Hi Ralph.  Artsy fartsy?  No.  Old Fart?  Maybe?  But certainly "Well informed appreciator".  These two benches and many other tools were built from pictures in a book on early American tools.  I have pondered a display and / or storage method for quite some time and just don't know what I'll do.  I think that I'd like to build a miniature shop diorama, but I'm still busy building stuff to put in it.  Thanks for the link.  WOW!!!  I am totally humbled, and could never live up to some of those tool (jewelry) boxes and displays.  Guess I'll just ponder it some more as I study some of pictures in the link.  Ralph

Ralph, If you can make all these pieces then I have every faith in you to build a fancy tool chest  :thumbup:

Some of those tool chests are what the cabinet makers made during their apprenticeships from what I'm told.

My dad had my great grandad's version in the garage for years... Till the damp got to it and destroyed the corner. So he sold it on e-blag!  :(



 :lol:  The term "artsie fartsie" was used on me a few years back by a fellow going by the handle "Circlip"  (Ian). It was used to describe my general style of turning. Quite right was too  :dremel: 


Diorama... I knew there was a word for it' but it was late and words escaped me!

Suppose it'd be quite large to have in scale?


So maybe just the fancy tool box and a display case?  :proj:







Ralph.

I like it all, but particularly love the spokeshave, bevel gauge, and drawknife, all tools I have used for many years. Ever do a shipbuilder's adze or caulking mallet?

Thanks for the encoyragement and confidence in me Ralph.  I'll start doing some sketches and scale drawings today and masy have something to show for it down the road.  Ralph

Thanks vtsteam.  Yes, I have built a carpenter's adz with half head and crook long handle, but I can't seem to find it now.  It is different from a ship builder's adz in that the later has a round spike rather than a half head end opposite the blabe.  I'll try to find mine.  Ralph
