Thanks! Used it for miters for a picture frame just Saturday

Yeah that was actually what I wanted to do but my lady didn’t like the idea. She’s the boss!

Yep love making drawers

They look asymmetrical but they are effectively square. The only mortises that don't go straight through are the top ones and they just meet in the middle at a 90 degree angle

Thank you!

Bottom half getting close to complete. All hand tools. bsky.app/profile/frew...

One thing everyone on this site can agree on is that instead of listening to the new Taylor Swift album people should listen to real music like Steely Dan

Yeah I just mostly want to stay within the beaten path of LTS Ubuntu.

Yeah I think the main change I’m making not shown, in line with this suggestion, is a dedicated in/out mail area and a recycling bin I’ll make sure I have space for

My friend set up @frew.mastodon.social.ap.brid.gy; recommend following that as I can never seem to remember that blue sky exists

Paint progress today #woodworking

`…people often blame machines for personal and social problems; however, “this only humiliates man and does not correspond to his dignity,” for “it is unworthy to transfer responsibility from man to a machine.” Only the human person can be morally responsible’

Drawbored! #woodworking

Up next, drawbore. #woodworking

I made progress since this post. Sorry for forgetting about you blue sky! #woodworking

Didn’t quite wrap this today, but the rest is usually pretty quick work. #woodworking

Back from vacation and wrapped up third drawer. Tomorrow I’ll do the last drawer. #woodworking

Yeah just have to make sure the tails are wide enough to fit the blade. The first drawer face I made I didn’t use the router plane and accidentally broke through and totally ruined the whole piece. Much less risk with a router plane haha

Yeah I saw it! The trick I’ve been using is a router plane to get them to depth

1st drawer took 3 days to do because I was learning to do half blinds & in the process destroyed a drawer front. This drawer took just 1 day. I hoped it would take half that but maybe tomorrow it will and I’ll wrap up the other 2 drawers, but I doubt it. I have other choring to do. #woodworking

Mmmm #woodworking

First drawer done! #woodworking

First time I’ve done a half lap dovetail. Very tricky. Will try to do the rest (7) tomorrow but it’s slow work so might have to resume another day. #woodworking

The drawer should be pretty good #woodworking
