Installed my new @benchcrafted plane stop today. Really like it, worth the effort. #handtoolschool

Finished the saw vise. It holds a saw tight, but haven’t tested it with sharpening. Need to set up a station away from my workbench for that. #handtoolschool

Making progress on a saw vise. The jaws are hard maple, adding inner bevels to fit backsaws. Hope to finish tomorrow. #handtoolschool

Found this clump of Bear’s Head Tooth mushroom today on the C&O canal near Brunswick, Maryland. Over two pounds! We ate about a third of it for dinner. What a find.
