WeekendMiniaturist Posted July 17, 2018 Share Posted July 17, 2018 I have been watching Marco's website for a while now... if you love to look at beautiful handmade tools... I think you will want to check this out. Marco's tools are miniatures, but I believe they are larger then 1/12th scale. I learned about Marco because I saw his class at the Marc Adams School of Woodworking in Franklin, IN. http://www.marcoterenzi.com/ For our forum participants who may want a new challenge, perhaps something outside your comfort zone... Marco's class is upcoming beginning July 30 - August 3, 2018. https://marcadams.com/event/details-small-scale-tool-making-techniques-marco-terenzi/?instance_id=218 I absolutely loved Mr. Robertson's make a wooden plane class at Guild School 2016 and this was the correct scale for me... Marco's tools appear to be larger then 1/12th scale, or I would have been expressing my registration in February when classes opened for 2018. If you love to collect tools, and I have observed a few bidding wars on old rare tools, you may want to check out Marco's website, as these tools may become the highly sought after collectors items in the future!

Bill Hudson Posted July 17, 2018 Share Posted July 17, 2018 I cannot tell from the pictures what scale he works in but what difference does that make? Learning the processes works in any scale. In face if he is working a larger scale it would be easier to learn. Once you have the knowhow you can adapt to any scale. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WeekendMiniaturist Posted July 17, 2018 Author Share Posted July 17, 2018 Bill H, that is an excellent point! I looked at the class details again last night and wondered.... I spent my education money on Patrick Moore's stereotomy class instead this year, and of course it wasn't in 1/12th scale either. But you are 100% correct the new skills that you learn can be applied to my treasured 1/12th scale. And I am hopeful that those new drawing and applying those measurements to wood, will translate to a roof and a cantilever staircase. The drawing for the class was on a sheet of paper about 4' x 4'... I did email Marco when I was deciding on my class and inquired if I could work in 1/12th scale, and did not get a reply... of course no instructor should be changing their class on request, but I did at least try... The hammers look beautiful, and I expect they are balanced perfectly... would make some really nice wall art in a nice presentation box... perhaps with an LED light above the tool...?
