Handle carved and a through mortise chiseled on each end piece. The time lapse video of this project is pretty awesome. Iβll share that once everything is finished.

Good morning!

Puzzling. Everything in life right now is absolutely positively puzzling.
Roasted today. Costa Rica π¨π· . Eager to try!

Dovetails cut and fit today on the tool tote (using chisel only, no saw). Tomorrow: handle, sand, and put it all together…π€πΌ

My first apartment had a stoop that allowed for plane watching on final approach into Harrisburg International. Not a busy airport but watching the flights lineup for landing made for enjoyable summer evenings.
Now watching Hunt for Red October (in honor of Sean Connery) π₯ πΏ
Falling asleep, Dreams are near.
Coffee. Need coffee.
Astonish me.

I donβt usually drink coffee this late…

Empty house today made it easy to concentrate. Mondayβs are typically my longest workday of the week, very busy but productive. Time to unwind.
Windy out there today.
Rum, neat.
Dreary day today, but my state of mind was full of sunshine.

To NaNoWriMo or not to NaNoWriMo…
Extremely happy with the progress on this tool tote (cherry wood). Tools used up to this point: axe, knife, and chisel.

Scheduling my October newsletter to publish later today before I talk myself out of it. You can get on the list here if you’d like one more thing to read.
Watching Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone π§ββοΈπ₯

join me in the car. personal reflection on vulnerable writing π
Weekly roast.

Had the thought yesterday so I called my grandma. She loaned me this Learn How Book (published in 1941) today with needles and some yarn π§Ά. Attempting to learn how to knit.


Axe sharpening this morning!
