I sadly speak of experience on a former project in that matter. A scrub plane going full throttle removed a bit more material than I had expected.<br />Brgds<br />JonasJonas Jensenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07787393233185454227noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3111753163359491070.post-48351316048587342852017-04-29T11:36:10.243-07:002017-04-29T11:36:10.243-07:00I will try you method for leveling backboards on m...I will try you method for leveling backboards on my next project. Seems like an effective method.<br /><br />About the viking event on Mors. I am not planning on going. My wife works at a local Viking Museum, so we mostly go there to "play vikings". And since being a viking is my wife's job, we try to not do too much viking stuff in our spare time.<br /><br />If you wan't to see me in my viking clothes, turning bowles on a pole lathe. I suggest you come to the viking event at Bork Vikingehavn 12th and 13th of august.Mikkel Frederiksenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11759266863212004872noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3111753163359491070.post-408876740654460112017-04-28T03:07:13.194-07:002017-04-28T03:07:13.194-07:00Hi Mikkel

I have found that it is an effective way for me to level back sides and bottoms of chests etc. when I build out here.<br />I just try to make sure that all nails are set well below the surface so I don't get a nick in the blade of the plane.<br /><br />By the way, I was wondering if you are coming to the Vikingemarked på Mors? It is the first time they are organiszing it, so I have no idea about it except that I know it is taking place.<br />Brgds<br />JonasJonas Jensenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07787393233185454227noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3111753163359491070.post-67927159607610217992017-04-28T01:41:04.771-07:002017-04-28T01:41:04.771-07:00Nice chest, Jonas.

Thanks for the nice comment.
I have wished ...Hi Ken<br />Thanks for the nice comment.<br />I have wished for a stamp for my birthday, so I am hoping that there will be one for me.<br /><br />Regarding the tools.<br />http://mulesaw.blogspot.no/2014/12/maritime-woodworking-tools.html<br />These are the tools that I use on board.<br />I think that you suggestion sounds very well thought out. I am limited by the weight due to travelling by airplane to get to the job, so I guess that you can take a heavier load on the motorhome than I can.<br />You will most likely need some clamps too. Quick grip type clamps are not my favourite, but they are lightweight which is kind of nice for travelling.<br />I rely on tools from the ship such as a hammer and clamps and a panel saw. I mainly use a hacksaw for all the joinery tasks too, but a real joinery saw would be better.<br /><br />I just got to thin of that if you have a trailer hitch on the motorhome, you could use that for attaching a workbench.<br />One leg from the back of a small workbench going down to hold the mushroom shaped thing (don't know the name of it). And perhaps two legs on the front. Then you would have a really sturdy bench.<br /><br />I can't remember the weight of my current kit, but I think it is somewhere around 20 Lbs.<br /><br />Brgds<br />Jonas<br />Jonas Jensenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07787393233185454227noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3111753163359491070.post-896082518553441452017-04-27T03:48:00.252-07:002017-04-27T03:48:00.252-07:00Hi Bob

The gambrel roof symbolising a family man, and the center of our family is a Newfoundland dog.<br /><br />Funny that you should mention kit building. I have played a lot with the idea of making a small DTC event with my boys, it should be made with rabbets and battens for the lid, and most parts should be made to size and shape. But I'll have to see about that when I come home.<br />Brgds<br />Jonas (who is also alone at the keyboard) :-)<br />Jonas Jensenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07787393233185454227noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3111753163359491070.post-25393867174588708942017-04-27T02:49:08.935-07:002017-04-27T02:49:08.935-07:00Jonas,

Are you going to have a stamp made?<br /><br />I guess my next question is what tools do you have to work with and how do you transport them? Full disclosure, I'm still trying to figure out my traveling kit for the motorhome.<br /><br />My thinking is a #5 with three cutter units (heavy camber, light camber, and all most straight), a low angle block plane, a router plane, a plow plane, and a wood rebate plane, a small spokeshave, a standard 4 chisel set, a two stone and strop sharpening kit, a carcass saw and panel saw, a turning saw, saw files, a pin and a wheel marking gauge, kinda short winding sticks that can serve as a straight edge, a set of dividers, a couple of knifes, and so on. My goal is o make it light enough for an OF to move without help and small enough to fit in one of the motorhome's storage bins yet allow me to work with ease. <br /><br />It looks like you have hit a sweet spot. <br /><br />ken I'm a OK guyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11843155822153452980noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3111753163359491070.post-57628021248928300412017-04-27T02:24:11.322-07:002017-04-27T02:24:11.322-07:00Nice logo, the Newfoundland dog came out especiall...Nice logo, the Newfoundland dog came out especially well.<br />I feel inspired to build two of these for my sons kits<br /><br />Bob, alone at the keyboard, Rudy went back to sleep :-)<br />Valley Woodworkerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07322487171914484954noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3111753163359491070.post-5618211397244536732017-04-27T00:18:19.102-07:002017-04-27T00:18:19.102-07:00Thanks.
