Thu, 22 January 2009 UPDATE AS OF JANUARY 23, 2009 Thanks to a very observant listener I've discovered why the original feed that most of you were subscribed too wasn't working in iTunes. In an effort to make the transition as painless as possible, I accidentally typed in the wrong feed address. It may take a day or two, but iTunes should automatically redirect the old feed http://www.mattswoodshop.libsyn.com/rss to the new one. Hey folks I've got a new and much improved website and I'm putting the finishing touches in place as we speak. If you haven't done so yet, please stop by and visit it at www.mattsbasementworkshop.com. Please bookmark it as a favorite and visit often LOL!! Also, you may have noticed a problem with your feeds. I've tried to make this as painless as possible, but I think you may need to resubscribe to continue getting the latest episodes. I apologize for this and I'm still working to get everything in place. To make it easy for you to subscribe, or resubscribe if necessary, click here to be taken to the new website where you'll find three choices for getting the show the way you want it. The full feed with everything; video, audio, PDF, etc. The video only feed or the audio only feed. Thanks for everything and I look forward to another year of Matt's Basement Workshop with all of you!! Category: general -- posted at: 10:12 PM Comments[0] |

Fri, 16 January 2009 ATTENTION - WE'RE MOVING! PLEASE VISIT THE NEW SITE AT www.mattsbasementworkshop.com where you'll find the video and more for today's show and future shows. The small plow plane from Veritas has quickly made it's way to the top of my list of "favorite tools". It's so easy to use, and like a good "speciality" tool should do, it does its job extremely well. So well in fact I've actually wasted time debating whether I should or shouldn't use it in place of a stacked dado blade or a straight cutting bit on a couple of projects recently! For those of you not familiar with a plow plane or what it does. A plow plane is used solely for the purpose of cutting grooves along the length of a board (with the long grain). You can cut them on the face or on the edge of a board and as I'll demonstrate you can even cut them on the ends of a board. Typically you won't use a plow plane to cut a dado across the width of a board. The lack of a nicker to score the wood fibers will result in a horribly torn out surface. Of course as I demonstrate today, there are ways around that. Congrats to this week's schwag winner...Michael Rogers!! Help Support Matt's Basement Workshop by visiting our sponsors!

Thu, 1 January 2009 Happy New Year to everyone!!! 2008 was a very good year for Matt's Basement Workshop. I had a chance to meet so many of you in person, through emails, forums and more. All of these opportunities to meet you only helped to confirm something I've known all along...woodworkers make the best friends!! So if I haven't said it enough already...THANK YOU! Thanks for being you and thanks for being my new best friend. As always, with the beginning of a new year occassionally there comes some new changes. And to start with, very soon you'll be noticing some dramatic changes to the appearance of the website. It's been a longtime coming and thanks to some close friends of the show, Marc and Nicole, it's finally happening. While the actual appearance of the website will be different and far more organized the content and everything else will be the same. As a head's up for everyone, the only other dramatic change you'll discover is that the feed for the show will also be changing. But to help make this change as simple as possible, I'm going to keep the old feed up and running and adding content to it until at least February. I figure this will give everyone an opportunity to stay up to date and make the transition as smooth as possible. I'll of course keep you up to date throughout this transition and if you have any concerns or need help making changes don't hesitate to contact me! Happy New Year again to everyone, I know 2009 will be even better!! Category: general -- posted at: 5:43 PM Comments[0] |

Thu, 25 December 2008 Hey everyone I just wanted to wish a very heartfelt and warm Merry Christmas to all of you celebrating it today. While it's important to be with family and friends on a day such as today. It's more important to carry that love and warmth you feel in your heart right now with you the whole year through (it's hard, trust me I try!!) While I can't send all of you a Christmas card, since I don't have that much time or stamps or your addresses. I thought I'd share with you, this year's Vanderlist Christmas card. All the credit goes to my wife and her mad photographer skills!

Wed, 24 December 2008 It's time once again for Hendrik's visit this month and we're answering questions you sent in regarding the topic of "Advice for beginning woodworkers". We had some really great questions varying from which tools do I need to get started to electrical needs and heating. This is only part 1 of a 2 part series, so don't miss the second half on that'll be released on Friday. To order a copy of Hendrik's new DVD or to learn more about his seminars visit his website at www.passionforwood.com. Hendrik sent along this Christmas message to share with all of you: I'd like to, first of all, thank everyone who has attended seminars here over the past year or taken any form of private instruction. I continue to take pleasure in sharing my techniques with others and especially watching some of my students go from complete beginner to a more confident woodworker. Woodworking skills are easily learned by just about anyone, but it does take a great deal of time and practice in order to refine those skills. For me, teaching is a way to refine my skills even more because being asked question after question such as "Why do you do it that way?" makes a person more aware of not just the skills but the reasons for them. Having to perform those skills in a pressure environment in front of a dozen people all wanting to see "how to do it right" also pushes me to learn more and become a little more efficient when possible.

Tue, 23 December 2008 Marking Gauge Rundown With the holidays coming at us like a freight train, I was thinking about gift ideas that could...ahem...wind up in front of your significant other just in the nick of time. One such idea is a marking gauge -- a necessary tool for laying out dovetails and also useful for many other tasks. You could make a huge mistake and buy a cheap, lousy one like I did (which is more expensive in the long run because now I need to get another one) or buy one that will give you excellent results and last a long time. The most important feature of a marking gauge is the knife. A guage (like mine) that tears fibers instead of shearing them makes a rough line that will make the baseline of your dovetails look messy. The side of the knife facing the fence of the marking gauge should be flat. The top of the knife should be rounded and parallel to the fence. This shape produces a clean line in both directions. Adjustability is less important to me than a good knife. As long as the gauge can be adjusted easily and held firmly in place, it will do its job. Having better adjustability is less frustrating and more efficient, and this is one place where the price starts to go up. The next place is in the aesthetics. Other considerations are the style of the gauge -- basically, how it is set up -- and the size. If you plan to layout carcass dovetails, then a large marking gauge would feel more solid. If you are making smaller projects, like boxes or drawers, then a large marking gauge might be overkill and a small one more appropriate for the task. Here are three marking gauges in a fairly wide price range. Any of these will do the job well and last years if not decades. They are three distinctly different styles and all have large and small versions. I have used versions of all of these, so I can confirm that they are well-made and work exceptionally well. The Tite-Mark, made by Glen-Drake Toolworks, was an instant classic. It's a design so simple and smart that I can't believe someone didn't think of it years ago. Made entirely of brass, it feels great in the hand, the knife (round in this case) is the right shape for shearing and the adjustment is absolutely solid and precise. You can get the standard Tite-Mark and the Tite-Mark Mini at www.glen-drake.com or from several dealers listed on the website.
The Hamilton marking gauge is innovative for its minimalist shape. It has all it needs to have -- a nice fence (with inlayed brass), simple adjustment and a great knife -- and nothing more. It comes in large and small versions and is the most affordable of the three featured here. It is made by Hamilton Woodworks (www.hamiltontools.com) and sold exclusively by de legno woodshop supply at www.dlws.com.
I also wanted to throw in a high-end marking gauge for those for whom aesthetics is as important (or nearly so) as utility. Made in Australia, the Chris Vesper marking gauge is traditional in design, with the exception of an innovative recess in the fence that allows clearance for the knife. Otherwise, the hardware is brass and exceptionally well made. Of course, the biggest draw is the hardwoods Chris uses for his tools (the one pictured is made of Tasmanian Blackwood). They are incredibly dense, but are so well finished that they feel great and will hold up to years of use. They are also available in premium timbers such as 5,000-year-old Black Red Gum. Check them out at www.vespertools.com Any one of these marking gauges will provide a lifetime of crisp lines. I guarantee they will elevate the quality of your work and make the experience of woodworking even more enjoyable. Happy Holidays!

While at the Woodworking in America conference I had a chance to attend a couple of great classes on using Western style chisels for more than choping and paring. The first class was taught by Adam Cherubini the author of the Arts & Mysteries column and blog at Popular Woodworking. Adam introduced us to the most common chisels you'd find in an early American cabinetmaker's shop, but then he decided to show us a little more hands on of how they'd use those chisels in a way we don't today. This was a lead in, to what we'd get in another class taught later that day by both Adam and Roy Underhill. This second class was a hands on class where we would not only see these techniques demonstrated but also try them for ourselves...

Status Report: Around the Web: News: Hot Deals: The rest of the show was devoted to our Holiday Bash! We gave away great prizes from Charles Neil, Popular Woodworking, Lee Valley, Zem Hearing Protection, Hock and The Wood Whisperer. This part of the show went on for about an hour so I decided to cut it out of the audio recording. It was fun if you were there, but no so much if were not. We had about 90 people in the chat room for this event so apparently the lesson here is if you want people to show up, give some stuff away for free. haha! OH and by the way, I hit Record on the Ustream feed, so if you are interested in hearing nearly the entire show, and watching the video as well, you can do so below. Warning: You’ll have to excuse my less than family-appropriate shirt. I came in from the shop and totally forgot to change.

Building anything with your kids can be a lot of fun, but finding the right project to keep them interested is sometimes a challenge. I found a great project at www.roarockit.com, it's a skateboard!! Everything you need to build the skateboard is included...the glue, the veneers, the form and even a vacuum bag that works with a hand pump! All you add is the time and fun with the kids...oh and the trucks and wheels...but when it's all done, they have a skateboard and you have a vacuum bag veneering projects in the future!!

It's time for Hendrik's visit this month and we're talking more about Tablesaw set-up and safety. A few of you sent in some great questions so well tackle those too. This is the second half of a 2 part series, so enjoy!! To order a copy of Hendrik's new DVD or to learn more about his seminars visit his website at www.passionforwood.com. Comments, questions or schwag entries - drop me a line at mattsbasementworkshop@gmail.com, or head over to the website where you can also leave your comments, or leave me a voicemail at 231 354-2338. Since I've been back from WIA I've been enjoying reading and watching all of the posts and pics my fellow bloggers and podcaster have been posting, and I know you will too.
