Woodworking and other Adventures

Another random non woodworking project I just did was start to learn to sew on a sewing machine. My first project was a Dopp bag following this tutorial https://beckystern.com/2023/07/02/dopp-kit-bag-sewing-pattern/

Random small project I’ve been doing to make a better travel screwdriver. I usually take my weatherman, and realized I could just 3D print a custom handle

Did this the other day and hadn't gotten to posting about it. About two years ago I built my new workbench, and installed a vice (original post under the break), then never went back and made a handle. Instead I was using whatever scrap I could find at the time. Now I have a nice handle!

Turned a random bowl out of walnut, was mainly just messing around with the external curve. Now it is holding clementines.

Woodworking adjacent work today, I turned my stockpile of local beeswax from the farmers market into a beeswax finish.

Been turning a lot of baby rattles recently, and am starting to have more rattles than I know what to do with.

Started working on my first chair, got the legs attached and noticed I messed up a little bit. Not quite sure how I managed it. Still have a lot left to do, but it's a start.

Been working on a staked table for the last little while. Had a random price of oddly shaped wood I picked up somewhere. It's cat approved.

Ended up being extra motivated today and got a coat of garnet shellac onto the new toolbox
