Reproduction Stickley hardware #3

I thought after the last Reproduction Stickley hardware entry that I was done with the subject.  But, found one more set of instructions on how to roll your own Hand-Hammered Copper hardware.  The first entry I did on this topic had a link to a different guide.  Personally, I think they are both worth reading.  The lead picture from the article is shown at the left.  I sure hope this constitutes Fair Use as my only purpose in displaying it is to tempt you into reading This Great Article on the American Woodworker Magazine website on how to make the hardware for yourself!  Hammer Your Own Copper Hardware by  David Olson is well worth reading, as is the companion article by Randy Johnson on building a Stickley style chest of drawers.  Yes, to get these results a fair bit of work is going to be required, but, I think worth trying, at least once.

Great article on how best to use your hand-held belt sander

This online article about using hand-held belt sanders on American Woodworker Magazine's website by Tom Caspar says it all, I don't have anything to add:

If you use a belt sander, it is worth your time to read it.  I know that when I next buy a large sander, it will be one with a sanding frame.  Until then, these tips will help make "Mr. Dusty" a lot more useful!
