It is automatic to note this disclaimer if you sell large, potentially dangerous machinery, which eat people as easily as they eat wood.<br /><br />I wrote this particular post intending it to be funny. Clearly, if you put a clamp on your head and tighten it you will void the warranty. <br /><br />Life can be dangerous, but woodworking should not be.W.

You can imagine what kind of responses I got every day. So I was always asked about the peculiar bruise and bump which was obvious under the left side of my chin (from the violin chin rest). I made up stories which were exotic, like it is a perpetual hickey. You can wear your bruise from the chevalet in pride.<br /><br />Also, I should have noted on this blog entry the standard disclaimer: "Woodworking is dangerous. Stupid people can do stupid things. I am not responsible for the reader's actions in any event. Hand screw clamps should never be applied to the skull without parental supervision."<br /><br />Keep your chisels sharp and your hands in your pockets.<br /><br />PatrickW.

I have a fellow who works for me who swears he was taught at a trade tech "college" NOT to use hand tools because they are "slow to use, clumsy to handle and dangerous...modern man must only use modern tools". I do not doubt that conversation at all. The sad thing is that this fellow with his "degree in woodworking" cannot cut a simple mortise because he cannot use a chisel properly!<br />For me, like you, the wood body plane makes beautiful music!<br />The only wooden tool I ever hurt myself on was my chevalet --I got a bruise on my shoulder from changing blades when I kept breaking them the first week I used it!<br />Happy Thanksgiving.Perihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12157080032902957640noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4695685403802703716.post-23573144494103644032010-11-21T09:22:34.483-08:002010-11-21T09:22:34.483-08:00Chuck, you are one of my most enthusiastic student...Chuck, you are one of my most enthusiastic students. I am going to reach out to all the graduates of ASFM and ask them to send me photos and details on their projects. I would like this blog to be a forum for the world of marquetry. Send me something that I can write about.<br /><br />For example, how about your demonstrations using that strange portable chevalet?<br /><br />PatrickW.

Scarcely a day goes by that I do not recall with pleasure the days spent with you at The American School of French Marquetry.<br /><br />Your comment on metal planes struck me, the part about not knowing which way to turn the adjusting screw. I have one jack plane, a Sargent VBM that the screw turns opposite from that of my Stanleys! Frustrating because you try to advance the blade and it takes the backlash tension off the blade lug. They hurt my hands too and I do not have large hands.<br /><br />Chuck WalkerMid-Hudson Woodworkershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10219191177765488038noreply@blogger.com
