This is culture and tradition.  I often talk about the importance of supporting the craftsmen because they are at the heart of heritage, but I think we miss a lot of the meaning there.  The artist who painted this scene was a master of their trade, we owe them a great debt.  What they couldn’t convey, though, is little things that were going on.  What stories were being told?  How many laughs rang through the air?  

It was a simpler time, we say, but I wonder if it really was.  They had all the same issues we face today, but they also had closer ties to their culture through the million little traditions they upheld.  And it was that which gave them the anchor they needed for trying times.

I’m not sure why this painting sparked that thought in my mind, honestly.

Even if we put all that aside, we can focus on the simple craftsmanship seen here.  The artist did us a great favor in capturing the quality of the craftsmanship in all the little details - including the wedged mortise-n-tenon on the legs of the bench.  Not a single word spoken, yet the painting pulls you in nonetheless.

my new bench

#Repost @atown1717 ・・・ Finally got around to using these MATCHFIT Dovetail Clamps by @microjig. Made a much needed vise on my bench, stole this idea from @philipmorleyfurniture post the other day. . . #matchfit #microjig #dovetailclamps #matchfitdovetailclamps #benchvise #wood #woodworking #woodshop #furnituredesign #walnutandmaple #walnutandmaplenightstand #nightstand

Well it looks like it’s going to be a diy fail type of weekend. Here’s the moment it all went to crap! Was trying to use a hole saw on some scrap wood to make some concentric circles for a project I’m working on and it went sideways on me. Tried my drill press first but it kept binding. My hammer drill was up to the challenge but may have been a little too torque-y. Also may have had the bench vise too tight. Back to the drawing board I guess! Can anyone relate? . . . . . #diyfail #holesaw #scrapwoodproject #benchvise (at Long Beach, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/CDl8Id3jnh6/?igshid=10p4veo8ijel6

The WoodShaped workbench. So it’s not the most traditional workbench or the most stunning. Fact of the matter is it’s a unique evolution that started with a pair of sawhorses then with a maple butcher block. I added stops to keep it from sliding around, then the aprons, vise, dog holes and finally attached the top to the legs which can be removed at any time. Probably close to two years of evolving into what it is today. Anyway..it’s not much but it’s good enough for me to produce the woodworking pieces I enjoy creating. We’ll see what I add on next! #woodworking #woodshaped #workbench #benchvise #maple #goshapesomewood #holdfasts #sawhorse https://www.instagram.com/p/B0cE4qqgdQZ/?igshid=1wirrey6nww9k

3D Printed Clamp 🗜 maybe you have a weird shape to hold, need a jig to help with assembling something, or you just want a convenient portable table vise. These would be great for holding soft or delicate pieces that a traditional metal vise would crush or scratch. Example:when you need to file the rough edges of a design part fresh from the silicone mold. .

This is the hero of my previous post. I got it for free, as as part of a bigger deal so I restored it and last weekend I sharpened it's knife. Works pretty well.

I always layout my parts before assembly. Mostly to make sure I have all the pieces, but also because moments like this.
