I did the weird lap/bridle joint, shown recently by Tamar from 3x3 Custom (joint also popular on Pinterest), but hit it with a heavy chamfer and blackened it with India ink. This is the base for my new dresser.

Finally finished this guy. The Nicholson. A lot of hand tool wood work to come on this one.

I re-handled my Japanese paring chisel in a semi-western style with extra curly white oak.

Haven’t posted on here in a while but here’s my latest project finished. The Nicholson workbench, made from mostly construction grade pine.

I made a speargun from locally harvested Indian rosewood. Trigger mechanism is from neptonics but modified for a blue water gun. Handle is power carved and attached via drawbored through mortise and tenon. Finished with epoxy and marine varnish.

While this isn’t made entirely with hand tools I am proud to say that the tenons were cut purely with hand tools and the mortises were refined by hand as well.

I turned this rusty flea market 2” chisel into a timber framing slick.

I find that when practicing joinery that it’s effective to just try and make something... even if it’s small. Otherwise you’re just gonna end up with a bunch of scrap corners for the fire pit. I made a home for my remote controls.

A small bowl from a small lathe. Made from guanacaste aka parota.

Really had the bedrock 604 singing yesterday. Wood is 8/4 hard maple that will become a leg for a desk.

I restored this old neglected chisel and turned it into a timber framing slick.

Someone from r/woodworking suggested I post this here. This is actually for a dresser... but could be made for a desk.

Made this Japanese timber frame joint entirely from hand tools on my new Nicholson bench. Pretty excited to try to incorporate this joint into some furniture projects.

This plane never disappoints. Don’t mind my creepy mug in the lever cap.

Just finished this monster dining table. Base is Spanish cedar and the top is ash finished with rubio super white. All the joinery for the base is cut by hand.

I literally just made a bread board with a bread board end.

Was on r/woodworking and they mentioned I should post this here. Indian rosewood blue water speargun with a modified neptonics reef trigger mech. Finished with epoxy and Bristol finish urethane. Power carved pistol grip mounted with a drawbored mortise and tenon. YouTube video coming... eventually.

My first Lie-Nielsen, the 102. Never seen a low angle block that could also be a smoother if it wanted to. Mind blown.

These are a few of my favorite things (mjolnir is actually a bottle opener).

Finally starting to get a feel for the hand cut dovetails a bit so that they suck substantially less than my previous ones.

Are traditional turning tools considered hand tools even when the lathe isn’t hand powered? Parota wood bowl I whipped up over the weekend.

Took a zoom class on how to make this Japanese timber framing joint... interestingly enough I still don’t know what it’s called. Fun to make though.

I made a tambour door whiskey cabinet that fits one bottle of whiskey and two low ball glasses. Bent lamination legs to widen the overall footprint.

I just got converted to low angle jack plane life and I’m never going back.

My first successful (mostly) bowl. Went through the bottom... barely... like half a scraper pass barely. Gonna try again tonight or tomorrow after a tool sharpen.
