For Y'all Barnsley Workshop, Apprentice Pieces

Edit
Here are a pair of items I made many years agone at the Barnsley Workshops. They convey resurfaced inwards our household move! These are about of their measure apprentice pieces. This oak chopping board had to move planed apartment as well as to equal thickness, marked upwards with compasses as well as shaped to a perfect octagon, all past times hand. There had to move absolutely no tear out on whatever surface, I scream upwards using i of my early on high angled smoothers which did a dandy job.
When that was done the bevels had to move paw planed as well as i time again the within octagon this created had to move perfect, measured amongst dial callipers rather than a tape! Only as well as thence would they permit you lot run the Barnsley stamp.
This deceptively uncomplicated looking stool started equally a unmarried board which i time again had to move paw planed apartment and even.
I was given a overnice slice of olive ash to piece of work with.
The legs were tenoned through the top as well as wedged. This is where I learned the technique of flaring the mortise sides to exercise a dovetail resultant inwards the finished articulation which is amazingly strong. To piece of work effectively the flare on the wedges must just check the flare of the mortises. Also the saw cuts for the wedges must move angled outwards thence that they opened upwards up easily when the wedges are fitted. This technique is fully demonstrated inwards my YouTube video, Roubo Workbench Made Easy. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cBPxhIjJy7o&t=262s
The supporting rails was also tenoned as well as wedged inwards the same manor.
This all seems fairly straight off forwards except that the legs are both angled outwards which agency the shoulders of all the tenons, through the top as well as sides, must come upwards together simultaneously. In addition the rails was mortised (bare faced) into the underside of the top. On dry out fit, I had the tiniest of gaps on the rails which would have disappeared on gum up, just this was non proficient plenty as well as I had to brand the rails again. It was then, that the concept of working to perfection, in conclusion sunk inwards as well as has stayed amongst me always since.
