Packing up my Japanese Toolchest with my “summertime handtool essentials “. From top left to right, vintage Stanley router plane, Veritas plow plane, James Krenov smoothing plane, Lie Nielsen 102 block plane ( inside leather holster) LN medium shoulder plane, small holder for my additional plow plane blades, two LN block planes, a No. 60 1/2 adjustable mouth and a No. 140 rabbet block plane, the wood fence for the 140 is sitting on top. Finally at the bottom, my LN low angle Jack plane. Besides the standard 25° , I pack two additional irons, one with a 38° bevel, the other a toothing iron. Over the top of this area of the toolchest will be a few tills that house my remaining tools. Chisels, greenwoodworking tools, layout tools,etc… my hand saws don’t fit in this toolchest but instead travel in a leather saw till I crafted over a decade ago. So all of these tools packed up can mean only one thing, I’ll see you on the East Coast in a few days.

Boy, if I learn one thing from James Krenov, I hope it’s this!! #woodworking #jameskrenov #krenov #acabinetmakersnotebook #philosophy #lessons #purpose (at Northwest Calgary, Calgary, Alberta)

My James Krenov smoothing plane. One of my most prized possessions. I had a viewer recently ask about how I acquired it and was fascinated that it was actually made by Krenov himself. You can hear the whole story on the latest episode of An Unplugged Life....details on the Unplugged Woodshop website. #theunpluggedwoodshop #anunpluggedlife #unpluggedsummer #woodenhandplane #jameskrenov #krenovstyleplane #handtoolsonly #handplane #eastcoast #capebreton #askmeanything #unplugged (at Belle Cote, Nova Scotia) https://www.instagram.com/p/B1jH6hqBAdB/?igshid=xakk5sdg7tac

For #handtoolthursday it's my Krenov smoothing plane. Dealing with some difficult reversing grain timber this week but the Krenov is up to the task! #theunpluggedwoodshop #handtoolthursday #krenov #smoothingplane #jameskrenov #mahogany #toronto #leslieville (at The Unplugged Woodshop)

Bedtime reading. What should I ready tonight? 😊 I can’t believe I found these #thriftstorefinds There are a few more, I should’ve bought them too but not as good as some of these. #woodworking #jameskrenov #jimtoplin

This is about the best way I can think of to pass an indeterminate amount of time while at work while my computer updates its OS... enjoying a lovely Christmas present from my parents. 😊 #woodworking #jameskrenov #cabinetmakersnotebook #reading #work #windows10upgrade #passingtime (at Northwest Calgary, Calgary, Alberta)

Well worn but much love. My submission for #woodlibraryfriday is Worker in Wood by James Krenov. This is his fourth book and is quite different from the first three. More of a recap of details, driving home ideas, reenforcing meanings and morals. Still one of my favourites! #theunpluggedwoodshop #anunpluggedlife #woodlibraryfriday #jameskrenov #madebyhand #nopowernoproblem #goodbook #learnwoodworking #cabinetmaking #inspiration (at The Unplugged Woodshop)
