After returning from Brese Plane a couple weeks ago the Winter Smoother sat on the bookshelf in my office for over a week while I caught up from time away.
Then it happened. Sunday afternoon. The eternal day. That magical time when working in the shop seems so right. It's unlike any other day.
I slung my camera bag over my shoulder, grabbed the tripod, and headed to the shop, Winter Smoother and tote in hand. I dusted off the bench, hit play on my Zune, and started making rosewood dust...

Beautiful work, and I love the choice of Ranger.
ReplyDeleteGawd, that was probably the most beautiful woodworking video I've ever seen, and one of the most informative, too--even without words. And there was beer! Good beer! (I'm not a big pale ale guy, but Ranger is great for what it is) Thanks for this, and congratulations on a job well done.
ReplyDeleteI thoroughly enjoyed your attention to detail. I'm sure that the Winter Smoother will be a cherished tool for at least a century! Your playlist on the other hand was highly ecletic...I liked that too!
ReplyDeleteThis is why we build things with our hands.

Thanks everyone! (especially Jedi Master Konrad) I can't wait to get this plane totally finished. There is one big step left, but I'll save that for the very end.
ReplyDeleteCouldn't you just use a CNC to do the same thing?

(great tote Jameel)
I tried that Raney, but it spilled beer all down my front.
ReplyDeleteNice to hear some oud from young Mr Tawadros and that great piece of Harold Budd at the end. Many thanks for a thoroughly enthralling series of videos.
ReplyDeleteJameel,
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful piece of wood, and ultimately tote. Very smooth. Nice!
Best,
