It’s All Complete

February 19, 2016 By Helen 12 Comments

The past six months or so have been hectic. We didn't intend to neglect our 'free' video duties but once we'd had great results with our first Premium Series we decided to continue with the next. These first two series were a test for us so there was no pre-planning or scheduling reams of time … [Read more...]

Makers Not Marketers

The English Woodworker Spoon Rack Series

Most people who like to make things be it furniture, tools, cake or whatever, are far more interested and therefore far better at the making part than the selling. Richard and I fall in to this category and given the opportunity Richard will try telling customers that they don't need his … [Read more...]

Pine Boards

I'm designing a chest at the moment and thinking about all of the usual pointers to guide me; scale, proportion etc, along with considering it's educational purpose (a new one for me).

Learning To Set Wooden Planes

August 14, 2015 By Helen 40 Comments

Wooden Smoothing Plane

When I decided to start woodworking I chose do it with wooden planes. Perhaps this was heavily influenced by what Richard felt would be a good route to take, but also because I've always felt a great attraction towards them. Setting up a wooden hand plane is not intuitive. Not for me … [Read more...]

Egyptian Cosmetics box

  If I were taught about fire breathing dragons in science at school then they'd be as real to me as dinosaurs. They told me Pluto was a planet and I wasn't going to question it.

Hand Cut Dovetails – Beginner’s Joints

July 9, 2015 By Helen 28 Comments

Dovetails by hand

Yesterday I made my first hand cut dovetails. I've watched Richard cut dovetail joints over and over, and I've practiced cutting to my saw lines over even more. But I knew if I was left on my own, with just a few pointers, then I would still be about to make a mess of things. Luckily for me, … [Read more...]
