<span style="color: white; font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">So I thought I would grab the box, take some pics and tell you a little about them.</span><br />
<span style="color: white;"><span style="color: white; font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: white; font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">In 1987 I used to go to a hardware store in Cradley Heath called H.Case or H.Case and sons. </span></span><br />
<span style="color: white; font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">They were one of the best tool hardware stores for miles around. Always busy, a huge shop and quite helpful guys when you wanted to know something... and i used to ask questions, like why don't they do this in a Nine set? They did in a 3 set and a 6 set, But why not a 9 set ?</span><br />
<span style="color: white;"><span style="color: white; font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: white; font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Anyhow, they had their own catalogue every few months, or season, or year.</span></span><br />
<span style="color: white; font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">It was great to see what they had got in stock, or were waiting to come in. And I fell in love with these chisels. Why wouldn't you, brass ferrules, fine taper on the sides of the bevel edge chisels and then those Rosewood handles by one of the best British tool makers. When everyone else was going full-on plastic handles, Boxwood, these really stood out.</span><br />

<span style="color: white;"><br /></span></div>
<span style="color: white;"><span style="color: white; font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Well, these nine Rosewood handled chisels by Marples were the start of their 'back to quality' tools.</span></span><br />
<span style="color: white;"><span style="color: white;"><span style="color: white; font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="color: white; font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">These were not cheap, high end was the direction to aim.</span></span><br />
<span style="color: white; font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">I'd got a pretty good job and wanted some fabulous chisels to use and show off to the older guys in the joinery shop.</span><br />
<span style="color: white;"><span style="color: white; font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: white; font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">I put a deposit down and waited for them to come in. The one thing that disappointed me, was that they only came in a 3 box or a six box, they didn't make a boxed set of nine. I told the guy behind the counter to ring them up and say we want a nine- set. Obviously it didn't happen.</span></span><br />
<span style="color: white;"><span style="color: white; font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: white; font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">So I had the six set and the three extra. The set consisted of;</span></span><br />
<span style="color: white; font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"> 6mm (1/4")</span><br />
<span style="color: white; font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"> 9mm (3/8")</span><br />
<span style="color: white; font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">13mm (1/2")</span><br />
<span style="color: white; font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">19mm (3/4")</span><br />
<span style="color: white; font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">25mm (1")</span><br />
<span style="color: white; font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">32mm (1"1/4)</span><br />
<span style="color: white;"><span style="color: white; font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: white; font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">The three extra were;</span></span><br />
<span style="color: white; font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"> 3mm (1/8")</span><br />
<span style="color: white; font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">15mm (5/8")</span><br />
<span style="color: white; font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">36mm (1"1/2)</span><br />
<span style="color: white;"><span style="color: white; font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: white; font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">*add prices to list later*</span></span><br />
<span style="color: white;"><span style="color: white; font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: white; font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Well, they didn't stay at work, too many people were interested in them and I didn't want to risk one or all of them stolen. So they stayed at home in my workshop.</span></span><br />
<span style="color: white; font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Then after a while, maybe a couple of years or so, I noticed that the ferrules were splitting. I'd sort of forgot about them and carried on using my old Ward & Payne, & Marples etc.</span><br />
<span style="color: white;"><span style="color: white; font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: white; font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Fast forward to now.. Over the last few years have I been replacing the ferrules. I'd found someone selling exactly the same sizes, but slightly thicker gauge brass.</span></span><br />
<span style="color: white; font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">In removing them, I'd noticed that every split was where they had been dimpled with a machine. So on the new ones I didn't dimple the ferrule. Obviously in creating the dimple it was case hardening the brass and creating a weak spot. </span><br />
<span style="color: white; font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Now they look wonderful again.</span><br />

<span style="color: white;">I've had a few people take up my workshops over the last few months and they're going really well. It's more of what you've learned and had hands on experience doing, not really what you physically leave with.</span><br />
<span style="color: white;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: white;">I want people to be able to go home and carry on woodworking, do more marking out, more dovetails, more practising. I want what I wanted years ago. The help, there.. at the right time to show me what to do. Which part first ?.. what would you do ? How do I get over trimming a little too much off this (it happens a few times at first) What if I do this ?</span></div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="color: white;">My One-to-one workshop is structured enough to do the important things.. but flexible enough to go a little 'off-piste' too. The Japanese way of starting the day (or workshop) with sharpening is a great place to start, it straight away gets you into how the edge tools work, what is important and what can be quite relaxed and also gives me the feedback on how the day is going to go. For me, I learn how the student is, and how they are going to get through each part of the process on that day. So it really sets us both up.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="color: white;"><span style="color: black;"></span><span style="color: black;"></span><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="color: white;">One of the workshops saw Jay bring in his grandfathers Stanley no4 plane, it had seen better days but wasn't too far away from us giving it a slight restoration. Jay got on with sharpening the iron, while I worked on the slightly rusted sole. Anyhow, we got it done.. it was used that day, for planing and squaring up the timber that later, Jay jointed... how great is that. So its really good to be able to bring back some of these tools that get handed down, or picked up from markets or flea markets, yard sales or car boots, and that's a great bit of recycling too. Not just that, these old tools at normal lower prices can be so much better than new tools, when you really get into it (I suppose I am a little into it) then the tools can be worth a lot more cleaned up than new high end tools from top manufacturers not just in ££'s. But in the quality of the steel, the flatness of a plane sole, the keen edge of a laminated iron or chisel.. So it's all good, I get to share and students get to learn.. but we both learn really.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="color: white;">Now.... bang up to date.. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="color: white;"><span style="color: black;"></span><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="color: white;">We have done three #WoodworkingSocial nights. Wednesday and Thursday nights from 6pm.. Its taken me so long to put this into practice. Its too easy to get these things wrong... and that's the last thing that I want to do.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="color: white;"><b></b><i></i><u></u><sub></sub><sup></sup><strike></strike><span style="color: black;"></span><span style="color: black;"></span><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="color: white;">Firstly its about the exchange of knowledge... I wanted to not only teach, but share facts, experiences and it be a great learning environment. That's not going to happen if people are paying for just their place in the workshop. It needs to be flexible, so if I wanted to show something that I think they could be interested in, or learn from, they knew that it wasn't really going to eat into their time... and it would be like me demonstrating something. Which could be a whole other lesson, but here it is.. in front of you now.. so just relax and go with it. To do woodworking as a hobby is to relax and enjoy the process, it takes practice and the more you see great things happening around you, the more this will inspire you to be more creative.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="color: white;"><span style="color: black;"></span><span style="color: black;"></span><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="color: white;">Secondly... this crazy life we live in now.. it needed to be flexible.. over two nights... you can do one night or the other, that way if you missed one for some reason, you wouldn't lose a night in that month, just dip into the other nights class... </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="color: white;"><span style="color: black;"></span><span style="color: black;"></span><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="color: white;">But then what time do we start.. people work all sorts of hours and then the drive to my workshop can take... oh forever. So here it is, 2 hours workshop and a three hour window to do the woodwork... and if things are going really well... well another few minutes just to not leave something half done. That's a great feeling and good for creativity to get to a certain point and be able to pack up, knowing that next time I can carry on from this point.. no stress, enjoy the process.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="color: white;"><span style="color: black;"></span><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="color: white;">That's it for now.. i've got a couple of images to share on here at some point.</span></div>

Nearly two years since I last posted anything on here.<br />
<br />
The last couple of years have probably been the worst and yet the best so far in my workshop life. I can't really pin-point the time or when things started to go off in a direction that didn't suit me. But I found that something wasn't quite right. However, this year has been a real improvement.<br />
<br />
And here's why.. Attitude<br />
<br />
I've just gone for it, and every job has had more time spent on it despite budget, every piece is the next piece of promotion not only of what I can make, but also to promote the person or business involved.<br />
<br />
<br />
There's a saying I used to hear when someone was doing top quality work.. 'like a job in the town' meaning that the work in the town was of a higher quality than that in the countryside. I've taken that and pushed it higher.. 'Like a job in the City' .. even better and then putting images on.<br />
<br />
Twitter..<br />
<br />
So much more than just another medium to natter on, I've met some wonderful people who follow me and some I follow back. I don't and can't follow them all, but they make a big difference, some of them are like your neighbour from down the road, who knows all sorts of things and are a wealth of knowledge and a great chat too. Others are people who bring knowledge into our homes through books, magazines, the internet, radio and the television. Right now, this.. is really a wonderful period in time. Make the most of what's available and enjoy... I don't think that I enjoyed the blog, I always had to build up to doing the posts and then loading images. Whereas Twitter is quick and easy, and you cant say too much.. whoop, whoop.. 140 characters is wonderful.<br />
<br />
Then there's Instagram.. Like a mini blog but based on images.. write nothing, a little or a lot and people can read as much as they want. A brilliant idea that gets seen by anyone around the world. The language doesn't matter, its all in those images. I love using it.<br />
<br />
So my attitude to my blogging needs to change, less details of how I design and make things, that won't be easy for me as I like sharing, the problem there is that if I give too much detail, it makes my work easier to copy, and I don't need that. Then, there are hundreds of people doing YouTube videos of 'how to..' and who knows maybe that will be on the cards one day. But I really need an online place where the Non-Twitter and Non-Instagramers can find me and see my work.<br />
<br />
So I find I love the sharing and feedback on the social media. Whereas on the blog every comment has to be moderated. This saves strange comments being put below a piece, and believe me I've had some strange comments.<br />
<br />
Finally..<br />
<br />
Expect more blog posts and less detail of 'how to' and communicate more.. How does that sound ?<br />
<br />
cheers<br />
<br />
Jamie<br />

This lovely camera came into my workshop on the last day of my exhibition..<br />
<br />
Jo had been taking photographs with it in the courtyard in the centre of our site. When there was a gust of wind, and it toppled over on its tripod and went down to the ground. One of the tech guys had been to see my exhibition a few minutes before and handed my business card to her and said this guy could probably fix it. When Jo brought it in to me she put it on one of the benches with just a few screws.. we discussed for a minute. I then asked my Chloe to go with Jo and see if she could find any more screws, as there were loads missing from the bent up brass-ware. Chloe came back with even more, which was great as they were really tiny.<br />
<br />
Well, I'd not done one before, but it was brilliant to get my hands on it and take it from a pile of bits back to better than it was before..<br />
<br />
<br />
Here are some pictures and details<br />

This is how I first saw this wonderful old camera.<br />
Just look at it closely, hinges ripped out, brass metal runners bent up, ripped out screw holes everywhere.. Mahogany just badly damaged. Tiny dovetails split out and ruined.<br />
The only really good thing was the lens was not damaged at all.. and luckily the rear glass plate had not got damaged or the lens suffered too.. I know, after falling from over a metre off the floor (Tarmac) !! amazing really.<br />
<br />

As I mentioned earlier, I have never really had my hands on one of these in good condition, so to have one broken and not really sure how it all works, was a little scary.<br />
<br />
But all I had to do was only problem at a time, and the woodwork was without doubt the only place to start.<br />
<br />
The photo to the left shows the hinges on this side piece were very slightly bent, it didn't close at all, and I could'nt just force it. It was about taking steps backwards to move forwards. These hinges had to be straightened up by 1mm. Then it worked.<br />
<br />
<br />
Notice too. The bent piece of 'guide' brass in the background these were bent and screws ripped out of holes. Each piece of brass removed, straightened. The holes filled and re-drilled, then all screwed back together.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />

<br />
This part I was lucky with. Notice the first gear on the end of the rack right next to the hinge. See how it was bent over. Well the pinion would not go over this part, so I took it off, turned it around and..<br />
hey-presto it worked, even the screw holes were in exactly the right place.<br />
<br />
The hinge here had to be removed later on as it was slightly bent too.<br />
<br />
The guide piece is to the left, this was before polishing up. Polished up not just to clean and look shiny, but to get years of grease and muck off it.<br />
<br />
Notice to the left and right of the hinge, that the Mahogany is beveled at 45 degrees to allow the hinge to work correctly. Dont forget the rack and pinion has to still work running over that joint. A great piece of engineering.<br />
<br />

<br />
This is the before photo of the gearing for the rear part of the camera to mechanically move to and from the lens.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Notice all of the dust and oil in between the gears.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Also the brass strip to the right, this allows the carriage to move without too much play, without this the carriage would just fall off.<br />

<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Here's the opposite side after I have cleaned the gearing out, straightened the brass strip, filled any of the screw holes that were ripped out, and re-fitted the screws. And there were 27 screws 'ripped out'.<br />
<br />

<br />
Each had to have the hole filled with a small slither of wood, glued into place, trimmed flush and then the brass pieces screwed back on. A time consuming job, but one that needed to be done properly.<br />

This image shows the side piece removed to get at some of the other damage. The piece removed is in the background.<br />
<br />
<br />
The brass plate in the bottom of the shot holds the moving carriage, this was bent all over the place. I clamped it up between two pieces of wood with leather to stop any damage to the brass patina.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
You can clearly see now how the brass end plate tucks under the brass runner plate. The knob on the other side (out of shot) turns the pinion, this engages with the rack and slides fore and aft.<br />

This was after I had removed the bellows. They were<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
I couldn't understand why the carriage part was not working its way to the front of the camera.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Then I noticed that 'T-nut' in the base was catching the bottom of the carriage. It was about 2mm proud of the surface. It had been added so that the camera could be used on a tripod.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />

I removed it carefully.. wasn't easy as it was clamped in and some glue was around it.. and those barbs really do grip well.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Anyhow I recessed it in another couple of millimeters then clamped it back in the same barbed holes. Careful that it couldn't come through the base.<br />
<br />

Here it is with a hardwood block on the inside...<br />

The hole was already a bit chewed up. So I was doing my best to keep it as tidy as possible.<br />
<br />
<br />

I put some epoxy mixed with some Brown pigments to fill the hole and to provide a little more support.<br />

This was to hold the two parts together while the bellows dried overnight.<br />

After I had repaired the remaining woodwork problems, I gave it all a clean down with my reviver. After that each piece of the woodwork was given at least two coats of French Polish<br />

I didn't fill the damaged wood, just glued the splits and realigned them as best as possible, with the clean and polish it looks as naturally looked after as it should after 155 years.</div>

<br />
The finished camera looked great. And Jo was really pleased, because it got a lot more than just repaired, it got a full service too..<br />
<br />
I really enjoyed it, and would love to do another.<br />
<br />
All the best<br />

This job took me back a little.<br />
<br />
This is the second time I've made a Surfboard table; the last one was the <a href="http://worcestershirecabinetmaker.blogspot.co.uk/2013/06/prototype-surf-board-coffee-table.html" target="_blank">Surfboard Coffee Table</a><br />
back in June 2013 which I designed and created to expand my work.<br />
<br />
This one is a world away from that one; at 3 metres long (10ft) and a very high 110cm tall (43<span style="font-size: xx-small;">1/2</span>").. it's much bigger, which was the initial brief from Sketch Studios.<br />
<br />
The only way that I felt the Surfboard would look right, was if it was a 1950's style longboard, with quite a traditional look, sitting on the trestles or bench that it was made and finished on.<br />
<br />
The juxtaposition of the stripey high gloss board with an old, well used and distressed frame meant the board could be complimented well. Made from Grey 'Sun bleached' timber that would work, and look great on the South coast of the UK.<br />
<br />
<br />
Normally here, I would go through how I built this seriously cool table...<br />
<br />
This time, a lot of the build was on Twitter with finer details and explanations for my followers to view. <a href="https://twitter.com/jam73e" target="_blank">https://twitter.com/jam73e</a><br />
<br />
We have taken so many photos, that when I came to edit them down, I had about thirty left and just thought I'd put loads on here for you (and me).<br />
<br />
So here you go, enjoy (by the way, new photos added at the end of the table in situ )<br />

<h4>
<span style="font-weight: normal;">I've heard so much about this Festival of Glass. The last one was in 2012,</span></h4>
<br />
Just before I first visited the <a href="http://ruskinglasscentre.co.uk/" target="_blank">Ruskin Glass Centre</a> so I missed it, and missed out apparently.<br />
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi5ttbjxxtRbOqd0z6-THVgzq01d82-N1FsVeXjxCj8YPRxArRH1aoX9sGO0tQ9rLHb2JSjbVq62BZlGk76_ncvMlvLNAvc1FTDpgHm6O9OV8gUAxVt2BaQDXGh3KMG26sLCmxeT8Mm4XzL/s1600/International+Festival+Of+Glass+-+Welcome+-+Google+Chrome_2015-04-30_17-15-41.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi5ttbjxxtRbOqd0z6-THVgzq01d82-N1FsVeXjxCj8YPRxArRH1aoX9sGO0tQ9rLHb2JSjbVq62BZlGk76_ncvMlvLNAvc1FTDpgHm6O9OV8gUAxVt2BaQDXGh3KMG26sLCmxeT8Mm4XzL/s1600/International+Festival+Of+Glass+-+Welcome+-+Google+Chrome_2015-04-30_17-15-41.jpg" height="237" width="400" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<br />
<br />
<br />
The Festival was moved from 2014 to 2015 due to more building work that would have made it harder to get around the site. So its been three years since the last one, and I was trying to think 'where do I fit into all this' ?<br />
<br />
I'm in one of the renovated old buildings, on the site of the old Webb Corbett glass factory, where glass has been made for hundreds of years. Having my workshop in the front corner of this great building. I felt that I really needed to do something to stand out from all of the glass around. People come to see shiny glass.<br />
<br />
'Would they be interested in looking at Wood' ?<br />
<br />
Firstly mine is a workshop, that I make either make or restore everything that goes through the doors, so I have machinery and benches and quite a few tools.<br />
<br />
Then, I would need more space for people to come further into my workshop. They had 20,000 visitors around a number of different sites in Stourbridge at the last Festival.<br />
I then thought that if I make more room, I need to give people more pieces to see... After a chat with a couple of friends (that were customers) I could get a few bespoke pieces back into the workshop for people to see...<br />
<br />
Then it hit me, its more of an exhibition. so why not call it that and invite people to come and see pieces that they would normally not get to see.<br />
<br />

I just loved making this wooden pram.<br />
<br />
When Helen brought me a picture of the type of pram she wanted for her little daughters 2nd birthday, like this but more handmade, in lovely wood, just natural...<br />
<br />
The way you make things... I just had to say yes.<br />
<br />

I'd got a few weeks, so I was asking around timberyards for something a little different. An old yard with loads of reclaimed wood came into mind. I went to see them and remembered that they once had a quantity of thin Elm planks that were from the end of an old barn.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I found them, tucked away under loads of other timbers, not as many as I thought.. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
So I had what was left.</div>

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
It had all been protected under a few coats of Sikkens, and this just peeled away, like peeling gloss paint from an old window that wasn't keyed up properly. So I let it dry for a while..</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I invited Helen in to see the timber and we set to working on patterns. That way we could come up with a design that would work with the doll she was making.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Made not just suit her little one's needs now, but also as time goes by, it could have the wheels and handle removed to just leave a cradle. So most of the joints are fixed, but parts can be removed for repairs if needed.</div>

This blog post has been in 'drafts' since March last year, I was going to do a photo type instruction, but just don't have the time anymore, so just a basic instruction, but feel that now would be a good time, as more and more people are recycling things. I hope you like it, if you do you can follow my blog and get updates when I publish new posts.<br />
<br />
cheers<br />

<span style="font-size: large;">A new apron</span><br />
<br />
In the workshop I'm finding that my apron of twenty years is getting more grubby, and when I'm oiling a timber bread board or serving board it's really suffering..<br />
<br />
So what to do..<br />
<br />
I don't keep rubbish, (I'm sure Lynn would disagree.. well I try not to).. but I haven't thrown a pair of jeans away for a while, and then when I was trying to work out what fabric to use for a new apron.. I thought, That's it.. jeans..I've got three pairs that were going to be used for something else...but... (I'll tell you in another post)<br />
<br />
They fit me still, with some thinning on the knees..and the length of the leg, is just right for the length of my body, for an apron.<br />
<br />
Ahh..therefore, a ten year old's jeans would suit the height of a ten year old..<br />
<br />
Simple..If you are a larger person, you need a larger apron... you have larger jeans..<br />
<br />
You have to use your old jeans. That way you get to re-use your old clothes. If there's a hole in them, then we'll cover it with a patch or a pocket. or your favourite band patch or football club<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
Right, now for my pet hates..Boyfriend jeans..I hate them, honestly girls, they were just wrong. And if anyone said you looked good in them..they were lying, I'm sorry to have to tell you that ladies. (Yes, I lied too)..</div>
<br />
And if you still have them and you're not going to wear them again... cut them up..<br />
<br />
I spent all of that Sunday working out how best to get a pair of jeans to work out as easy as possible.<br />
<br />
One pair of jeans into one apron... an apron you can wash with the work-wear or other jeans..easy<br />
<br />
<span style="text-align: center;"> So this is my first apron..</span><br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
So with minimal sewing you can achieve a pretty good apron. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
A quick 'how to' for you... </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
</div>
<ol>
<li>The centre panel and left panel are still original seams (left leg, front & back)</li>
<li>The right hand panel is the back of my right leg</li>
<li>The bottom seams are the bottom of the jeans</li>
<li>Patch pocket at the top is still in the original position (bum pocket)</li>
<li>With the waist pocket made from the front of my right leg (avoiding a hole)</li>
<li>The top seam is that seam just under the waistband...have a look, it does make sense.</li>
<li>Finally, the neck loop and waist ties are from the leftover thick seams.</li>
</ol>
go on have a go.<br />
<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<div style="text-align: left;">
All the best</div>

<br />
Steve bought this chair in for me to repair after he had fallen over and landed on top of it, easily done. And at first glance there was a fair bit to do, but not too bad.<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
Here's the finished chair.</div>

List of jobs to do.<br />
<br />
<ol>
<li>Crinoline stretcher broken joints both ends. One broke clean off at leg 'clean break', the other split from right hand end.</li>
<li>One broken stub stretcher joint (needs doweling back into crinoline stretcher)</li>
<li>One split stub stretcher at the crinoline joint (that had previously been restored) Needs a new piece of Yew scarfed in.</li>

So I started by fixing the scarf on the one end of the crinoline<br />

Using an old piece of Yew I sorted out the scarf joint.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I planned to shape some of the old timber into the shape of the new,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
this will help lose the perfectly straight joint line and blend the colours in.</div>

To get the crinoline and stub stretchers back into the sockets of the legs, I had to loosen the back legs. One of them came out quite easily, the other was a bit tighter, but what I found, was that the rear of the Elm saddled seat had lots of woodworm, the dust was just falling from the seat with each tap of the hammer.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
After Setting the legs back in place, and using sash cramps to ensure the back of the seat was going to be structurally sound and included in the glue up of the rear legs, I treated the woodworm. With a quality woodworm killer, using a syringe, I injected the fluid into every hole and crevice in the chair.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I then noticed that the seat either side had a split in the edge, just a small step in the Elm</div>

And the other side, not too sure what the yellow patch is but I left it alone.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
When the legs were out there was no evidence of a fixing screw so..</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
With no evidence of the split across the seat,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
but you can just see a crack line between the spindles.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I then decided that the chair needed all the help that I could give it. So a week or so after the woodworm treatment was dry, I used another syringe to inject a very strong resin adhesive into the old flight holes. Over 80 holes were filled, with the glue occasionally coming out through some of the other holes.. I used at least three 30ml syringes full of adhesive.. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
that's a lot of glue going down 1.5 -2mm diametre holes.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
After the adhesive was applied I then removed all drips and wiped out the adhesive from the flight holes, I was after a small dimple in each hole, that would then be a pocket for a small amount of dark wax. This would then give the appearance of very old holes that had been filled with waxing and polishing over a period of years.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
It's worked really well, and the chair is now looking great.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
After stain and polishing, then a few coats of wax polish the chair was done.</div>

<br />
It's been an interesting year. I managed to get myself a workshop within The Ruskin Glass Center part of the Ruskin Mill Trust set-up..<br />
<br />
I spent a little while getting things set up.. Benches and tables to be made, some organising of the workshop space and getting to chat to some of the visitors to the center. With just a few jobs to do for people, the work started to come in, with a few of my college pieces on show and other jobs on the go, I'ts easy for visitors to see what I can do. With more work going on my blog, then came work from all over the UK..and my work started to go oversees too..wow<br />
<br />
I'm still in my first year, but I have made an impact on the center and with others on the internet, and through Interior designers and stylists..<br />
<br />
I restore, re-make, re-build, re-use, recycle.. re ..all of it.. I just make things using wood and any other medium..and I love doing it. If I keep doing what I have been doing, and keep going in the direction that I want to go in, then I believe I will make a very successful little workshop, where I will be happy to work and people will be happy to visit and trust me with their pieces.<br />
<br />
I really look forward to 2014, It will be one of more interesting commissions, more projects that I have on my todo list, and more one-off pieces that go into peoples homes, catalogs and magazines..<br />

<br />
Last night I attended the opening of the King Edwards's School First World War exhibition.<br />
<br />
Invited because I, with young Tom Oakes (my apprentice for the next year) have built Oak display cabinets for the exhibition held in their beautiful <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Augustus_Pugin" target="_blank">Pugin</a> chapel.<br />
<br />
The initial phase of the exhibition focuses on the early stages of the conflict and the raising of the Birmingham City Battalions. Over the next four years the literature and artifacts will be refreshed to reflect on the anniversaries of landmark events and more personal stories of the 1,411 who served in the war.<br />
So the cabinets will only be opened and 'set' occasionally, and the top 'Crest' rail is removable in order to slide in new panels. And simple, so that when you are viewing the artifacts, there are no distractions for the viewer.<br />
<br />
Here are a few pictures from the opening night...<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The Alter has been transformed into a viewing area and made more comfortable using two of the old pews from the chapel. This is all so well thought out.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
During the evening the Chief Master introduced and pressed the button for the first time on the documentary film about the experiences of JRR Tolkien and his closest friends in and around the time of the First World War. The documentary was produced by Elliot and Zander Weaver, both Old Edwardians, I learn't so much from it, so compelling... It was quite hard to watch at some points, what the soldiers went through was terrible.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Zander and Elliot, you have done your school proud.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="text-align: center;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="text-align: left;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="text-align: left;">After viewing the documentary, I chatted with the </span>Chief Master, John Claughton who beat me to it when he said that Pugin himself would have designed the cabinets with that detail if it could have been made in that way. He also told me about some other Pugin work within the school that I would like to see. Very generously he was willing to show Tom and I around parts of the school to see some stunning work.. It was beautiful.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="text-align: center;">Then it was a short walk to the performing arts centre for a </span>reception where drinks and canapes were served, with a warm welcoming speech from the Chief Master, who then went on to tell more details of the guests. Including a lovely anecdote about my viewing some of the Pugin furniture just ten minutes before and some very complimentary words about the cabinets.</div>

When Simon Meddings and I had our first design meeting in this beautiful space, The curved lines of the Equilateral Arches or the 'Ogees' were wonderful and I felt that we had an opportunity to use this wonderful feature in the design. We needed legs and some timber rising in the centre section to hold the panels with all the information. The design you can see in the photos was going to happen, with lots of laminating... We agreed that we should use all of the vertical lines in the stonework, mullions and leaded windows, and bring those lines down onto the York stone flags.. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
I needed to add some structure to the bottom of those centre Arch laminated legs. So I suggested they share the same layout with rails and stretchers as the Alter table. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
Simon can seriously draw well, so as I was rough sketching ideas, Simon was making the sketches look wonderful, to better scale and perspective. I can see it in my head, but getting it down on paper is not as easy as I would like.. More practice for me then...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
A lot more to follow as I sort through the photographs.</div>

Not my idea to make the Star.. but a follower on Twitter asked if I could make one for her..<br />
Within and hour or so, and following an ideas packed phone call.. I came up with the workshop..<br />
<br />
It suits everyone, I get all the parts, you make it in my workshop, surrounded by tools to do the job. Then you get to take it home at the end of the day..<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">The Star light workshop</span></div>
<br />
<br />
This one day
workshop is designed for you to experience making something in wood, without the need for complicated joints.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
You will gain
experience using traditional hand tools and some power tools to create your very own
Star light. Then you can paint or decorate it in any style that you chose..Aged, distressed, glossed, covered in fabric, glitter, bottle tops, buttons.. cover in your favourite wrapping paper..<br />
<br />
The possibilities are endless.. and no two will be alike..</div>

Matt and I had a chat a little while ago, about a piece of 'upcycled' furniture to fit in the master bedroom, of the lovely old mill where he and his family live. The idea was to have a chest of drawers that would be covered in different 'off-cuts' and timbers to create a truly unique piece of furniture.</div>
<div>
When he came to my workshop to see what I had found, there was a slight change in direction.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
"Can you make me a dressing table for Cathy first..forget about the drawers for a bit"</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
So I went through a few Fine Woodworking Design books with him.. and he was "yes.. like this"</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
To give them some inspiration, I lent Matt a couple of design books to show his children, I also asked them to write down what Mom does at her current dressing table.. What they came back with was amazing..</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
A list of requirements..</div>
<div>
<ul>
<li>Somewhere for hairdryer and jewellery, and her 'stuff'</li>
<li>She puts her hair straighteners on the floor.. "can you make somewhere for them, please"</li>
<li>She wears bangles, "what about keys, fob watch, rings" Says Rui</li>
<li>Prosecco, "somewhere for a bottle of wine"</li>
</ul>
The list went on.. and on .. and on..</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
we chatted. The next time they came <b>"Alice In Wonderland" </b></div>
<div>
<b><br /></b></div>
<div>
"Blimey.. I was just so excited by this.. crikey.. This we could go Mad with this.. " and Matt and I did..We drew and scribbled..</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
A few days later, I went over to their beautiful old Mill, to see the space.. the light. To get an idea of what they like, what they have around.. Matt likes thing that are very different. Over a coffee, in their kitchen he started to sketch some ideas, " can you make this" he'd say.. " yeah that sounds great, I could do this or that" etc.. just a great design review. I left with lots of 'scribbles'</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Inspiration I got from old books, the internet, and tattoo's</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Here are some that made me think.. </div>

I started this blog post a while ago, but felt unsure about putting it on here, but they are quick and fun to do..<br />
<br />
If you follow me on Twitter, you may have seen these already.<br />
<br />

<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
These pallet coasters I made from Ice cream sticks, I've been using the sticks for applying and removing glue for ages now, but the collection of sticks seems to grow quicker than I can use them.. So I made the pallet coaster as a perfect 'second use' item, I just wash them in warm water as I clean up my coffee and tea cups.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
After making these two, I was thinking of what other wooden sticks could have a second purpose.. then it hit me.. coffee sticks, as I was in the cafe at The Ruskin Glass Centre, where I have my workshop. They have a small table top bin, for sugar wrappers and these sticks.. lots of them..</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<br />
Now, I see people making these out of <i>new wood</i> and selling them for all sorts of money.. £20.00 for four, just Google it and see.. new wood, at least these are made from used sticks about to be thrown away..<br />
<br />
This to me is madness.. what's happened to using spoons anyway ..<br />
<br />
Anyhow, while they are still around I'll make them with the students from the <a href="http://rmt.org/glasshouse/#.VAWIu_ldXo4" target="_blank">Glasshouse college</a>. I have a couple of work experience sessions each week with a student and this type of item gets them to focus on what they are doing. It takes me a few minutes to make one, it can take a student a lot longer than that. But it also helps the student with where to put their cup when we have a cup of tea. Because they then have an association with the item.<br />
<br />
So, over the next few photos I'm going to show you how to make them. But you<b> </b>must use used (and wash them properly) and if you are pleased with them, send me a pic and I'll put it on here after the instruction.<br />
<br />
<h4>
Here goes</h4>
<div>
And read through it all first</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
You will need</div>
<div>
<ul>
<li>16 Sticks to make one pallet</li>
<li>PVA or white glue</li>
<li>9 blocks to fit the width of your sticks (can be made up of small squares of extra sticks glued together)</li>
<li>Heavy weight (I used a brick)</li>
<li>A saw of some type preferably with as few teeth as possible</li>
<li>Some sandpaper, fine grade will do</li>
</ul>
</div>
<div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Start with 13 sticks as shown. Try to use the straightest you have</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The bent ones can be used for underneath.. </div>

Place the first stick onto the glue. Then place 5 more sticks next to it as shown. </div>

I put the next stick to be glued down, a stick width away from the last one, </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
this leaves me a gap to put the glue. Place the 7th stick onto the glue.</div>

Remove weight, and take out the spacing sticks. That last one has a little glue on it, </div>

..except it was one drawer too tall..<br />
<br />
<br />
I had been told that they wanted some shelves, and have the wood to make them. So we went to see them, first to view the space where these shelves were going to fit, secondly, to see the wood, and thirdly to have a look at Julies wonderful collection of Salt & Pepper pots.<br />
<br />
And what a collection..<br />
<br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
Just a few of Julies collection of Salt & Pepper pots..</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<br />
Then I saw the images she had printed off, they were different.. with angles, not horizontal etc.. as we discussed it we started laying out some ideas that would work with the cruet sets.<br />
<br />
I was going to make about six horizontal shelves, using different thickness parts of the drawer. With 'uprights' in a fan shape, supporting the shelves.. nothing uniform.. just a spot of wonderful, random madness, that would suit some of the pieces going on the shelf unit.<br />
The drawer was from a new chest of drawers that Mark had cut down and sorted out, all I had to do was take the spare drawer, Julies ideas and turn them into reality.<br />
<br />
and that was it..<br />
<br />

I just need to get them over to Julie, and maybe get a photo of them with her collection set out on display.</div>

Its wonderful that Julie and Mark could see past the drawer as a box and come up with something quite unique, from what could very easily been thrown away ..</div>

Not many photos either.. I really needed to publish it to clear out the drafts folder.<br />

July 2013.<br />
<br />
It started with an accident..<br />
<br />
We went to an awards ceremony at our local school. And during this special night where students were getting recognition for their hard work and effort, someone dropped one of the awards..a glass one..and yes it broke into two pieces..<br />
<br />
In the Ruskin Glass Centre, where my workshop is. We have one of the countrys best glass repairers, Richard, who very kindly repaired it in record time for me ..(considering he has a very long waiting list, and people come from all over for him to do their repairs. Well the best is worth waiting for).<br />
<br />
On return of the award, the music teacher Michaela asked if I would be interested in making a very special award for a very special prize. It was to be for Outstanding Contribution to Music..<br />
<br />
One evening I went to school after the children had all gone home, Michaela had already got the idea of what she wanted, we just had to discuss design,size, scale and timbers etc.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />

with the small loop around the G (second line up)</div>

Here the drawing is printed off and stuck onto the Mahogany. I've had to thicken up where the wood will be short grain. This will give the piece strength where it would normally be weak..so it's a must really, but will add to the piece by appearing to be as a nibbed pen would write.. The base part is drawn out, with size of the brass plate chosen and noted. From this front view, lines were transferred around the piece for the staves.</div>

<br />
My first time and thoughts of this very high profile, top event of the year..<br />
<br />
<br />
A couple of times I've heard about this event. "Why aren't you going, Jamie..." <br />
"You must go..." "It's just the best event..." "..The work and the quality.." "...ooh this and ooh that.."<br />
<br />
Okay... I get it.. thank you..<br />
<br />
<br />
I was chatting to Vic Bamforth, and then up came the Art in Action event again.. That was it, when Vic said he was going and if I wanted to go..I just had to.<br />
<br />
Not an early start, got there around 10:30 (it opened at 10am) and to the most unusual parking system I've ever seen, but more on that later.<br />
<br />
It was seen that the day was going to be the hottest of the year, and it was living up to the radio and TV hype..one word ... HOT.. or two REALLY HOT..<br />
<br />
The map we had from their website was very useful, showing places to eat and the different marquees, in alphabetical and numerical order (someone had done this before, it made it so easy to get around)<br />
The food and drink stalls were brilliantly positioned, so when we needed a drink, we didn't have to go far.. and the food was fabulous Red onion and Tomato on a beautiful Ciabatta bread, with Elderflower juice.<br />
<br />
First stop for us was the Glass tent, this was Vics area of expertise, and it was great to be introduced to some of his old friends and some of the Glassblowers that I have met at the Ruskin Glass Centre, who have used the blowing studio.<br />
<br />

So that was great to walk around the tent with so much fabulous glass on show, and the quality was exceptional, I was blown away by some of the work, trying to get your head around how it was done...</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
(yeah, can't help it, I just feel the need to understand some of the process, then it all makes sense) </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
I do appreciate the beauty first..</div>

Oh, one last thing. Did I mention the car parking. Well It was a little mad, I've only ever parked like that when I've had to park on a ferry. Yes.. parallel parking, our whole line was wrong and we had to all reverse back n forward to get closer to the line next to us.. A big concern, no but in those temperatures, we could have been in the event quicker and maybe the road wouldn't have been so blocked up with traffic as we were coming on to the site.</div>

<br />
A certain amount of free reins on the design of the box but some notes..<br />
<br />
<ul>
<li>It must have a very good quality finish.</li>
<li>The spoon has to sit inside and be protected...</li>
<li>What do we do with the lid..? Hinges means the lid would have to be supported.. Loose means it can be lost or misplaced.</li>
<li>Simple, clean lines</li>
</ul>

So it was bound to happen.. Glass Blowers blocks</h4>
<br />
My workshop is in the heart of the glass making industry for the last few hundred years, Stourbridge. in the West Midlands. And now there are glass blowers and glass artists here, rather than the old big firms .. <a href="http://www.stourbridge.com/stourbridge_glass.htm" target="_blank">link to brief history of Stourbridge glassmaking</a><br />
<br />
I'm inside the <a href="http://ruskinglasscentre.co.uk/" target="_blank">Ruskin Glass Centre</a>, an old factory building of Webb Corbett and within a hundred yards or so are a number of glassblowers who either work for themselves or within the <a href="http://rmt.org/glasshouse/#.U5QguvldVCY" target="_blank">Glass House College</a><br />
making and teaching glass blowing.<br />
<br />
One of the staff of the college asked me if I could make a block.. one of the tools used to shape and even out some of the lumps and bumps in the process of blowing the glass..<br />
<br />
He had a couple of Cherry tree logs for me to use and they were getting low on these tools.<br />

Here's one being used, the glass is on the end of the iron, which is rotated on the rails of the bench.</div>

I love making tools, and to make one that has nothing to do with woodworking is a little different..</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
But chatting to those around me, I got a feel for what was needed... Oh.. and no one could show me a block in perfect new condition, because from the first time that you 'burn in' the tool, it starts to get worn out..</div>

I took it round to show the guys. Even with the finish on the inside of the bowl straight from a gouge, </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
they said it was like a Rolls Royce version.. and I didn't need to shape the outside so well.. oh, and don't bother with the decoration around the handle.. (this was already on the chair leg) so it was a freebie..</div>

<br />
He was after a box to carry around and to protect the glass trophy, a 'loving cup' and cover, with a plinth. These were not necessarily the most expensive of items, but have become a symbol of worth, of value.<br />
<br />

<br />
The Brief:<br />
<br />
So, where to start.. no design, no real instruction of how or preferences...<br />
<br />
"Just make a lovely box, instead of this cardboard box that it doesn't all fit into anyway"<br />
<br />
I'd got some American White Oak planks, and some hinges, locks and handles in stock..just for this size of box..<br />

Instead of raising the panel with a plane, router or spindle moulder, I chose to carve it and leave a hand worked textured finish...</div>

There can be no stress in the box or once the lid is cut off the box or lid could be distorted.</div>
