The Woodworking ShedOkay, woodworkers! 🤓 I'm curious to know which resources helped you the most when you were starting out? Was it a book, a YouTube channel, or another woodworker? 🪚 I'm always looking for more ways to learn (and try to avoid making ALL the mistakes myself!)...<a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/woodworking" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#woodworking</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/diy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#diy</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/handtools" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#handtools</a>

wedgeI like it. The size of a No. 6, apparently.

LingF..and ideas and designs ingeniously generated suited for the environment where they are used.Using <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/handtools" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#handtools</a> in woodworking is becoming in harmony with the speed of nature, cycle of nature, and maximizing one's internal capabilities to match the interfaces of nature.This is how I understand <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/handtool" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#handtool</a> woodworking now.

wedgeThis must be a cooper’s (tonnelier’s) plane. It’s huge. That iron is at least 10cm wide. If so, we would be looking at the bottom of the plane beam (edge side faces up). But I don’t see any place for mounting the spindle legs. Granted the length is cut off in this photo. Speaking of which, it seems rather long, even for a cooper’s plane. I’m not totally convinced. Paul Bunyans’s plane, maybe.<a href="https://woodworking.group/tags/woodworking" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#woodworking</a> <a href="https://woodworking.group/tags/handtools" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#handtools</a>

CrimpermanI wanted to make a nice looking fruit <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/bowl" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#bowl</a> but I don't have a lathe (or any other workshop machinery). So I made this one with hand tools only. I love it.<a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/woodworking" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#woodworking</a> <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/handtools" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#handtools</a> Details and CC:By-SA plans here: <a href="https://www.crimperman.org/building/fruitbowl/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no">https://www.crimperman.org/building/fruitbowl/</a>Apols if you're getting deja-vu . Occasionally I will re-share previously shared projects for those who might be interested and missed it the first time.

The Woodworking ShedI've been working hard selecting tools for my beginners woodworking toolkit.You know what I've realised?I overthink a lot. I get caught up in the detail trying to find the “perfect” tool. But it doesn't matter!These aren't the last tools I will buy 🪚<a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/woodworking" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#woodworking</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/handtools" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#handtools</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/thewoodworkingshed" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#thewoodworkingshed</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/diy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#diy</a>

wedgeI’ve not bought an old tool lately. I was jonesing. So I picked up this older Darex 110 block plane. 5 €.Darex made a few block plane sizes, small to large: 101, 102, 110, 130, 131. The smallest, most rare, is a tiny thing, almost like a luthier’s plane. The two largest (always frog green paint) have reversible iron positions.The 110+ have knobs. The oldest have wood knobs with screws, like this one. Then plastic (no visible screw) in one of 3 colors.<a href="https://woodworking.group/tags/woodworking" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#woodworking</a> <a href="https://woodworking.group/tags/handtools" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#handtools</a>
