Rob's blog: I have the power!
We all have our favourite parts of woodworking. My favourite thing to do might be adding texture to wood. Right behind that is power carving.
Project: Turning a tulip
With a few offcuts, a few dollar store dowels, a little colour and some glue you can make a beautiful bouquet of tulips to give to that special someone, and they’ll last forever.

A quick tour of Rob Brown’s shop

I used to work for a large industrial supply house here in Canada and the brand we carried was Jorgensen however my main clamp has always been the 3/4in pipe clamp. I do not plan to replace my Jorgensen bar clamps but I have replace my #50 pipe clamps with the new Bessey pipe clamps because of the extened feet on them which makes them so much easier to use. Both are of excellent quality and I have been using them for about 40yrs but the new Bessey pipe clamps are a significant upgrade and are currently hanging on my clamp rack waiting for another chance to play.
