Quick morning project: a trivet for the table made from a scrap of sapele. I drew the bird design then carved it out (just a shallow carve). It’s not my design. I found the pattern with a web search and then referred to that image on my phone while I penciled it out. Adds a bit of flair. I added feet, because why not.
I hate that I can’t remove F1 from the second row of my Apple TV Home screen. Nobody in my household will ever watch F1.

Today, I contemplated how common plantain looks quite amazing when it gets to grow. We’ve actually transplanted some into our yard. It’s a useful plant but it’s typically mowed down, pulled out, or worse.
Until today, it never occurred to me that I could cord wrap a handle with multiple colors to make simple designs. Here’s my first attempt. I like it.
As a Mainz 05 fan, I sure would love to see Amiri score a goal in this tournament. He’s always fun to watch, I like how interacts with the fans. ⚽️
It’s that time of year again when the mountain laurels bloom and I once again can’t resist taking a bunch of photos.
I assumed this would be a retro gimmick that I tried once. Then I loaded up my subs and I found I genuinely like it. I just dropped in to a video from Wood by Wright and sat through the whole thing. Is this about the paradox of choice or just a fun format? channelsurfer.tv
Look at this lovely grain. I joined a guild with a community shop 45 minutes away. Today, I resawed these small Koa boards there with a bandsaw. I’m a hand tool shop, but there are times when I want to use a bandsaw. I love the idea of community-shared equipment, and not just for woodworking.
I had an old regular shooting board I wasn’t using so I made a donkey’s ear attachment to shoot long 45 degree miters. I wanted something fast to build and precise, so I mounted the board on two cheap plastic rafter squares. It’s not pretty, but works great and completed it in about an hour.
