If you’ve been here before, you may have picked up that I love woodworking and old woodworking tools.

Here’s a video that shows the kind of work I’d like to be able to produce someday (if I live long enough). Making a living in real estate takes a lot of time these days, so my hours in the shop are few, and this stuff takes lots of time and practice. Oh well, maybe [...]
