First attempt at making fire starter from collected sawdust, paraffin wax, and an empty egg carton.
The molten wax seemed to leak from the bottom of the carton. So the whole operation was time consuming, messy, and I’m lucky I didn’t set the backyard shed or myself on fire. Obviously I’m an amateur at everything I do. But it was lots of fun.
You may remember the wood table base I made and had to put on ice (all woodworking, actually) until some home improvement tasks were done…
It's not much but it is a small table made of scrap construction lumber. (Top is yet attached) #woodworking
Just wrapped up another little #woodworking project. A small coffee tray made from black walnut for my Hario beehive server and coffee cup.
This post is trying to do double duty as my #thecompochallenge submission for this week. This is me trying to lay out some items to satisfy the golden spiral. Not sure if I'm pulling it off or not
Custom handmade guitar. Caoba body with Olive top. 3 pieces neck (caoba + walnut). Lindy fralin high gain pickups with coil split.

I made a bowl. It has the look of a chalice and feels really old, I think because of the creviced nature of the wood. I was a bit apprehensive starting this, worried about the tools catching in the crevices but it was ok. #woodturning #maker #woodworking

Oh, if I was younger, healthier and the price was fair, I would look into this.

I'm looking for someone who whittles (edit: or does wood carving, apparently they're different things!) I'd like to buy a small figurine of a sleeping bear, from within EU. I'm having trouble finding someone who *makes* that kind of thing on Etsy, and doesn't just sell it. So, anybody know anybody? #DanskerTrut #whittling #woodworking
Verrückt, oder? Diese Holzfarben.

Just finished up this potting bench for my daughter. The frame is poplar painted with 2 coats of primer and 2 coats of an exterior acrylic latex. The bench top is white oak finished with tung oil. Both the top and the bottom shelf are removable with 1/4-20" stainless steel hex bolts to make maintenance easier.
Today's "I'm laid off and bored" project.
Figured a torii gate for my desk would be really nice. So why spend $10 and buy one when I could 1) Pinch the skin between my thumb and finger between a hammer and chisel. 2) Make a mess everywhere. 3) Aggravate my lower back pain by bending over chiseling. 4) Realize how much of a pain in the ass cutting a mortice in a round dowel is.
Thankfully wood filler exists.
After almost 2 days we are finished with the first joints of our “secret” project. Next week, all of them should be finished.
Where does your woodworking happen:
Bespoke Workshop?
Garage?
Living room?
Shed?
anywhere else?
I want to hear about it!

This must be a cooper’s (tonnelier’s) plane. It’s huge. That iron is at least 10cm wide. If so, we would be looking at the bottom of the plane beam (edge side faces up). But I don’t see any place for mounting the spindle legs. Granted the length is cut off in this photo. Speaking of which, it seems rather long, even for a cooper’s plane. I’m not totally convinced. Paul Bunyans’s plane, maybe.
OK, I’m on the hunt for my first table saw, and I’m really tempted by this vintage Craftsman 113 (see picture). How hard would it be to add a stand and extend the table surface? Are there like wings/extensions you can easily add? #woodworking #craftsman #tools #tablesaw
