I just installed a Shelix head on my 12" NF Medium. Just finished restoring the entire machine in fact. I've been using a 12" Shelix on my 10" Oliver for about 3 years now and I will never go to back...

Still use them about every day and they still work and seal like the day I installed them. Very satisfied. Hank Knight just finished an install with them, and incorporated some micro-switches to turn...
It won't be too unbearable Ashwini. We shipped your vise today. Hope you enjoy it. :)
I don't yet have a complete set, but I do have the prototype for almost every size since I helped the folks at Czeck Edge design this chisel.
I do a lot of inlay and smaller scale work, and these...
Congrats Bill!
Great bench John. I like that you added some decorative elements to the often plain style that these types of benches tend towards. I wish you many years of satisfying and productive woodworking on...
Johnny,
Thanks for posting these. I've always wondered how you make them. Next time I visit Ron, I'd love to stop and say hi! Keep up the beautiful work!
Nice job Jake. 10'. Ahhhhhh.......
Beauty! Nothing like a good bench. I love them!
There is a rather famous harpsichord builder about 30 miles from me. I saw his work once and it motivated me to want to build a harpsichord. Now I'm motivated again. But 9 months of free-time work...
What a gorgeous plane! ;)
Thanks for the further details, George. So the "chisel" isn't really cutting at all? But rather pressing a v-bottomed groove into the knife line? In other words, you're not removing any wood. I hope...
I just commented on the detail in the mouth over in your other thread George. And look what I found just below it. All I can say is, you're giving everyone here some serious pleasure George.
The detail here is just stunning. The teeth and tongue are just tiny. George, I've got to visit you someday...

Very interesting technique George. I've been brainstorming something along these lines (no pun intended!) for some time. I haven't done much work like this and am always looking for a better way. Is...
More beautiful work, George. Care to elaborate on the technique you used for inlaying the fine ebony lines below the bridge? Any closeup shots of that area?
Some more pics...
Thanks guys. I haven't been "luthing" much this year. But I did build two last year that kind of wiped me out. One was over the top, one was simple. Here are some pics.
Thanks George. Your words carry some real weight, given what you've accomplished. Your tool posts lately have been real fun for me.
Steven, thanks! I don't have showings since most of my work gets...
Ken,
This is a great read about hot hide glue compared to carpenter's glue (Titebond, Elmer's). http://www.player-care.com/hide_q-a.html
I once read that furniture from King Tut's tomb was...
Keith's videos are great, aren't they? I really enjoy watching them, as much as for his style as the content. He's told me he's planning more videos this year. I'm looking forward. I hope they will...
Awesome bench. You can't beat a Roubo!
More food from George's buffet. I'm not full yet....
That's beautiful George. And I like the overstuffing. Looks like a bearclaw donut. And I mean that as high praise! I must be hungry tonight....
George, your posts are buffets of beauty!
