Interview du constructeur horloger Jean-Marc Wiederrecht de la société d'horlogerie Agenhor. 04.03.2014 | Dans cet article je vais vous présenter cette petite marque Suisse assez méconnue et deux de leurs modèles. « Zeitwinkel » signifie en allemand « angle horaire », une mesure qui sert à calculer l’« heure locale vraie », c’est-à-dire l’heure mesurée en un certain lieu avec un cadran solaire.

Nicholson Saw Files at The Best Things. Nicholson Saw Files With the resurgence of traditional woodworking, many people are rediscovering hand saws. In talking with customers, we have found that most of them have not started sharpening their own saws. This is the next step. Machine sharpened saws are not the same as hand filed, and we highly recommend that you learn to sharpen your own saws for cabinetmaking. The first step is of course acquiring the right files.

A Welcome Visit Today started out pretty much like every other Saturday - head down the highway and teach an upgrading class to my Carpenter and Carpenter Apprentice students. Today's class is Trim.

The students are milling their own mouldings and installing it. This morning was a little different though. I had a visit from Cabinet Maker/Boat Maker Tom Fidgen. Tom has a book coming out later this year - so keep your eyes open. Any way, back to the visit. I made a new wedge for him and set him up with some Mathieson blades that would work for him. Why you might ask, didn’t I just make a new plane for Tom? If you are interested here are a few of the current makers: Canada Lee Valley Tools www.leevalley.com - Canada’s premier plane and tool line. D. Clark & Williams www.planemaker.com - I own three and expect that my grandchildren will be using these exceptional planes. Wenzloff Saws www.wenzloffandsons.com - When you have that many orders for saws, do I really need to say how nice they are.

Dan. Roubo In Hi Res. I've spent the last few months poring over hi-res images of Roubo's L'Art Du Menuisier. What's fascinating about these books is the sheer vastitude of content that Roubo covered. Everything from basic geometry to the workings of Venetian (or is it Parisian?) Blinds. There's even a detailed drawing for a collapsible, portable bed. Like many interested in traditional woodwork, I'd love to have an original copy of Roubo's "L'Art Du Menuisier". Until I find a set at a local French estate sale, my best source for these incredible engravings is the New York Public Library's Digital Gallery. I'm looking forward to reading Roubo's work in English, soon to be published in a modern translation by those well-versed in traditional woodwork.

The Origins of Tatara Next, let's look into the etymology of the word tatara. While we still can't be entirely certain, the word in fact seems to be of foreign origin. In the Kojiki (“Records of Ancient Matters”), the oldest of Japan's mytho-histories dating to C.E. 712, we are told that the place where negotiations with the ancient Korean dynasties of Kudara (Paekche) and Shiragi (Silla) took place is referred to as “Tatara-ba” or “Tatara-tsu.” This being the case, it could be the word tatara came to Japan from the Korean Peninsula along with the transmission of iron-manufacturing technology.

The word can also mean “to add more heat,” according to linguist Pak Byon-guk, if one interprets tatara on the basis of ancient Korean. However, the independent scholar Kurao Kubota wonders if the word might have been a corruption of the Tartar word tatatoru, which means “roaring flames.” THE RICHARD AVEDON FOUNDATION.
