Outdoor shower coming along nicely, integrating it in with the locust edged shell driveway. Floor is bluestone and cedar. Had to completely rebuild the hot water heater, as well as numerous burst pipes.

Log joinery.

My bench deserves a flattening.

Revisiting my dovetails

How not to resaw 8/4 oak

Cutting into some maple

Some progress shots of the pergola. This was built using a minimal tool set, harkening back to my days framing wood houses. When working with 24' boards, it almost always makes more sense to bring the tool to the workpiece rather than heave the material to or thru the tool

Putting the finishing touches on this pergola. The whole thing was made from nominal dimension wood without a tablesaw or chopsaw. Ripping 24' boards is much easier with a skilsaw, and cutting small parts is much safer with a handsaw. Also much more fun!

Back to basics with some 24' long 2x10's and a #wormdrive. #carpentry

Refinishing a chair. This is a mass produce solid teak chair from Scandinavia probably made in the 1950s. Somebody had rubbed it all over with a red stain. Should look nice with just some tung oil and wax.

A quiet 1800's cabin to work in out on the Cape.

Making a saw handle

Buffed in a little wax now it's time to hang it.
