Posh tools jesus christ this site
hol’ up. You mean to tell me that I can buy a plane…with interchangeable soles, and irons, and hones for all the different profiles? The consumer in me is frothing at the an-…mouth with excitement at this prospect! I don’t even need it, it would just be fun to have, and who doesn’t like a good plane? It’s a...

….with this draw knife. Making quick work of these chair sides.
How very French of you! I could never get into the curved blade. Even though it’s more popular, to me it just feels wrong on the wood.

…we don’t all need to go to college, we deserve the right to choose, because the world is not entirely made up of intellectuals. Folks like me, those that like to learn by doing, learn by taking something apart and putting it back together, we don’t all need engineering degrees to make money or live the way we want.
We just need education.

Love and Purpose (Part One) →
For you, sitting in your seats right now, I have just this last piece of advice. Don’t worry about how many followers you have on Twitter or Facebook, but the thing to really follow is your heart.
Try and find something you love, and do it.
It will reward you in so many ways.
Make sure to keep on reading Part Two.
I have not lost my drive or my inspiration, my love or my purpose, but...

Splitting a red oak log section from an eighth to a sixteenth. So easy that the second wedge goes down by itself.
As you can see, this is a completely impractical method of working wood, suitable only for the 17th century, and not for the average woodworker. I had to go all the way to the local borg to get the tools needed for this operation.
And as far as whether the average...

I can’t find steady work without one, but to buy one means draining my savings to nil and using all of my earned cash to afford insurance and maintenance and fuel. All I want is to make chairs out of trees. Living my life outside of societal standards, within society, is the greatest and most aggravating Catch-22 I have ever experienced. Screw you,...

A stool with elaborate joinery!
Ignore the music, watch the process. Maybe mute it. Definitely mute it.
After having seen the whale tail in my googles, the process of it’s creation is much less straightforward than I would have guess. But I’m a simple man.

On Distance.
For me, being in a long distance relationship is both difficult and easy. It’s difficult to leave someone who is so easy to be around.

lascocks asked: Man, I LOVE Sketchup now. Have you ever used it with CNC routers? I just read that they took out the .dxf export option for the free version (because of course google has to be lame about it being free). Need to abuse the school's 3-axis router as much as a I can before I graduate lol
