- Cleaving Wood Part 1 (Or Making A Chair From A Tree Without Electricity Or Machine Tools, Part 4)
by Allan Fyfe. So far the tree has been felled and the trunk has been cut into suitable sections. The chair I am going to make is Project 15 in my series of furniture making projects; the back legs are actually 900mm high, so the sections of tree need only be 1m long (to allow for shakes and discolouration on the ends when dry), however I am going to play safe and go for 1100mm.

- The Island (Or Making A Chair From A Tree Without Electricity Or Machine Tools - Part 2)
by Allan Fyfe. The "Island" is the land that accompanies Lethenty Mill. It stretches from its widest part at the Mill to its narrowest about half a mile up the Lochter Burn. It used to be very important to the Mill; water was collected in a long narrow channel leading to a dam near the Mill, and it could be released into a variety of channels under and around the Mill which were arranged to feed the water to th... products, articles, news
- In Which We Get Down To Work (Making A Chair From A Tree Without Machine Tools - Part 3)
by Allan Fyfe. You may be wondering when I am going to stop daydreaming and get on with making a chair.
It's just that I know that some people are going to ask "What's the point in making furniture by hand?" and I think that it's difficult to explain, I certainly can't put it in a sentence. I have read entire books by people who have tried to answer this question ( e.g. David Pye - "The Nature and Art of Work... products, articles, news
- How to Buy a Sailboat - Part I
by Dave Bello. There is plenty of advice available on how to buy a sailboat. Unfortunately, much of it is written by those in the sailboat building or sailboat selling business - in other words, someone with a vested interest in steering you one way or another. If you have read those articles, you will quickly realize that this article is different. The suggestions contained in this article (and subsequent ones... products, articles, news
- How to Buy a Sailboat - Part II
by Dave Bello. Once you know exactly how, where and when you will use your dream boat, the next question to answer is "what are the characteristics of a boat best suited for how I will sail the boat?" I believe this question is best answered across five dimensions: Rig type, sail plan, keel type, interior accommodations and overall hull design. Many great books are available to discuss these considerations in a... products, articles, news
- American History Through The Eye Of A Needle ~ Part II
by John Wigham. Three hundred years ago the then colonies in America were inhabited largely by a European hierarchy who'd brought their lower classes with them to do the hard work. There was much mingling and intermarrying with each other and with the Indians - the farmers, the peddlers, the sailors, the little merchants, the wilderness fighters -- the first Americans...

- American History Through The Eye Of A Needle ~ Part III
by John Wigham. In typical Old World needlework, each detail is a particle of the whole; no part of the design can stand alone, whole and complete in itself. The background is solid, the pattern is formal, and a border encloses all.
American women smashed that rigid order to bits. They discarded backgrounds, they discarded borders and frames. They made the details create the whole, and they set each detail in b... products, articles, news
- American History Through The Eye Of A Needle ~ Part I
by John Wigham. More than 100 years ago at the dawn of the 20th century one of America's most distinguished authors, Rose Wilder Lane, was asked to write a report on the history and development of the needlework arts in America. Mrs Lane was the ideal writer for this worthy task being herself an expert needlewoman, historian, novelist, and essayist.
Her words gave radiance and meaning to the great needlework ca... products, articles, news
