Additions to the preverbal tool belt.

Good morning

Mallet is coming along!

Sunset in the workshop.

Onto the next woodworking project. Using dowel rods for a portion of it…so I made one. And it worked! Plenty more need to be made but this first try was a surprising success!

Workbench is ready for use!

Workbench is coming along…The top will go on tomorrow!

Shoulder plane gives a perfect fit.

One more cup of coffee to go along with the final work task of the week. Have a production deployment on Sunday, so I plan on spending all day Saturday in my workshop.
Not perfect but not bad. First go at curves with hand tools. Mozzie will paint it as his gift for Mother’s Day.

Practicing my scales.

Many people die at twenty-five and aren’t buried until they are seventy-five.

Custom solution.

It worked!

Next small woodworking project is a simple stand for the lids that otherwise lay at the bottom of a cabinet. Did a rough cut and it worked! Spent the evening preparing the final board. It will hold five lids (in theory 😬).
Tools: hand planes, backsaw, chisel.

Meh.
Finished!

Shooting board is coming along well. Removable fence is a success!
The option to mute keywords in @gluon is phenomenal. Thank you @vincent 🙏
Made some shavings in the shop tonight.

Finished making the bent earlier this week. Essentially a saw horse, a companion to the saw bench for supporting longer boards.
