Dette prosjektet var en gave til nevøen min på konfirmasjonsdagen hans. Brødrene mine kjøpte hagle og jeg lagde kofferten. Nå får vi håpe at de begge blir brukt rikelig. Dette var et artig prosjekt, og noe jeg gjerne kan gjøre igjen. Nå er det allerede noen som har vist interesse, og jeg tenker også  å prøve meg på en kanvas-kasse etterhvert. Disse er lettere og ser bra ut. Denne våpenkofferten er laget i tradisjonell stil (Viktoriansk?). Har man ikke lyst på det "lille ekstra" så selges det billige og gode våpenskrin/ kofferter med skumgummiinnlegg overalt. Uansett så har jeg veldig sansen for det gode gamle, og det lille ekstra. Utvendig: Lær og messing. Farget med spritbeis, og oljet med Finishing oil. Våpenkofferten er laget i mahogny og eik. Innlegget er vevd ullduk, av samme type som brukes på biljardbord. Mange tror at det er filt som brukes, men tradisjonelt er det slik duk som er brukt. The gun case is made from mahogany and oak. The li...

A new job in my shop, I'm making a case for a birch bark lure from Naturinstrumenter.no  going to Sunnmørsmuseet. Doing some box joint by hand, but I do not practise this enough! I will advise everyone to practise the different woodworking skills as much a possible, it takes practise... An update from the project in photos. Please comment or if you have any questions feel free to contact me! Finished job, all birch, inside and out! The instrument itself, birch lure.  Oiling with Finishing oil    Getting somewhere!   fitting the lure  lining the lid with wool baze usually used on sneaker tables! Gluing an instrument or gun case is hectic! The start: The humble start of a new project. Sawing and planeing on a jointer to get the material as I want it.  Laying out for measurement    using tape to have something to lay my tools against for more excact cutting. It also prevent scars on my ...

  I got a new job to extend a shot gun stock 20mm. I don't have any walnut so it is made out of Mahogany. First  job is to attach, line up and drill holes to the  buttplate.   Then I screwed it to the stock with the mahogany piece in between. To get the extension to fit I simply marked around, both the stock siden and the rump plate side. Then it was all sandpaper to get the right fit.       I  put on three strokes of dye (Liberon Edwardian mahogany) before oiling it with Liberin Finishing oil.  I also rubbed the stock with 00 steel wool, before applaying three layers with finishing oil. Remember to have a quick rub with steel wool between layers.   Three layers of Finishing oil.     The forestock is also in need of some care... Finished, didn't match the colour of the plate too well, but the fit is perfect!  

My kids playhouse called the "treehouse" is a slow, but steady build. Last year the house itself was done, and now there is only more paint and windows that are missing. The paneldoor is finally ready! I have had a couple of pine beds lying around for quite a while to be convertet into the door. Here is some pictures from this fun and not so hard woodworking project!   Almost finished, just doing the plugs to secure the panels and making the dor frame rigid and strong.   Where it all startet, an old pine bed   Putting it togheter to make adjustments to the thickness of the panel edges.   Gluing, always a terrifying exercise! It's important to make sure that the panels can "flow" freely inside the fram.
