Disston D23 handle carving complete, now I just need to drill the 4th hole then sand and apply finish! #woodworking #woodcarving #tools #handtools #handsaw #disston (at Iowa City, Iowa) https://www.instagram.com/p/CMfBu_7M8Hq/?igshid=1owbx8ctwvnyc

I really like where this handle is going #disston #woodworking #tools #handtools #handsaw (at Iowa City, Iowa) https://www.instagram.com/p/CMaxH4OM7Hx/?igshid=pemtpu49ohyy

Picked up yet another saw (Disston D23) and because the plate was already sharpened up to the base of the handle (and because the handle was ugly) I decided to go wild reshaping. I’m excited to see how it turns out. #woodworking #tools #handsaw #handtools #disstonsaw (at Iowa City, Iowa) https://www.instagram.com/p/CMVWgnEs4LX/?igshid=1gg4r4qcwdqlx

Really happy with the upper horn repair on my vintage Spear and Jackson tenon saw. I used walnut because it’s similar in tone, but I like the contrast between the original handle and the repaired section. #woodworking #tools #handtools #handsaw #necessarywalnut (at Iowa City, Iowa) https://www.instagram.com/p/CMLlXhasKoz/?igshid=cqt2l18q5xhm

Saw restoration almost complete, just need to finish the Spear and Jackson tenon saw and sharpen them all. #woodworking #handsaw #tools #handtools https://www.instagram.com/p/CMHtAoAsML-/?igshid=yffn69r3oqpx

Saw surgery complete, next comes cleaning, color matching, and finishing. #woodworking #tools #handtools #handsaw (at Iowa City, Iowa) https://www.instagram.com/p/CLvLZO_M01n/?igshid=2lzyes5kokl4

Saw surgery in progress. On the handle with the thumb hole I tried to leave as much of the original horn as possible for strength while also exposing a relatively large surface area for glue. #woodworking #tools #handsaw #handtools (at Iowa City, Iowa) https://www.instagram.com/p/CLuq0qJMr8T/?igshid=m5niatafzx2o

Polished the hardware for some saws I’m restoring last night. First handle is for my rip saw, second is for my crosscut saw, and last is a donor handle I’m going to use to fix the horns on the first two. #woodworking #handtools #handsaw #tools (at Iowa City, Iowa) https://www.instagram.com/p/CLuSglKMcPx/?igshid=1np7yyu33jz02

Made my own split nut driver, idea came from https://makezine.com/2010/06/17/homemade-split-nut-driver/ (the one in the article looks WAY nicer than mine) #diy #diytools #woodworking #tools (at Iowa City, Iowa) https://www.instagram.com/p/CLkVIAKMhAe/?igshid=l1y7f47z2qp1

Shop art and drill/driver storage. It was a bit of finessing to get a good fit but I like how it ended up. #woodworking #diy #tools (at Iowa City, Iowa) https://www.instagram.com/p/CLde02aMKGf/?igshid=1remgj2pn3f29

This is why you use a push stick... #woodworking #tools https://www.instagram.com/p/CLYJ3-LMMv7/?igshid=1j669898nizo3

Finally made some clamp racks to let me hold far more clamps in the same space! I can’t wait to make more French cleat organizers. #diy #woodworking #shoporganization #shopproject (at Iowa City, Iowa) https://www.instagram.com/p/CLAEicRs3hr/?igshid=1mb7t5djks9jx

I bought a track saw and I love it. I turned 3 full sheets (8’ x 4’) into a pile of manageable pieces for the table saw. It was way less stressful than trying to use a straightedge with a circular saw. Quicker too. (at Iowa City, Iowa) https://www.instagram.com/p/CKu1AQQsY1W/?igshid=1s0v5ir9vprsj
