This is the first time I manged to drill perfectly aligned holes for the ferrules in a string-through body.
Used a piece of straight-edged wood to slide along a drill-helper so the holes are aligned and at a precise 90 degree angle.
Used a rule and a marking on the helper to slide along the helper precisely every 11mm.I love it when I can make the result more (much more!) precise and still use my plain woodworking tools. Thanks https://paulsellers.com/.

While waiting for GPT-5.6 to drop, I made a wooden propeller toy with my kid 🪚🪵🚁
We’ll test it out in the park, got some stock to make another one (as backup).

Experimenting with a new box design and getting better a matching grain around the sides. This has a floating base and raised top. All completed with hand tools, except for one cheat: I cut the hole in the lid with a forstner bit. #Woodworking #handtools

Anyone know a good place to get antique machinery oiling cans, besides eBay? I picked up a (more well-used looking) one of these guys at the local tool library’s tool swap today, and I want to pamper it like it deserves.

Wasted many hours today trying to cut a perfect 45 degree miter using various hand tool implements. Concluded that my next project is a donkey’s ear shooting jig. “Spend time cutting scrap wood just for practice” is underrated. #WoodWorking #handtools

One of my many #HandTools for the grassroots food security/save the pollinators portion of the societal #FuckCapitalism revolution.
I use these often. One of my fave/most used hand tools - a really good plants snipper 💚😃 -

Felling 9 holly trunks (~25 ft) and selectively salvaging the best sections for lumber. Holly is dense, fine-grained, and beautifully pale when fresh—too good to waste. Branches will be chipped; straight logs are to be milled on a Timberking 1220 band saw for small woodworking projects.

Thinking more on tools & that gets me into the most common thing I'll likely use, namely a groove plane or maybe 2, as I'll need something that's can made at least 3/4th inch wide grooves, beyond the "typical" 1/4th inch, which I doubt I'd use much, as I hate plywood.
Most likely having seen the Paul Sellers video & how adjustable this design is , I'll try to find a few sensible Chisels tomorrow, after the roof repairs & see if I can't then basically follow along to make at least the 1/2 inch & 3/4 inch grooves to make the chicken pen builds quicker & easier.

I decided against trying to get a jointer and planer in my tiny workshop and got an old stanely jack plane. I am also keeping my eyes peeled for a number 4 plane also.
If I ever end up getting the cash together to build my workshop maybe ill get a power planer but I also don't wood work enough for that, and recycling tools that ate older than I am just feels right. -
