"Bend or burn" - how to persuade wood with words

This simple tablet stand must be my most used make of the last few years. What's yours? #maker

I don't recognise this one. Any thoughts? #guessthetree #worldofwoods (at Beachy Head)

Day away from the workshop

Tiny lenses really aren't good are they

#guessthetree #worldofwoods A lot of these in the wooded areas within a mile or so of Beachy Head. (at Beachy Head)

That's better. Now to make some elderflower wine. Oops, did I say wine, when of course I mean cordial 😉

Uncle to the rescue, again 😉

Today's job. Cutting back overhanging elder from machine shop before flowers turn to berries and make the roof sticky.

Hand cut mortise and tenon filmed for my Woodworking for Beginners series. Perfect shoulder lines no problem with my simple method, which can be used used with power tools as well. #woodwork #handcut #unplugged #woodworking #makers

First green log to finished tool project. Many thanks to the Association of Pole-Lathe Tuners and Green Woodworkers, and in particular Andy, who patiently guided this seasoned wood worker through the process. If you haven't worked green wood, or tried a pole-lathe before, check out http://www.bodgers.org.uk and find an event near you.

Paperwork day - don't you just love it 😂 Comment "Submitted" if you've done your 2017/18 return already If not, hope it goes quicker than mine.
