I just looked at the iOS top charts and it struck me how far I’ve diverged away from the mainstream of app downloads. I don’t use any of the apps on the list until #35 (Discord), which I use occasionally.

Making some wooden nails with scraps (with a dowel plate) while I wait for glue to dry on panels, which are just tiny dowels shaped to a point with a chisel. They work great for small box projects and are a good use of small hardwood scrap.

A wooden nail on a piece of wood, a wooden nail inserted into the same piece of wood; behind that a chisel, a wood scrap, and a dowel making jig.

Gluing up the bottom of my cabinet project with my random assortment of clamps. Project is going well so far. Going to attempt half blind dovetails across 25 inches.

A woodworking setup in a workshop features several wooden boards held together with multiple clamps on a workbench.
