One pattern that keeps showing up, is the basic Mallet made in three layers. The result is pretty and as reliable as any mallet, so I think this pattern can be considered a classic, despite it’s relatively recent appearance. From this view it looks just like the original classic.
This is one of my friends. Probably. OK, maybe. At least this girl is the enemy of my enemies, and I prefer to know exactly where a biting thing is than having biting things flying around me. Bob Typically a shooting board is used for making the short end of a board straight or angled. When I was making a bunch of parts that where going to need to be exactly the same, on the sides as well, I made this one.
The back wall on this board allows me to put large shims in to control the thickness of the board I am shaping.
This way I can smooth one side, and then rotate one of the shims to a wider side. This forces the board out a hair more, After both sides are smooth, I can measure and insert paper shims to fine tune the width. Once I have it down, I can mass produce the same thickness. Bob |
