About my blogging
Posted By WoodWorker on July 5, 2010
Few days back I started a sub section of my woodwork collection blog: Erotic Woodwork
I had this idea for about half a year, but never had the will or time to carry it out.
There I present a beautiful woodwork examples, that I found on the internet and I make few humorous posts that are related to woodworking.
These works of art and the jokes are for adults only !
So check this site out by clicking on those lovely lady’s
Finished brush stem or mop handle
Posted By WoodWorker on April 15, 2010
Finally I got time to finish my brush stem and make a little blog entry.
Here are few pictures of the finished product:

My colleagues could not understand why I do it, they said, “Go into a shop and buy one”.
But I am woodworker and I’d like to make it by myself.
Update on my crest stem
Posted By WoodWorker on April 3, 2010
I sacrificed my lunch to do some more operations on my new crest stem.
Since this was my first time to make handcut dovetails, I make an error on first marking, I was rushing and not thinking clearly.
wrongly marked dovetail
properly marked dovetail
And now after the dovetail was cut and joined ( unfortunately, I do not have the right tools , that is why it is not too nicely done ).
joined cross dovetail
after milling
And now , if You interested , how the cross dovetail was made , here is a picture which explains it:

Start of a one more crest stem

Today I went to work one hour earlier and used half of the lunch to start a new crest stem.
Some of the wood blanks I had already selected earlier. It takes a lot of time to choose from pile of scraps whits particular piece of wood to use .
So , here are all pieces ready for glue up:
Ready for glue up
And here are the blank glued:
And here the blank when glue was dry:
after glue up
I used 10mm sticks to make waves, however, the effect would have been better if I used at least 15mm sticks, next time I will.
Mop handle with a twist
Posted By WoodWorker on March 20, 2010
I have long been fed up with these broom stem breakages , so I decided to make one unbreakable mop stick by myself.
I have a lot of wood and veneer scraps, so I picked some:
When I made the gluing , I thought that I shall give it a little twist:
After that I used several different hand and power tools to get the billet rounded.
And then a lot of sanding on lathe:
And finally here it is, a really strong mop handle with a twist :
Woodwork humour

You know you’re a woodworker if/when:
1. You know the wood species of each of the splinters in your hands.
2. You line up your splinters after removing them from your hands and try to identify them.
3. when driving the wife wants you to look at a nice house and all you see is the trees around it.
4. You cut a huge gash in your thumb with a chisel and instead of being concerned about the blood spilling from the wound, you’re proud that you honed the chisel to razor-sharp. At least the cut will heal faster!
5. You dream about tools, sometimes even daydream.
