Comments for Woodworking with Rob Millard http://americanfederalperiod.com/blog Federal Period Woodworking Wed, 18 Apr 2012 17:48:03 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.0.4 Comment on And now for something completely different. by RLMillard http://americanfederalperiod.com/blog/?p=34#comment-3293 RLMillard Wed, 18 Apr 2012 17:48:03 +0000 http://americanfederalperiod.com/blog/?p=34#comment-3293 Drew, Thank you. I'm just now putting the finishing touches on a basement work shop, so my days of working in a garage are over (if I can make the payments!). Both Jeff and Glen are great people. I've never met Jeff, but I have talked to him a couple of times. I refer to his books on finishing all the time. Glen is not only a talented woodworker, he is also funny. My stock was stored in the attached but unheated garage or the attic. Now it is stored in a detached garage. I have never had any problems with the humidity changes, nor rusting tools. Part of this may be because I work mostly with mahogany, which is a very stable wood. Rob Drew,
Thank you.

You are quite an inspiration to me.When I learned how you make such great furniture in an unheated garage shop, I thought, hey, that's me! Although I have managed to place items in a gallery, I really struggle with the craft at times. I'm self taught. Never been to a class. Learned a lot about finishing by sending Jeff Jewitt lots of emails. I am a big Glenn Huey fan. How do you deal with the temp changes/humidity in Ohio? Is your stock stored in the shop outside like mine is? Rob

Your video makes it about as plain as it can be. I can now consistently make nice shavings, even with the gooseneck scraper! Thanks for taking the time to put together these videos.
