  1. In all seriousness, there are a number of very critical safety protocols for extremely dangerous machinery (dismemberment, death, and all that) being violated in just this single thumbnail.

    Upon second review, tiny tank tops and short shorts are the weirdest woodworking gear I've ever seen publicized. WTF

    ‘I’m going to figure this out’: home ownership lessons from women who taught themselves

    Edit: If you come in here and try to tell me some trolling bullshit when I'm talking about critical safety, you will be blocked. Don't tell me you're a woodworker and then try to pull that bullshit. We don't think it's cute to let anyone get injured at all.

  2. * I need to seriously consider when I should use tiny brass screws (maybe never?)
    * hand cutting a French cleat is a hassle. There must be a better way.
    * piece is a little out of square. Normally I am ok with square enough but it made the door and other parts harder.
    * got paste wax inside the piece. Looks sloppy.
    * painting rough boards sucks. Should have used a bristle brush instead of a foam brush.

  3. I wanted to write an article about this tonight but some technology got in the way. Some initial critiques before I go to sleep:

    * I should have planned better for the location. I need to do modifications to make it fit.
    * I wish I’d used real glass instead of plexiglass
    * I wish I’d installed the glass the traditional way instead of coming up with my own (worse) way
    * there must be some door tricks I’m missing. Hinges plus inset door seems impossible to get right.

  4. The legs are done! Well... three sides of the legs look the same, like the left one. No, they're done! This right one will definitely be the back outside. Love it when the pieces pick where they need to be instead of me having to make a choice.

    Onto the bowtie on the bottom. Well... I have to redo it entirely because I reasoned through the grain orientation wrong. I aligned the grain of the maple bowtie when I needed to make it perpendicular to that of the walnut so during wood expansion it expands the other way and prevents the crack from growing.
    (╯°□°)╯︵ ┻━┻

    It's for the best, this was a bad fit but not the worst given that it was my first time doing inlay. I'll make a bigger bow tie tomorrow to cover it all. It'll be an absolute unit.

  5. Sadly cannot attach it to the wall because I discovered I do not have the appropriate masonry bit for the French cleat. Oh well #woodworking

  6. I hate sharpening. I managed to sharpen 3 chisels and my plane iron in about 6 hours.

    I need a better way to do this. I have water stones (220/800 and 4000/8000). They are messy, need constant flattening, and the edges of the wider blades take forever.

    How does everyone else do this?

    A teď jdu najít stůl, na kterej si dám nohy. 🥱

  8. All 5 legs assembled, planed, and cut to length.

  9. Made a paper template for the rise legs and it was a pleasure to use my new marking knife. Good sharp tools make such a difference.

    Cut the legs out on the bandsaw, I need so much more practice. I don't have a template following router flush trim bit so the paper template was mostly helpful to not have to make complex measurements and marking twice. Going to take the slab to my friend's tomorrow for another round through the planer. I'm getting close!

  10. My newest #woodworking project is done! Japanese style #Kumiko Lamp with Asanoha pattern. 312 pieces of ash and walnut. Each individually fitted.

  11. 💁🏻‍♀️ ICYMI: ✏️🏭 A tour inside #Blackwing factories in #Japan shows how #graphite cores and incense #cedar slats become classic #pencils. The production process involves #baking graphite strands, shaping cedar casings, applying lacquer coats, and attaching signature #metal ferrules in #California.

  13. The nice thing when working with linseed oil (besides all the other advantages like not needing turpentine to clean your tools or not needing to use a respirator) is that you can spread it with your fingers.
    This gives you a great feel for any spots that need more oil and you don't have any rugs to take care of. (Also it smells great.) 1/3

    Our pups have been sharing a water bowl for the last 3 years, and the stand that holds up the bowl finally broke. Hubs designed a new double bowl stand. Carved out of 3/4" ply, we are coating in #totalboat #epoxyresin to keep it from disintegrating. Next up to #carve : the legs. Once we assemble it, it will receive a few more coats of resin, and then it will be complete! #cncwaterbowlstand

  15. Finished up a batch of kumiko panels with some colorful frames. Combo of milk paint and watered down acrylic paint #woodworking #kumiko

  16. La paire de vitrines plates est finie.
    Elles sont en #bois de #chêne de 1cm d'épaisseur. Le cadre est en tube d'#acier de 2cm. Vitres en verre trempé. Garnitures en #laiton.
    Finition huile de lin a la fleur d'oranger.

    C'est pour exposer mes couteaux et bagues.

  17. Correction: Lee Kalliroi Buchanan identifies as #NonBinary!

    I hardly ever go out anymore, but hubby took me to see #NickOfferman. Wow! In addition to hearing him rant against #AI and #ElonMusk, he also praised #ToolLibraries and #MakerSpaces and #DIY! And the best part? Live #woodworking with his very cool associate, #LeeKalliroiBuchanan (I loved seeing them in action)!

  19. I used spalted elm wood (from dead branches I found in the forest behind the house) for this micro-flute (inline 4-holes #ocarina).
    Natural sandarac varnish.
    I am pleased with the result! It makes me want to experiment with other "precious" local woods.

  20. Hier mal mein liebstes #Woodworking Projekt des letzten Jahres. Das Schränkchen habe ich "from scratch" selbst gebaut. Angefangen mit der Bohle bis zum fertigen #Kumiko #diy

  21. There's a fine line between allowing a bit of light to shine through and allowing everything through. #woodworking #woodturning #turning

  22. En cours de construction, les premières #rosettes en #marqueterie pour #guitare #jazz acoustique (grande bouche).

    Construction couche par couche pour n'avoir aucunes jonctions et que la rosette soit solide dans toutes les dimensions.

  23. More testing for the New Perspectives Music #bass kit. I got the toolpaths working to cut the neck on the diagonal on my Inventables 1000mm #xcarve. Test finger board next, then do it all again in good #wood. #maker #pghmaker #diy #woodworking #luthier #cncrouter #bassguitar #gizmosity #empireofdust

  25. January 26th.

    Yesterday, I gained access to some branches and trunks of a black #alder tree. I cut these into manageable pieces and sealed the ends with #Anchorseal (a wax solution). These pieces are now meant to dry slowly without cracking. Eventually, I plan to turn them into items like bowls or vases on a lathe.

  26. I’d recently got up to a critical mass of prints to frame. The signed Couch poster was a birthday gift for my daughter. The #gizmosity print by Dustin Penner & the 2 by Jimmy Diresta are #letterpress prints. The post cards are from Chop Shop Studio. The frames were made from reclaimed rough cut lumber or old drawer fronts. Finish is India ink stain & spar varnish. These are mostly hung in and around my shop.
