  • The humidity this weekend resulted in some rust on the bottom of my Sargent 606 low angle block plane. I decided to clean it up starting with 120 grit. Ended up doing too much. . . . . #handtools #woodworking #blockplane #handplane #restoration #sargenttools #mirrorfinish

  • Repaired and ready for hanging. This reclaimed door needed significant repair to the hinge-side stile. It was planed down with pine laminations added to repair. . . . . . . #reclaimed #reclaimeddoors #carpentry #woodworking #pine
  • Friday night planing party. A friend came down to use the shop to repair a reclaimed door. The hinge side stile requires significant planing due to prior problems. . . . . . #woodworking #handtools #planingparty #reclaimeddoors #recycle #handplane #homerepair
  • This is the first handplane that I restored. A wonderful Stanley No. 48 tongue and groove plane. When it came from eBay it was rusted solid. After restoration the fence moves freely and locks securely. The irons are sharp and it works perfectly. . . . . . . . . #woodworking #handtools #handplane #handtoolthursday #tools #restore #oldiron #stanley #tongueandgroove #maker #woodworker
  • Fun with colors and grain! I’m in the planning stages of my next furniture project so I need some small pieces to fill shop time. This #curlymaple vessel is finished with federal blue milk paint and danish oil. . . . . . . . #woodworking #woodturning #maple #maplewood #turning #lathe #decoration #decorative #bowlturning #bowl #vessel #make #art #makersgonnamake
  • I started building my new workbench on May 26. It took just over one month of weekends and evenings to compete the build. The design is based upon the French bench episodes of The Woodwright’s Shop and the student bench from @james_son_of_james with plenty of help using the Workbench book written by @lostartpress Looking forward to building on it. A full description of the build is located at the link in my profile. . . . . . . . #workbench #buildit #woodworking #syp #frenchbench #make #build #makersgonnamake #pittsburgh #handtools #imadethis #lumber #maker #diy
  • Nearly done! The legs and stretchers were glued up last night. Vises are added and work great. All that is left is to add some ramps in the tool well, add some finish and drill dog holes. . . . . . . #woodworking #workbench #frenchbench #make #imadethis #makersgonnamake #workshop #syp #buildit
  • There comes a point in every build where the thing you are making starts to look like the picture in your plans. With the tool well added, this is starting to look like a woodworking bench. . . . . . . . . . #woodworking #workbench #syp #makersgonnamake #make #maker #diy #build #ibuiltthis #frenchbench
