  • Practical Stanley1.4.Indd
    SHOP PLANE AND SIMPLE There’s just nothing better than finding a bargain tool at a flea market or antique mall – unless it’s restoring that old piece of iron to perfect working condition. Using the classic Stanley No. 4 bench plane as an example, here are some easy steps to plane restoration that can be applied to almost any hand plane you find. By Kerry Pierce WITH THE EXCEPTION OF ONE STANLEY BLOCK PLANE, every woodworking plane I own came from a flea market (or from eBay, the “digital flea market”). Most were rescued from a table or box piled high with moldering woodworking tools. Unfortunately, this is the fate for which many woodworking planes are destined. Not because they aren’t useful tools – on the contrary, planes are eminently useful, and when properly tuned offer some of the most sublimely satisfying work- shop experiences. Instead, these tools are relegated to the discard bin because they can be difficult to use, even for otherwise accomplished craftsmen. A hand saw, by contrast, can be made to work right out of the box, by even a beginning wood- worker; the same is true of most typical shop tools. Experience always leads to better results, but most tools perform their designated tasks even in inexperienced and unskilled hands. PRACTICAL Woodworking planes, however, are more challenging for the uninitiated to operate. In order to make shavings, the plane iron must be sharp, correctly bedded, and set at the right depth. Further, the plane itself must be moved across the workpiece in the correct manner.

  • SETUP Setting up the Instrument Is the Last Stage of the Making Process
    --Michael Darnton/VIOLIN MAKING/Setup-- [This is a copy of one section of the forthcoming book tentatively titled Violin Making, by Michael Darnton, http://darntonviolins.com , downloaded from http://violinmag.com . It is an incomplete preliminary version, © 2009 by Michael Darnton. All publication rights, in any media are reserved. You may download one copy for personal use. No commercial use, commercial printing, or posting, either in whole or of substantial parts, in other locations on the internet or in any other form will be tolerated.] SETUP Setting up the instrument is the last stage of the making process, before the final adjustments. It involves all of the things that the strings touch, plus the soundpost—the final touches that make the instrument playable. In larger shops setup is often considered a specialty job, similar to bow rehairing, because it’s a critical skill different from making and restoration that benefits from constant repetition. Many makers, if they haven’t worked at some time in a shop doing a lot of setups, are minimally skilled at setup and treat it as the final impediment to getting an instrument playable and sold. Learning setup mimics learning to make: initially it is a job of numbers and measurements, discovering and doing something that works most of the time and is easily quantifiable in lists of dimensions. Only later does it blossom into a more creative and flexible discipline, determining in conjunction with adjustment the most precise aspects of how a violin performs. Because of this, there have been people in the violin world who have made famous reputations based primarily on their abilities at setup and adjustment.

  • Winding Sticks Materials
    Project 1: Winding Sticks Materials: • 2 blanks of a stable and preferably dense hardwood at least ¾ x 2 x 25 • Dark and Light Scrap Wood for inlay at least ¼ x ¼ x 25 Tools: • Rip Saw • Scrub Plane • Jointer Plane • Marking Gauge • Wide Paring Chisel • Crosscut saw or Carcass saw • Smoothing Plane (optional) Process: The below process assumes you have thin stock for the inlay and narrow stock for the sticks already kicking around the scrap bin. If suitable width stock is not readily available in your scrap bin, you can rip it to width by hand, but since we haven’t covered that yet, I’ll look the other way if you use a power tool. I would prefer you use a jig saw or something that does not cut a perfectly straight edge in order to challenge yourself during the edge planning work. The same goes for the inlay stock. If you need to resaw or cut to smaller size do so but try to avoid a tool that takes all the flattening work out of the picture. Make sure your inlay stock is wider than your rabbet so you can flush it to the stick surface after the glue is dry. 1. Flatten one face of each winding stick. Make sure to pay attention to the grain direction and eyeball the condition of the stock for cup, bow, and twist. If the board is in bad shape a scrub plane may be needed otherwise the jointer can be used. 2. Flatten and square the edge of the stock using the jointer plane 3.
