Built a box out of quarter sawn oak. Drawer faces just sitting there waiting to be mounted. Now comes legs. Only took a couple hours to make a simple box 🙄

So boujee.

Punched a 3/4” gash in a finger before from sweeping off shavings with my hand. When they are sharp they are no joke.

Tormeks are expensive, I just got $3k worth of Japanese wet stones. 30 seconds* *After they have been painstakingly honed and polished. These actually come mirror polished out of the box, don’t see it taking that long to sharpen and make less sharp than factory.

Chisels came in, made a little holder for them. Now to spend a week attempting to sharpen. Fuck you Rob Cosman.

Wonder what the NATO designation will be for sauna.

Same.

What I used, but being a shitty woodworker my bench gets used more as a giant charcuterie board.

Figured a miter saw would have been the better option.

Seems Ridge’s quality control isn’t all that good. Blade revived with with multiple teeth like this.

Awesome!

Joinery is for suckers.

Worst. Parson’s. Table. Ever.

I guarantee that seeing them on fire hurdling next door is just as safe.

I put all oily rags on a small trebuchet and launch them at my neighbor.

I did it on a stand with added roller stands. Or just do it really slowly with a dovetail saw.

Heavy loads of CDs are my kryptonite.

Roller stands really helped, but mostly it was a lot of heavy lifting. Jodi took a picture while I was working on it.

I wouldn’t trust anyone from Arkansas.

Quarter sawn oak is growing on me.

I’ll happily buy them off you for pennies on the dollar.

I built the traditional dogs that come the the Roubo plans and as much as it pains me to say this, buying a cool after market one is pretty useless. They are stupid simple to pop up and down with a good usable height range. Only downside is the bench has to be built to use them.

Guess I need another red clamp.

That would definitely fit with it being from Brazil. But that means I would need to build another bench 🤔

I’m going to say mango, maybe Koa.
