Broke our banana holder, so I made a stronger one using scrap wood! I loved practicing some carving as well as some more hand tool work... which is very difficult

I made some new pencil boxes for my sister, who's a teacher, as a "good luck with the new school year" gift. Thanks to delays in recovery, it took me too long, and now it's a Christmas gift!

I replaced my old Suizan flush trim saw with one from Temple Tools Co. I didn't like having to create more waste, but I think I'll keep the handle and gift the saw to someone who needs it once I've replaced the blade.

The difference between the two chisels is the steel. Harbor Freight uses a cheaper and pressed steel versus Zen-Wu which uses a titanium steel blend. This allows the Zen-Wu chisel to hold an edge longer, which means less sharpening. They also presharpen and flatten all the chisels before they arrive

Can't disagree at all with you there. I've seen quite a few people do this trick and while it worked, it's definitely not the best. I'm very much still learning and after this experience, I knew I'd rather have a router table of some sort.

Got these bandsaw boxes done. I've developed Tennis elbow and it's made holding tools and manipulating them more difficult. But hey, I got them finished, just needs some wax and then I can start perfecting the methods. Learned a lot with these! New Video Soon!
