Utility room shelves complete.

Working on a project to build a couple of utility room shelves using big box store poplar, which is proving to be a fun hand tool challenge. The top shelf is joined with dovetails, the bottom shelf ends are 3/8" dados with through-tenons that will have cherry wedges. Tools used: rip saw, carcase saw, router plane, chisels, and a swing brace. #woodworking #handtools

While the concept of “forest bathing” is popular, I prefer to think of my explorations as “forest diving.” #hiking

Received the Rock Paper Pencil kit from Astropad today, and I’m impressed with the pencil/paper feel on my iPad. I’ve tried many (most) of these solutions and this is by far the best experience. The magnetic, removable screen cover and fine point pencil tips are brilliant. Worth it if you like to draw with your device.

Bought an old lamp from an antique store and it had this quaint old thing in it. We don’t talk about it much, but the LED lighting revolution is quite profound.
