Podcast Back End
We're updating the video version of the ShopNotes Podcast going forward. It's moving to its own channel. The idea is to find a wider audience on its own and to allow the woodworking content on the Woodsmith channel to shine brighter. Please subscribe and check to get notifications.
Workshop Tour
DaleMichaelsWoodworks asks: Hey Phil any luck getting the rest of your shop tour series filmed now that it's warmer out? Lots of folks have spaces similar to yours (not shop mansions like Logan's hall) so it's great to see how you use the space.
I will be filming a new installment in the next week or so. It's good to know folk have been interested in this. My space is both lovely and frustrating at the same time. Recently, I've spent more time out in the shop and have appreciated it more. Check out my earlier video of the lumber rack and storage portion of the shop.
Tool Hunting
The other day Logan came to the studio hauling an old painted toolbox he bought off a guy ... just some random guy. As one does.
These are universally fun to look through. You'll hopefully see a version of this box appear in an upcoming issue of PopWood.
We're waiting to hear from listeners who can identify and comment on the tools found inside.
Otherwise here's a plan that we did in a similar vein in ShopNotes. Take note that this was done in Baltic birch plywood in order to look pretty. What it is is pretty heavy. I'd love to make a version of this in some lighter material. Or mix up the materials (and thickness) to cut weight.
Out of the detritus, I picked up a multipurpose marking gauge and a compass. The marking gauge has a mortise gauge portion and a face that allows you to follow curves. I need to do some more work on this to get it back into a reliable condition.
The compass needed nothing beyond some cleanup and oil to get the parts in shape. Though I may make an auxiliary tip to replace the pencil if I need a(nother) dividers.
