Unique project recreates lineman's tools
I Like This! (0)
Britt Comer, a lineman for a Washington State electrical utility company, wanted to use his woodworking talents to create something in wood that represented his trade. The end result: a tool belt complete with lineman's tools, and line spurs used for climbing poles, shown at right. "The toughest part was trying to get wood to look like leather," Britt says. "I found that Pacific yew gave me the look that was needed."
Other woods in the designs include black walnut for the pouch, padauk for tool handles, purpleheart for the pliers, wenge for the tape, alder for the back strap and D-ring, and oak for the wire-skinning knife.
