Found Dreaming

I can't be controlled. You mere mortals should not even attempt such a thing. https://media.tenor.com/fQlt4OtCfXsAAAAM/i-have-the-power-power.gif Lol, that was alot of fun, but waaay too humid and hot for me there, lol. We'll have to all get together again some day and do a casting party or somethi...

I posted something on here a while back I think of using card scrapers for woodworking for smoothing out 3d prints, which is alot faster than doing it with sanding really, and you get alot better finish too. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a4e9JJkinvk Cool engine, since youve moved on from the O&...

Really, I just want to make my life easier for making patterns with, so Ive been making up these planes, but even if I dont use them, I know some of them are quite expensive to buy, so I can always turn around and sell them if something comes up and I need the money. So Ive been looking at them as b...

It's hard to say how long it really took to make the planes tbh. I know the miter planes, it probably took 15 mins to bend them around the form and get them squared up and such since the forge was already hot, took maybe an hour at the mill to rough out the dovetails on both of them, 3-4 hours of fi...

lol, we all need a break sometimes, so I just gave myself a good enough excuse, lol. Really, Im going stir crazy since I was so close to finishing up a bunch of projects, and now I cant work on any of it since I cant get grinding dust and junk in the cuts. As for the chisels, youre more than welcome...

As soon as the chisels were done and shellac was dry, i was wanting to play with them and just holding onto a piece of wood (first bad idea) to see how they worked in pine, and they worked great, but I was getting ready for bed and was tired, (yep, you see where this is going) and the chisel I was u...
