to resonate naturally -Notes with Plus Signs accompanying them suggest dead strokes; notes dampened upon hit with the mallet.
