Back when I was building custom kitchens step one was to go to the customers house and make story poles of the room dimensions...length, depth and height. Back at the shop the first order of business was ripping up a batch of 1 1/2" wide strips of quarter inch birch plywood to make story sticks out of. I'd use the story poles to make story sticks with the birch plywood strips. Depending on the size of the project it took anywhere from a few hours to a day or 2 to create complete full scale layouts of every component. Once those story sticks were created I never touched a ruler…the sticks were used to layout anything that needed to be measured. This totally eliminated mistakes plus once I was finished those story sticks got bundled up and stored and if down the road somebody needed something like a cabinet door replicated I wouldn't even have to go back to the job, I'd just go into the pile of story sticks and build with complete assurance the item would be correct. Story sticks rule! I'm retired now and will soon be moving and downsizing my shop. It has been really fun to look back through this inventory of projects...before I toss all that history on a burn pile. 😃

I think it would be cool to inlay brass on the inches and maybe 2 different contrasting woods on the 1/2 and 1/4. Make it a real heirloom looking piece.

@hubrigant Ай бұрын

That would be really pretty with a brass insert for the rule rather than the sticker. I know it's heresy here, but the brass would pop nicely with walnut instead of white oak.

Interesting project- but I always feel that dark wood (mahogany type) goes better with brass. A brushed finish, and it is reminiscent of old cameras. I also like making my own brass parts- it is easy to fabricate such shapes by brazing sections together. More personal, and actually less work than filing castings. I tend to make all by projects furniture that way- difficult to get quality brass furniture at all, never mind at a reasonable cost...

Interesting. I was thinking of making yard sticks, and I was worrying about bowing in the boards. And it looks like you're saying it's not really an issue, beside esthetics.

With those bent pieces of would, this put me in mind of that video you made on a bow file. Instead of a lipped ruler I think it wood be better to call it a "bow ruler". Does that count as a snide remark?

@pettere8429 Ай бұрын

Would it be possible to make some kind of stencil for the measurements? Perhaps from .1" sheet metal that could act as a heat shield and then you hit the whole thing with a torch and the markings are burned into the wood where there is no metal covering it. When are you coming back to homemade BLO?

@WoodByWrightHowTo Ай бұрын

That could be fun. Jeff is actually making a roller that you can push the rod through and it will cut all of the marks into the wood for you. I'm really interested to see how that comes out.

I'm stunned an find it freeing that the more I watch these plane videos on KZfaq the more I see these guys treat them like rental cars. Paul Sellers himself will practically use the end of one to open a beer bottle. I am shocked but relieved. The first time I ever whacked one of my antique planes with a METAL hammer I almost couldn't do it. Works fine though :)

@mrcheese3981 Ай бұрын

@@WoodByWrightHowTo Really? But surely it bluntens the blade pretty quickly? Have you ever tried planing aluminium?

@reedplanes728 Ай бұрын

@@mrcheese3981 I use a chisel all the time when cleaning up before I file when an area is hard to reach. It is like working with Ipe, yup they dull faster. Cutting bronze or brass is done with HSS end mills that have the same hardness as a woodworking chisel or plane blade. I have not purposely planed bronze but I am not concerned if I hit it when cleaning up. The traditional metal working approach is to bring the metal to the level of the wood. I have done this as well by leveling the wood to the metal. Each method has pros and cons.

@mikesalmo Ай бұрын

This is part of why I love using brass in general. It’s pretty soft. It also isn’t magnetic, doesn’t conduct electricity, conducts head poorly, and it doesn’t rust. I mean, it tarnishes slowly (and that looks kinda nice to me) but not rust rust. But it’s usually hard enough for screws, nuts, bolts, etc. When restoring stuff, sometimes I leave the tarnish. Sometimes I polish it back shiny. I keep a 1/8th inch rod around and use it like wood dowel sometimes for accents, or I can easily thread it. There are a lot of times steel is the right choice, but brass, bronze, aluminum, etc. are nice options to consider sometimes and less risky to chip a blade.

Yes. They are great. And the Japanese style tends to be easier for the beginner to grasp. The western style gives you more control but that also means that any small twitch in your arm elbow or shoulder will send it off course.

@WoodByWrightHowTo Ай бұрын

It's not a breast drill. It was originally made but the pressing arm on top was added by a previous owner.
