My nice quick project for this week was a new canoe thwart to replace one that split last season. Pretty amazing how floppy a #canoe is without these installed.

Not sure what #wood the old one was, but the new one is #whiteoak with just a quick coat o… https://t.co/3CoXTKs4HS

The state of my #workbench on this #handtoolthursday . I was doing some #dovetail cutting this week and apparently I spread out while cutting them!

I installed some #steps at my parents place this weekend - turned out pretty nice. Simple construction with 4x4 frames and pavers for the actual step, but a fair bit of #digging to build them into the #hillside. I think these fit in with the landscape a … https://t.co/uTKo6J9ZG7

My daughter and I have been doing quite a bit of #rockclimbing the past few months, but we can’t get to the gym as often as we’d like, so to satisfy the craving in between I built this little #rockwall in the garage/shop. It’s great fun and despite the … https://t.co/b0dUhauDW0

Quick little tea light candle holder that I turned this weekend. The #wood is a cutoff from a bush that we have in the yard that’s been laying around for a while - not sure what it is, honeysuckle possibly? It was starting to rot and crack a bit, so pr… https://t.co/hHepmP8eHR

I don’t have many reasons to use the Lie Nielsen small router plane typically, so when it comes out it’s always picture worthy. A bonus this time because it’s #handtoolthursday as well!

It worked beautifully as always for this small #brass #inlay

I’ve nearly finished with these hardware storage drawers. I’ve tried a bunch of hardware storage solutions over the years and they all have their pros and cons which I tried to take into account here.

Each drawer has a bunch of small containers that can… https://t.co/g9ndn0vtd6

Finally finished the rest of these little tea boxes. The sides are #spalted dogwood and the tops/bottoms are #mahogany. I was able to get a fairly nice grain match on most of the corners and am happy that I left most of the knot and insect holes which I… https://t.co/dgZ0ZZmubE

Last #woodshaving post of these dogwood #shavings promise! They’re just so cool that I can’t help but take some pictures of them.

Pretty sure I shared a picture just like this a few weeks ago for #handtoolthursday but this #wood and the #woodshavings that made are just too cool to not share again this week!

This week’s #woodshavingwednesday has some really fun #spalted #dogwood #endgrain #shavings. I have a few more of these boxes to do with plenty more miters to shoot, so the #workbench will likely be covered soon!

#handtoolthursday this week is a quick shot of the #plowplane cutting some rabbets in the box sides. I do have a skew rabbet plane also, but for these small rabbets the plow plane is just a lot easier to setup and use. The #spalted wood also makes for so… https://t.co/tvoI1J8sng

A little #woodshavingwednesday work today!

Finished the bike trainer table this weekend and it works great. Fits over the front wheel just as intended and is surprisingly stable. I’ve been riding the trainer more lately since I’ve joined Zwift and needed a better location for my screen.

The des… https://t.co/zDaoeUxV9X

Been awhile since I’ve posted anything on #handtoolthursday but I’ve been cutting some #joinery this week and figured I’d snap a picture of the #workbench. It obviously needs some tidying!

Finished and loaded up the #dumbellrack yesterday - so much easier and better looking than lining them up on the floor, looks good too. I love it when a quick, easy project has this big of an impact!

The finally completed perch stool! Made with apple wood from a tree that came down in a storm at my in-laws - that my wife remembers playing under as a kid.

It came out looking great, but that’s mainly because of the #wood (takes the eye away from the … https://t.co/6l2fv60cSP

On our vacation this week I managed to convince my family to stop at the @palumbermuseum and we had a great time! We saw some GIANT frame saws, the girls tried felling a tree, I tried to puzzle out all the belts that the were required to run the woodshop… https://t.co/i7zEsUoX5K

A lot of #spooncarvers use only 1 or 2 #carvingknives but I’ve never been that good! I tend to pull out nearly every tool I have, trying them all out to see what works best for that particular area. I’m certainly no expert #carver but I’m starting to imp… https://t.co/J46TcQLGqP

Dropped off this little #coffeetable at my parents place this weekend and thankfully it fit on the ottoman it was designed for! It’s definitely overly engineered for what it is - a simple square of plywood would do the job just as well, but this at least… https://t.co/uDj8gtOwWP
