That’s what I’ve been up to. I don’t nearly get the time I *need* out in the woodshop these days. So, I’m going to condense some things that I’ve been meaning to post separately.
First, a new dovetail saw! I bought a badaxe tenon saw back before it was cool to have one (subtle gloat), and I finally got around to ordering a dovetail saw from Mark as well. There wasn’t anything wrong with my veritas dovetail saw. But man, this one sure is pretty. Cherry handle, stainless back, stainless sawnuts. I was going to get the 12” dovetail hybrid saw, but I’m glad I went with the 10”. This thing is plenty agressive (re: sharp).
Cuts like a dream. What have I been dovetailing? Well, I’m almost done with a 5-drawer shaker table. Just need to put bottoms in the drawers and throw some knobs on. One of these days…
I picked up a top section to my toolbox on black thursday, which necessitated some rearranging in the shop.
Also: don’t buy driver heads at harbor freight. This is just the first three that snapped in a row.. I think I went through 7-8 within 10 minutes.
I’ve done a few other things as well, and have plenty coming up. Moxon vise, benchcrafted criss-cross, etc.. But we’ll see when I can get some time ;-).
