Lee Valley Glue Pot
We saw this little glue pot on the Lee Valley website, and we could not resist...........
Part of the reason heat sensitive hide glue is useful for furniture construction is because it can be softened for repairs; however, this property also makes it necessary to keep the glue warm while you work with it. This double boiler pot surrounds the inner pot with water to evenly distribute heat and help...

Backwoods Chairmakers
In Search of the Appalachian Ladderback Chairmaker
By Andrew D. Glenn
For more than 200 years, chairmakers in Appalachia built ladderbacks to sell to neighbors and the occasional tourist. It was a tradition that was handed down through generations. But with the rise of furniture factories and mechanisation, woodworker Andy D. Glenn wondered if there were any traditional chairmakers left.

Crown Tools Bowl Gouge
A bowl gouge is the perfect tool for roughing down bowl and platter blanks as well as shaping and hollowing to a good finish.
These tools are made by milling a U shaped flute in a round bar. The width (a little confusingly) is the width of the flute, rather than the diameter of the bar.
The larger gouges are ideal for roughing down blanks and reaching into large bowls. The 1/4" (6mm) is...

The chisels are hardened to between 66 degree and 69 degree Rockwell, enabling...

Crown Tools Rolled Edge Skew Gouge
A skew chisel is a tool which repays practise with excellent results. The best, but sometimes the most daunting tool for planing spinle work and with practise, cutting clean beads and fine details.
The first skews were made from rectangular bar. Professionals then groudn a rounded edge to make tool rolling easier when cutting beads. Manufacturers then made a rounded (rolled) edge version, then...
Crown Tools Dovetail Cutting Tool
In 2001 Stiles and Bates ground some of their 1/2'' scrapers to this profile for a course they were running.

One of the most difficult tasks in hand cutting dovetails is accurately transferring the tails and precisely sawing the pins. Rob's improved method of transferring tails to the pin board by offsetting the tailboard by the thickness of the saw kerf takes all the guess work out of where to saw.
Offsetting by the exact thickness can...

Veritas Tabling Scribe
No matter how careful you are with layout and assembly, a legged project will almost always be wobbly. One way to ensure the project will sit properly without rocking is by tabling it; that is, placing the project on a fl at table (e.g., the top of a table saw), marking a consistent trimming line on each leg, and then cutting to this line. The Veritas Tabling Scribe simplifies this step, providing...
