Look at this lovely grain. I joined a guild with a community shop 45 minutes away. Today, I resawed these small Koa boards there with a bandsaw. I’m a hand tool shop, but there are times when I want to use a bandsaw. I love the idea of community-shared equipment, and not just for #woodworking.25 views Look at this lovely grain.

Today, I contemplated how common plantain looks quite amazing when it gets to grow. We’ve actually transplanted some into our yard. It’s a useful plant but it’s typically mowed down, pulled out, or worse. Until today, it never occurred to me that I could cord wrap a handle with multiple colors to make simple designs.

About

In the analog world, woodworking with hand tools, reading scifi and fantasy novels, creative writing, hiking, walking, and fly fishing. On the digital front, I’m moving away from the big tech giants and migrating many things to self-hosted solutions. #woodworking, #flyfishing, #tenkara, #handtools, #linux, #technology, #openweb
