I'm on bluesky for a change of pace. Focusing on woodworking while I'm here.

I love dogs, woodworking and bikes

nerdy and grouchy
Before & After. Maybe some woodworking happened in between.

Jointer plane in some slightly spalted white oak. The tote and knob came from a very broken old sargent hand plane.

Finished it. Still kinda hate the legs but whatever.

I guess I could call it a "low coffee table" but to me, it's a "noodle table." I'm Korean, my wife is Viet, I made this so we can sit on the floor, eat noodles, and watch a movie

Welp, that sucks. I've snapped drill bits before but never a chisel. New shop-fear unlocked😑

MKC chisels if anyone is wondering

got the batten ready for the legs. wedged the tenons, prepped holes for bolts, cross brace added in. janky holes hidden

now just gotta do it all over again for the other side. I'll shorten/trim the legs when all of them are done

Split it while mortising. mERP. It cracked pretty clean tho, can't see the glue line, so hopefully it will be fine

found this goofy piece of white oak with some spalting in it. pretty sure i dismissed this thing as ugly before, but now I look at it and I like it🤷‍♂️, so I think i'll make it into a coffee table or something. no idea how i'm gonna do the legs yet

as democracy dies, I'm spending more time in my basement woodshop hah!

a simple moravian stool i made as practice, i painted it, in what I'm calling "landlord-special white"
don't usually paint my work but this was made from all ugly recycled materials (trash)

It's fun to experiment sometimes
