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

Apple TV is developing quite a sci-fi portfolio. Now they are making a Murderbot show (this series from Martha Wells is great fun, highly recommend): www.theverge.com/2023/12/1… 📚
