  • Flattening out a rather rough board of walnut by hand with a scrub plane made from a Record #04 and a heavily cambered iron. Honestly, this is not the fun part of this hobby, it’s just sweaty donkey work. #woodworking #shed #handtools http://www.stochasticgeometry.ie/2018/07/15/ouchie/
  • Making a start on the next project - a desk with shelves for Junior. Starting with the desk part, which will be walnut and have some stringing inlay and the like; the rest of the build is all in some nice poplar. http://www.stochasticgeometry.ie/2018/07/08/those-five-minute-jobs/ #shed #handtools #woodworking
  • Broke down an old saw plate to make a new card scraper and cut it to the Christopher Williams shape that PW was going on about. Nearly set my hair, the shed, some solvent-based finishes and a lot of shavings on fire in the process, but that’s angle grinders for you. I really need to get some hand shears. Have to say though, I was fully expecting it’d be a gimmick but it actually worked really nicely. For small targeted areas on a board where you want to do some focussed scraping, this could be really useful - it’s like a plane blade with a camber on it. http://www.stochasticgeometry.ie/2018/07/08/those-five-minute-jobs/ #shed #woodworking #handtools #scrapers
