made of pine. i did that with hand tools after i saw an article about it from christian beckworth in fine woodworking.

had some problems with tearing when mortising because of the very soft wood.

some of ny joints are not tight either. oh well, now that i worked it out on a small
pine bench, i can redo another one in oak

Made out of Walnut and Hickory because that is what I had at hand. It started out as a big board but after a few unfortunate problems i ended up with a cheese board. Finished with mineral oil.

made out of 2×4 lumber jointed and squared. top is 3/4 mdf with 1/4 hardboard on top if it.

still need to organize my shop but i figured i first need to build the outfeed to
help me tackle the rest of the stuff. next will be a rolling cabinet for my planer and storafe units
for all the stuff that is on the floor…

This was one of the two things I made this weekend. This hammer is made with a hickory handle and a walnut head. Its the “mistery hammer” as shown by Roy Underhill in one of his TV shows.

I was over at his shop this weekend and we made this along with a bow saw (which I will post later when I finish shaping the second arm..).

This was challenging to make as it requires very precise layout and cutting. there is the illusion of a dovetail on each side of the face and the handle is split in three, producing three thru-tenons. I probably will card-scrape it smooth and finish it with wax.

A little box made of pine (the sides) and red oak (bottom and top). Made with hand tools. I cut the dovetails pretty wide, european style. The top closes by fitting in a rabbet. Still need to make a handle for the top, probably will be walnut.
