Hello, my name is Jeff Novak and I've spent 35 years in carpentry. About 26 of those years I have made furniture and cabinets for customers, family and friends. I like to talk about the tools I use, the methods and the struggle to make a living doing something you love. In the last three years I've become almost obsessed with how struggling craft people can achieve more with less. Less power tools and more hand tools, less space, less expensive materials, less dust and noise, etc etc. I hope you find something here that gives you ideas, entertains you, and helps you solve problems as you go through your struggle to create and work in our troublesome times.
The 98 cent woodworking awl
Traditionally called a birdcage awl, this tool has enormous use in my shop as a pre-drilling and pre-screwdriving tool. It's so much better than a standard scratch awl for woodworking. I also use it for marking holes and layout points. So useful, but nowhere to be found unless you order one. Make the tool from a 98 cent screwdriver in minutes and you'll wonder how you've done without one until now.

Disston D23 hand saw and info...

The D23 Disston model poses a great value with impressive cutting and decent pricing on ebay. For many folks, this saw could last the rest of your life and is easily sharpened and set, even in the fine 11PT version in this video. Not a premium saw, but still a very respectable performer and everyday workhorse saw for those who like hand tool sawing.

XMAS ORNAMENTS FOR BEGINNING CARVERS
Просмотров 13 тыс.7 лет назад
IF YOU HAVEN'T ALREADY...you need to dabble in carving. You may have a true artist in you and you deserve to find out if you do. I am not a great carver, but I continue to experiment when I have down time and it has broadened my understanding of wood. Few things are more enjoyable than the feeling of success when something turns out well or at least in the direction you wanted to go.

ARE WHEEL GAUGES REALLY BETTER MARKING GAUGES?
Просмотров 34 тыс.8 лет назад

I designed and made this guide over 8 years ago and I think I've proven by now it's an awesome and useful tool. I have ripped hundreds of sheets of veneer plywood with this guide with great results.

The Easy (but difficult) Saw Horse
Просмотров 29 тыс.8 лет назад
Here I make the easy/hard saw horse. I love this design, but probably wouldn't make it when I have nothing to work from already. If I have other old horses or a bench or anything, then I would make these since they are perhaps my new favorite for horses. They are strong, cheap, and stack better than my old standby set.

There's a thousand sawhorse designs out there. Some seem like they require a shop, workbench, and engineering degree to build. These are a quick, low cost, and easy design I've used for almost 30 years. Most importantly they really are strong for their weight and perform great.
