Hand tool handmade wooden clogs

Whether you call it a Bowtie, a Butterfly or a dutchman (or many other names) it still does the same work to stabilize a crack in the woodwork or just to look good. this is a simple task that a lot of op people over think and it can take far less time than you think.

A router plane is an easy tool to make, and it was one of the first that I made. In this video, I go over how to make a router plane out of some scrap Cherry and some Eye Bolts. This is a quick Hand tool Woodworking project that most anyone can do, and the results can change a shop! With little more than a Brace, Bit and Chisel you can make one too.

A photographer friend of mine asked me to make one of these for her photo studio. It is a bit different from what I normally like to do, and as much as I dislike panted finishes I an mot a man to turn away a challenge. I learned a few things along the way and hope to share those with you here.
