While I’m not making Christmas gifts this year, I will be taking my handtools and workbench to my sisters house. Her family is hosting Christmas for about twenty people.

There’s always a lot of meandering around and waiting for food to finish cooking, so I decided to take over my tools to teach anyone who is interested in the basics of woodworking.

I’m also taking my leather craft tools in case anyone is interested in doing that too.

Knowledge and a distraction from boredom will be my gift.

Thank you very much :)

If you don’t mind jigs and power tools it’s still possible to do woodworking.

Thanks! If it makes you feel better, these were farm raised Doves that passed away from old age.

A few tips.

• Make sure sole is flat and smooth.
• Flatten the frog so the blade makes full contact.
• Make sure the area of the cap that touches the bald is flat.
• Start your cut with the blade fully retracted. Then turn your knobs a quarter turn untill you begin to cut.

I’m not sure what the cutting angle should be or if you need a secondary bevel. I will be learning that probably tomorrow when I sharpen mine.

In the photo the two pieces are just butted against each other. This is just to show how they will look.

I will make dovetails and then assemble them.

Thanks! It’s been a while since I’ve used a spokeshave so it took a little adjustment to get a better cut.

I think I need to do a little work on the edge of the blade itself, so I’ll probably do that right before I make the finish cuts. :)

:) you’re welcome

Didn’t plasmas TVs have a burn in problem over time?

I’m sure that’s one of the reasons they stopped making them.

LMAO guys please don’t do this. I don’t want this to be my legacy.

What if we refer to them as cums?

I think that’s phonetically correct.

Literally just rehashing old UI that’s been around for over a decade.

Windows Vista, Rainmeter and custom Windows themes from Deviantart have had these motifs for over a decade.

Thanks!

You are all very kind. Thank you!

Thanks! Yes about 1/3rd of the lid sits inside the body.

I made rabbets for the lid to sit on.
