Woodcarvings by Jeffry Disko

2010-05-01T22:18:00Z

Jeffery Disko, soon to be MIT engineering graduate (class of 2010) is also an accomplished woodcarver.
One of his favorite tools is the Dremel rotary tool because of the detail it allows him to achieve.

Below are pictures of a jewelry box he recently completed, plus a pipe with a wonderfully carved bear.
Jeffery learned woodcarving from his father, who practiced the trade for 40 years.
You can view more pictures of Jeffery's carvings at his website.

Arrow Fastener and MASCO Corporation have finalized their selections for Arrow Aiming Higher – a fundraising event designed to donate to deserving local charities.

MASCO then selected three of these charities to receive $5,000 each in Arrow Fastener’s name. “It feels really good to be able to help these deserving groups, especially in times like these,” says Gary Duboff, President of Arrow Fastener.

Winners will be notified October 1st and presented with a $5,000 check from Arrow Fastener.

Tool News - "YES WE CAN?" A trammel that works!

2009-05-12T00:51:00Z

What is it in the 21st century that allows a pair of calliper compasses or Trammel heads to be so bad at drawing circles?
That is, after all, they’re one and only purpose.
The major problem is that the critical position of where you start the circle and where you finish it – The same point – Just isn’t!
Sadly in a lot of cases the 2 points never get to meet.
A mix of poor design, high center of gravity, the natural inbuilt desire for the thing to fall over and a dependency on the user having the skills and temperament of a Shaolin Monk.
All this contributes to the compass lying unused in a draw while you hunt around for a can of paint or a coffee cup to draw round, so you can just get on with the job!

M.POWER’s answer to this is The Flat Lying Trammel Head Set
A name that is as long as the solution is simple.

To be successful M.POWER’s new Trammel head design started out with a long list of “Must haves” and one “Must not”

MUST
Strike a perfect circle every time
Be a self supporting system
Have a low center of gravity for greater control
Hold the scribe point in contact with the surface at all times.
Offer an almost infinite size range from 1” to 6 ft in diameter
Clip onto a workshop staple, something ready to hand.. A steel rule?
Provide options to mark: a pencil or a hyper fine blade for high tolerance work or to just cut stuff out, Light card or veneer.

Be a piece of cake to use and nothing like what’s gone before

And absolutely must NOT be expensive.
So M.POWER has finished it and has ticked all the boxes
We hope you’ll enjoy going round and round in circles.. accurately!

The main is comprised of individual strands of yarn glued into 450+ 1/8th inch holes drilled every 1/4 of an inch up the neck and head.”
