If you are focusing on hand tools then I would say the following items are not always thought about, but indispensable once you use them.

  • Shooting board
  • Plane stop for your bench
  • Cheap white candles (for your plane soles)
  • Binding tape (better than masking tape for taping joints)
  • Accu-Burr burnishing rod

Are you primarily a hand tool woodworker? For the first fifteen years or so I avoided hand tools like the plague. Over the last five years I have been moving more towards hand tools and I find I enjoy woodworking a lot more.

Thank you. Inlaid dovetails are my favourite joint.

That's more impressive than you think! Plywood can be really difficult to dovetail by hand.

 

Mallet with inlaid dovetails.

 

Walnut and ash TV console I made a few months ago. Finish is Osmo Polyx and not nearly as yellow as it looks in the pictures. Must be my lighting or something.

I don't think the API cost will kill reddit but I think that this is the first of many changes coming to try and boost revenue. I have a feeling that old.reddit is next and then probably a lot more ads. It'll be the culmination of all the changes, each one frustrating different groups of users.

 

I'm going to try and add a project a day for a bit so that when people stop by the magazine isn't empty.

I built this cabinet awhile ago after doing a couple small kumiko test pieces. The case is made of ash and the kumiko is basswood and bloodwood. Finish is Osmo Polyx.
