Wood is beautiful

#woodworking #woodisbeautiful

After the game ist before the game. One fine piece of woodwork handed over to it's new owner, the next idea is already getting shaped - thats how it should be!) #woodworking #inlays #tictactoe

Going to build a tic tac toe game for a friend... quite a lot 45° angles)))

#Cup made of #basswood, oiled. Some relax for my hands after several cups made of quite harder woods like #apple, #plum and #plane tree... #woodworking #woodcarving #woodencup #coffee #coffecup #guksi #kuksa #kasa

Today I went through all country to pick up a buffet from 1916 for my #workshop . From the wine yards to the mountain forrest. Love it, thought there's still some restauration job left to do. Though the color is a little bit out of topic, I even start to like it. Let's see.

Stick of apple wood to set my wooden planers

Just walked through a tool shop before. Saw a "planer setup hammer" for 50€. Seriously?)) What would it do better than that piece from the apple tree in my garden?

The raw #spokeshave made of #pear wood is finished. Happy with the result - fits better to my hands, more accurate handling and by changing angle & size of the base it can perform now even tiny concave structures. Now jumping for some days in a bottle of #linseed oil.

Wooden coffee cup with parts of a spokeshave and a piece of pear wood

Morning #coffee in the workshop. Need to make a new #spokeshave, my old one broke. Originally made from Indonesian #redwood, I have some piece of #pear #wood around for the new one. Think it will look nice! #woodworking #pearwood

Whatever you call it, it's a simple but very conveniant tool...

Man muss aber der Vollständigkeit halber erwähnen, dass Schüssels Strategie der "Entzauberung" noch viel ineffektiver und zerstörerischer war - auch für seine eigene Partei. Auf mich wirkt das Interview nicht wie ein anderer Blickwinkel, sondern die Verteidigungsrede eines gescheiterten Politikers?

It's a nice "fits for everything" tool. Whenever I need quick cuts I use it. If you never used a pullsaw, be careful at the beginning. Pullsaws have very thin blades, don't use any pressure when pushing or it might deformation or even break...

A new jewelry box. Sometimes i have a solid plan. Sometimes i have a plan and while building I nevertheless do what i feel to do. Sometimes I simply start building, without any planing. Like now. The sides will be from #oak wood. That's what is clear so far. Rest will come. #woodworking #boxmaking

That's so wonderful!

Work bench with a Japanese Kumiko pattern

I did it :) ... As far away from perfect as the moon from the sun, but for the first Kumiko it's ok I guess...

Thanks, will go for DesKing. At the moment I have Matt Kenney's book.

First steps with Kumiko. Still some way to walk, but so much fun and relaxing in some way

Extreme archaic tool, but an surprisingly effective alrounder in my #spokeshave garage

Es war Ihre Entscheidung, die FPÖ in die Regierung zu lassen. Das Problem ist nur, dass wir alle das ausbaden müssen. (Kein) Dank dafür...

Thanks!)

Fail but no fail - It should have been a box lid. Wasn't satisfied how it turned out. Now it's going to be a cutting board :)

After all I gave it a try. Yes, you can. The effect is way more subtle than when used as an alcohol based stain, but adds a decent reddish to the shellac polish.

Applied 3rd layer of frech polish now. Might add another 3 or 4, then final polishing. Love the process, though such small surfaces are rather difficult to handle... #woodworking #boxmaking #shellac #Frenchpolish

Anybody out there in the #woodworking bubble who has experience adding Dragon's Blood pigments to #shellac polish? Or is it better to mix it with oil like tung oil for a basic application before the shellac polish?

Same like you - "ok, what else it could be used for?" ... :)

After more than 30 years of manually sharpening my chisels and planers I finally bought a wet stone sharpening system. So far I was sitting each month one full day in my workshop, sharpening by hand. Now it's done in an hour... Less time for maintainance, more time left for building! #woodworking

Thanks a lot!
