Got the brass parts today from McMaster-Carr for the next project: a panel guage. Never thought I'd be excited to get a delivery of brass bars... #handtoolschool

Finally getting around to learn how to sharpen my saws. Starting with a crappy 80s Craftsman I don't care about. I just watched the @nkrech video again to refresh my memory and ready to give it a go. One thing I need to do before I start is put a sheet or something underneath to cover the wood stored underneath on this table to keep the filings out. #handtoolschool

All finished with the bow saw. It's hickory and koa with a coat of Osmo. Won't try cutting with until tomorrow at the earliest. #handtoolschool

Made a lot of progress on the bow saw today - hope to finish it up tomorrow. My hands are cramping up from all the filing. Really enjoying my Auriou rasps, worth the $$ for sure

Here's the project I recently finished: a custom fly tying box (walnut and cherry). Lots of storage space, a swing-out arm to hold 12 extra bobbins, and a hidden magnet in the base to keep hooks from falling on the floor. Last shot in this series shows it set up for use. #handtoolschool
