I’m a fan of getting my instruments out and at hand within the workshop. It’s straightforward sufficient to mount the saws to the wall, whip up a chisel rack and tuck the planes on a shelf, however the small gadgets not often have a great spot to take a seat – in order that they find yourself on each horizontal floor, in the best way and topic to being knocked round or, even worse, onto the ground.


When Jason Thigpen over at Texas Heritage Woodworks was building his Dutch software chest, he was in search of a great way to unravel the identical drawback. Together with his talent on the stitching machine and savvy in creating device storage options, he got here up with the Saddle Bag, a small footprint software organizer that’s at house in a device chest, on the wall and even hooked up to the aspect of the bench.


With 12 pockets of varied sizes (from 1″-three″ in width and three″-four″ in depth, together with two cross-by way of pockets for longer instruments resembling mixture squares) it simply handles miscellaneous gadgets reminiscent of pencils, rulers, screwdrivers and squares, with loads of room for instruments that I exploit much less typically, together with nail units and countersinks. The leather-based-strengthened eyelets alongside the highest of the Saddle Bag permit it to be mounted with 4 #6 screws. The double stitching and hand-peened copper rivets within the 14.7 ounce canvas (obtainable in a variety of colours) guarantee its longevity.


At $70 it’s not a cheap merchandise, however the high quality of construction and sturdiness make it a lifetime answer to the muddle of small instruments. As with all storage answer, you could not discover an merchandise for each pocket, or vise-versa, however in my case, I discovered a house for the dozen or so small gadgets that all the time bounce across the store.

Assembly of an Oneida Dust Gorilla Pro Cyclone Dust Collector

What Happened To ClearVue? Before we get into the assembly of an Oneida Dust Gorilla Pro cyclone dust collector, let’s address the elephant in the room: what happened to the ClearVue? Just like my table saw, I took the move to Colorado as an opportunity to try something new. One less tool to move and work around as I get the new shop together and one more chance to gain perspective on a different brand. In addition, Oneida offers stands for their cyclones and that’s a feature I wanted in the new shop. So after a few pleasant phone calls with the folks at Oneida, we are now working with them directly on the dust collection solution for the new TWW shop. And just to clear the air, I have nothing negative to say about Clear Vue. Their cyclone served me well for over a decade and I am lucky to have gotten to know the kind folks that run the company. But now I also feel lucky to know some of the great people behind Oneida! Enter Oneida! My sales...

Video - February 18, 2014 History Back in the early days of my woodworking, I was heavily influenced by a show called Woodworks. The host, David Marks, would frequently engage in a process that was very new to me at the time: power-sculpting (aka power carving). I was so excited by this process that I drove all the way up to Santa Rosa to learn the technique from the man himself. So what you see in this video is largely inspired by the work of David Marks.

While the bench was only meant as a prototype, I went on to teach a class on the topic and my buddy Tom Iovino was able to write an article about the project for Woodcraft Magazine. Several years later, I wrote an article for Popular Woodworking Magaz...
