While I Was Away
This past weekend I was lucky enough to head down to Atlanta and attend Designing and Building Chairs with Jeff Miller at Highland Woodworking. The class was a blast and Ill be sharing more about it here and on the Highland Woodworking blog in the coming days.
While I was busy in Atlanta, my friends on the interwebs were busy posting videos and other great content. Here are some of the best things Ive seen on the web lately.
The Highland 35th Anniversary Limited Edition Scott Meek Smoothing Plane
+Scott Meek has been a longtime friend. In this video +Mike Morton unboxes and reviews one of the really neat 35th Anniversary Edition plans which Scott is making for +Highland Woodworking.
A Moment with a Planemaker - Scott Meek Woodworks
Keeping with Highland videos for a moment, this is another recent video of theirs featuring Scott. This video about Scott and the planes he makes also features the debut of our good friend +Christopher Adkins behind the camera for Highland Woodworking.
Toshio Odate
This video goes back to Woodworking in America 2009. +Tom Iovino took it of Toshios Japanese Plane class. Its a brief review of adjusting Japanese Vs. Western hand planes and is a fascinating watch, regardless of which you use.

Rosas de Coja
Realizei este trabalho a pedido da direção do Rancho Folclórico Rosas de Coja. Foi-me pedido uma coisa simples, mas com a ligação que tenho com aquela entidade, resolvi dedicar algum tempo a este projecto.
A composição foi realizada por mim onde inclui parte de uma pattern das "VIstas de Coja", a ponte antiga de coja e um par de dançarinos. O trabalho tem as dimensões de 25X21 Cm e demorou cerca de 5 horas a cortar.

Finished Tables Delivered
The craft table order is now complete and the tables have been delivered to the clients home to her sewing area. The lower table is 60"x30"x30" with one drawer in the center. The other two are 42"x30"x36" and have two drawers each.

what to do what to do
well, friday afternoons ... you just never know what might happen ... as we were cleaning up, somone put this claro slab cutoff out on the porch just as i happened to go out the door to the finish room. this piece has been hanging around the end of the sander for oh, a year or so? who knows. anyway, i suddently had this urge to clone it by resawing it with a chainsaw. kind of like the rubber stamp tool in photoshop. so i did. jim was johnny on the spot with the photos .... now comes the hard part ... whats the best thing to do with them ??? comments? were open to suggestions ... click the photos to enlarge them ...

1st obvious arrangement with the curving negative space ...
not so obvious, but maybe cool on the wall ... or, as a table with a glass top?
free standing swans
have a good weekend ....other chainsaw adventures
