Making Roubo's Winding Sticks // 18th Century Hand Tools
Рет қаралды 5,003
Күн бұрынAndré Jacob Roubo was an 18th century French carpenter, cabinet maker, and author. Woodworkers probably know him for the workbench that bears his name. Found within the same treatise as the workbench were a set of winding sticks. They work in the same way as the winding sticks that many of us would be familiar with except the Roubo winding sticks sit on a pair of feet. This allows the Roubo sticks to sit easily on rough surfaces. Additionally, pair the Roubo winding sticks with a set of rabbets and it makes for a quick and efficient method for removing twist from a board.

Thanks for the explanation at the end, I finally understood how to use the rabbet method with these.

In Roubo’s figure 1 there are dowels on the end of the winding sticks. Do you know why those are there. Also I noticed that you have screws on the end of your winding sticks. What is the purpose and are they related to his dowels?

Great question. The dowels keep all of the parts together and prevent the legs from falling off and getting lost. I'm not sure of they have a purpose beyond that. Mine had screws in place of dowels only because I wanted to put some metal in there for the appearance.

Kudos for using a reference surface to make sure that they were parallel. I wonder if Roubo would have shaped and mortised a large (4" or so) block, and cut the brackets from it

I've wondered the same thing. This is one of those projects that if you have access to thick boards it can go by faster.

What are you doing at 7:45? Burnishing with the heel of a block plane?

I had a bit of tearout in that area that I was trying to remove.

wth was with that wood before the "technical issues" flashed? I have never seen that before
@EricMeyerMaker Жыл бұрын
I believe the wood was dried too quickly. The outside looked fine, but it was an unwelcome surprise after cutting into it.
