In this part 1 I focus on milling the quite substantial 10/4 and 12/4 Walnut stock and joint and gluing up the parts of the top. Here again I present my hybrid milling process that I detailed in episode 182, but it should be noted that it is possible to use this same process on the edges of the boards. A general rule of thumb is that you should not run a board through the planer whose width is more than 3 times the thickness. So with me using 2.5″ thick Walnut for the legs, I can comfortably run the 4″ width and quickly surface them on 4 sides.

great insider view on LN’s business. I would have enjoyed an insight into him personally (what he likes to build), too. I agree that education has to be at the forefront – it drives adoption and use of hand tools. I wish there was more available on the west coast, which is about as devoid of hand tool training as Germany…

    I asked him that Tony, and really he doesn’t have time to build anymore since he is making tools. He said he works a lot of wood but only in the testing of tools.

Tom Buhl

I found Thomas’ impression of European experiences and the (perhaps) budding market in Russia very interesting. I believe CS has touched on the European situation in a few of his blogs.

From my travels, I found people from the former Soviet Union had the strongest English speaking skills of any national group. Perhaps the conflicting experience is indicative of those who travel as opposed to those staying at home (dreaming of a basement workshop).
