Friday lunch prattle

[Pagie]

Yvan, I wish we in jail down here could go to auctions and markets where we could buy things we don't need. See you next week.

So I got on to be abused by all for my Hat. Was a good fun meeting about steaming and welding. I think we need longer meetings. I don't know if we can do that. A steam bending video could be organized when I can clean my bench off.
Attachment 482521This is a currach. With bent ribs.

Seeing your currach reminded me of a time long ago when I accompanied a bloke to pick up a coracle, the Welsh boat that is either round or nearly round and paddled with a single oar worked in a figure of eight pattern.

So what are we going to decide to put our knowledge to this week?
Sharpening, carving, clamping, hardening steel. Something else?

How about virtual shed tours ?

Cheers Matt.

Luckily I only use a desktop. No wheels, although arguably I could use one with training wheels, but not for mobility.

Hi All,

It's nearly Friday again (YESSS and YAY!)

Rather than a specific topic this week, let's do a "What's on your bench" show and tell?

I really like Matt's idea of some workshop tours, so perhaps we can arrange someone for next week to show us around. I know I really enjoyed seeing Doug's workshop and surrounds during his bench reveal.

Anyway, as usual, open to any and all who have a spare 40 minutes (or just prefer to chat than work).

These are the calipers that I was talking about. They are not super high quality, its mild steel but I think they are accurate. They are also 10". I think they are better than what you can buy on ebay.

But just as I was to post his. I did a search on McJing. They have 12" calipers for 18 bux each. So that might be an option.

Thanks all again for the chat, i pulled the pin on a new Harvey Ambassador c200-30 after we finished up... hope to see it before xmas

I might put the fully automated router table back a little bit though.

Nice to hear and see what we are all working on

Lance, what kept coming to mind is pattern follow tooling and i found this diy version that could be of interest A Poor Man's Lathe Duplicator Rig

Something is wrong with the connection. I was the only one there but I see several other regulars are browsing. Same thing for you?

Paul, all seemed normal for the zoom meeting though Pagie had a low bandwidth connection again

[LanceC]

I wondered what happened to you Paul

Thanks Doug, Matt, et. al. for your advice about pull duplication.

With the pattern and measurements, and playing join-the-dots, I got really close.

Original is Tasmanian Oak with brass insert, the copy is blackwood with a Huon Pine insert. These practice pulls are to good to throw away. I'll have to build something that can use them!
