Hand Tool Woodworking Shop Notes

The embryonic stage of a classic six board chest. 

Three year olds don't care about woodworking. I make a nameplate for a co-worker. I also make a napkin holder.

I made a thing in one afternoon! It's a wine caddy. Now I can hold a bottle of wine and two glasses with one hand, freeing up my other hand to do all kinds of activities.

A lack of direction leads to dovetails and carving.

I suddenly need a shooting board, so I build one out of twelve inch wide mahogany.

I cut and fit my first half blind dovetails for the Shaker inspired serving tray.

I put my apprentice through the paces on dimensioning stock for the next serving tray.

Recap and stock prep for a run of cherry coozies.

Recap of all the glorious work I have done.

I finish the staked saw bench and start to make a pizza peel.
