  • 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

  • Build a Plane That Cuts Smooth and Crisp Raised Panels With, Against Or Across the Grain – the Magic Is in the Spring and Skew

The bed angle of the Smith plane is 46º, and the iron is skewed at 32º.

  • Howard Brady
    Howard Brady WOOD DESIGNS Copyright © 2019 by Howard L. Brady Note: Every item shown in this album was an original, one-of-a-kind design. The design process from concept through crafting to the finished item is a source of incredible satisfaction to me, and a process that extends well beyond woodworking into music composition, and (with my brother) creation of innovative educational materials. A few years before I retired, Dave Campbell, a senior engineer and friend at Skydata where I worked, remarked that as a writer of technical communications documents for satellite communications equipment, I was an “information designer.” Those were kind works, and, I hope, accurate. This octogenarian loves designing. ii Toys for my great-grandson, Mason: The front-end loader and dump truck were my first major toy designs, built November 2017. Most solid wood is poplar, plywood parts are Baltic birch, dark wood is Indian rosewood, from a local tree destroyed in one of the 2004 hurricanes. Metal parts were aluminum (truck bed edge rails, front end loader bucket and crosspiece), brass (truck steering components) and stainless steel (all fasteners, operating levers). Lever and knob above truck cab controls steering. 1 Built March 2018: Toy box for Mason’s third birthday, May 6th: 2 November 2018: Toy flat-bed wrecker and grumpy wrecked race car for Mason’s Christmas. One of Mason’s parent’s close friends is Tim Daugherty, who races his #88 car (so far NOT wrecked) in figure-8 races at the Antelope Valley Fairgrounds in Southern California. I hope he didn’t mind my version.

  • Bevel-Up Smoother Plane
    Bevel-Up Smoother Plane 05P36.01 Patent Pending The Veritas® Bevel-Up Smoother Plane is a state-of-the-art smoothing plane. We have combined the generous width and weight of a dedicated smoother with the versatile inner workings of a low-angle bevel-up plane. The 12° bed angle, coupled with the 38° blade bevel, yields an effective cutting angle of 50° that is commonly known as a York pitch. The bevel-up blade confi guration means that simply increasing the blade bevel results in higher cutting angles, thereby enabling the working of diffi cult grain patterns. Weighing in at just under 5 pounds, with an exceptionally low center of gravity, this plane is dubbed 1641/2H. The coffi n-shaped body has a sole length of 10". The 21/4" wide blade is 3/16" (0.187") thick and made of A2 tool steel hardened to Rc60-62 and it is common to both this plane and the Veritas® Low-Angle Jack Plane. The body is fully stress-relieved, ductile cast iron. It is accurately machined and the sole is ground fl at. It features an adjustable mouth that can be closed to a narrow slit for fi ne shavings with minimum tear-out or opened for heavier cuts. All of this can be done quickly and accurately with the front locking knob and the unique mouth adjustment screw/stop. The adjustment mechanism, with its combined feed and lateral adjustment knob, makes blade setting easy and accurate. The set screws on either side of the blade prevent it from shifting in use, but allow full lateral adjustment.

You may print copies for your own personal use only. 1 BENCHCRAFTED · SHAKER BENCH PLANS · INTRODUCTION & DESIGN · “Whatever perfections you may have, be assured people will find them out, but whether they do or not, nobody will take them on your word” Canterbury, New Hampshire, 1844 When I first laid eyes on the workbench at the Hancock Shaker Museum in Pittsfield, Massachusetts I had a pretty good idea of the configuration of my next workbench. I think it would be safe to say that I was inspired. However, designing a workbench that is inspired by a Shaker icon can be intimidating as well. I had to do justice to the original and keep in mind what might be considered acceptable. Luckily, most are aware that the Shakers were quite accepting of new technologies that could be practically applied, so this did allow a fair amount of leeway in regards to using more recent workholding devices on this bench. In the end, I did want the look to be very representative of the Shaker Ideal. “‘Tis a Gift to Be Simple” is an over used Shaker pronouncement, however I often think it’s meaning is misinterpreted. I believe it means having freedom from making things unnecessarily complicated.
