Spoon with a large bowl that I carved from some hazel I found just outside Wivenhoe, Essex.

Put together the frame for the coat rack. Used some cherry and some very simple hand cut dovetails. Pretty happy with how it turned out.

The finish is still drying but it's complete.

Hand scraper with carbide blade, Jarrah handle, patterned after the one from an old Stefan Gotteswinter video. Machine tool rebuilding here I come!

A fun project for a rainy Sunday last weekend, then made the handle this evening. Nice to have it done (except the blade), I've had the material ready for ages.

Process photos of making the clamp. Both sides have a step to locate the blade, the clamp is bent down on the other end to pivot around. Bonus cameo from my recreation of the tap handle from ToT's Operation: Tap Wrench video

Some more process photos of milling the tang and roughing the handle blank. The timber is Jarrah, native to Western Australia, tool marks left in from the spokeshave and knife for texture.

I've been teaching myself hand tool woodworking in an effort to really improve my skills. So I made this keepsake box for a dear friend. I visited her last weekend and had the best time ever.

I didn't use any power tools or fasteners. Just wood, glue, finish. It is made out of white oak and walnut for the little carved handle in the tray part. Cutting dovetails is challenging but very fun. It's nice to reconnect with the parts of making stuff that I really enjoy and finding new things to get excited about.
