I decided to carve the handles of my main carving tools into replicas of my fingers. I don't know why, but I do know that they need a tool rest in the shape of my palm. I'm having way too much fun. After this I'm going to do a smoothing plane in the shape of my foot! What should I do after that?? ------------------------------------------------ #woodworking #woodcarving #woodworkersofinstagram #woodwork #realcraft #imake #iliketomakestuff #modernmaker #oldtools #handtools #literalhandtools #upcycle #upcycle #artistsoninstagram #creativityfound #creativelifehappylife #creativeprocess #workbench #workshop #handmade #adecentproject #dowhatyoulove #dowoodworking #woodisgood #weirdart #weirdworking #weirdworker #fixthisbuildthat #mfpbehindthescenes (at Keith Decent)

The problem with buying all of your tools from estate sales is... sometimes you end up with haunted tools. Although this ghost sure knows how to tune a hand plane, maybe I'll hold off on calling the priest. --------------------------------------------- #woodworkersofinstagram #woodworking #weirdworking #weirdworker #oldtools #handtoolthursday #handtools #iliketomakestuff #imake #mfpbehindthescenes #fixthisbuildthat #modernmaker #woodworker #woodshop #workbench #handplane #ghostplane #woodshavings #woodshavingwednesday #adecentproject #makersgonnamake #makersmovement #carpentry #stopmotion #stanleytools #beaconny #hudsonvalley (at Keith Decent)

Been keeping this idea a bit under wraps because I love it so much which means it must be REALLY strange. Should I make this?? #weirdworker #artfurniture #rugtufting (at Fort Decent) https://www.instagram.com/p/CRqMjxQtzCC/?utm_medium=tumblr

This is the “Hand Tool Tool Hand Hand Tool Stand” you can hear me talking to @federknives about in the latest episode of @thefullblastpodcast. It’s modeled after my own hand, and was my first ever sculptural carving project! Bonus points if you can identify all the tools I included. Mega bonus points if you know about the secret I also included! #handtools #woodcarving #weirdworker #woodart (at Fort Decent) https://www.instagram.com/p/CRJ2hlJN3RI/?utm_medium=tumblr

What kind of desk do I need? Well... #rocklerdeskchallenge #furnituredesign #weirdworker (at Hopewell Junction, New York) https://www.instagram.com/p/CFlTT9nhFeD/?igshid=b16ivqmh5cri

Making this wooden cloth, bearskin rug cost me a good chunk of my time and a bunch of glue, but not any actual money. The wood was reclaimed maple and oak shelving along with the walnut panels from a junked wardrobe, and the cloth was an old drop cloth. Big idea, big fun, zero dollars! ————————— #reclaimed #upcycled #upcycledinteriors #reclaimedinteriors #weirdworker (at Hopewell Junction, New York) https://www.instagram.com/p/CCZzwd6hks5/?igshid=17gb8zsw2smiw
