Woodworking around the world

When I posted Alain's French/English clamp rack video last week, I mentioned that there seemed to be serious lack of woodworking on the web in French. Well Nicolas, set me straight and let me know about his French woodworking site "Friend of Woodchips". Some cool stuff and some really fun videos!

Then I heard from Manuel in France. Check out his web site too. (I use Chrome, and Google seems to to a pretty good job translating web pages, BTW.)

Manuel also clued me onto this spectacular router table video from a Russian woodworker. It even converts into a horizontal router table!

Speaking of routers, it's always fun to hop over to England and see what Alex Harris is up to. Check out this router lathe he made. The whole project is simply beautiful.

  1. rather than the square-face rod to follow the pattern, maybe a small ball-bearing on the end?

    very nice design and very nice job on finishing the vase!

    thank you!

    The rod looked to be the same diameter as the bit. You would need bolth a smaller rod and a smaller bit to get more detail.
