Sorry that woodworking has let you down lately! It's still a great art and pastime. (You showed up in my woodworking feed, don't mean to butt in) Have you considered building a chair? I guarantee you could do it, and it is so satisfying to get back in the shop. Good luck!

Nice pick on the kaweco brass! Have you looked at manifold nibs for ballpoint replacement?

It's hard to isolate all the danger points of an all in one machine at once, and when they are covered it's usually not as well covered as a dedicated machine. After another look this is similar to a Shopsmith but not quite the same. With your small shop space maybe you should look at a real mk V.

Looks like a Shopsmith to me. Marketed as an all in one tablesaw, lathe, jointer and more! They seem very useful, but also incredibly dangerous.

They are gorgeous though! Do you do a lot with pre 1700s re-creation?

That's wonderful! I've been needing a new hand sweeper, and I've slowly been working toward making a turkey wing broom for cleaning shavings off my work bench. Perhaps I should consider a besom.

What's a besom?

Hewing hatchet, bow saw, brace with 1" auger bit.
With these you can build both shelter and furniture, and wait for rescue in style.

I like the joint in the handle, it reminds me of cottonwood twigs. Great spoon!

I know it's not the vibe you are going for, but I read this and thought, "ruin-ated"

This is great! I got really worried for a minute until I saw pic 3, that vertical board should do a lot to combat racking.

I haven't done much with engraving, but that banding effect on the un-engraved part looks like a sanding challenge. Do you send these through a lunchbox planer or something before it gets the laser?

Is there even carbon steel that far up? Wow.

That's a great garage! Uhh, wierd question, but what did you use as a reference for the cabinet doors? I really like that look.

Je ne connaissais pas le Black Limba, mais il est très joli. Je vais devoir voir à quel prix je peux l'obtenir ici à Denver.

You showed up on the woodworking feed, so now you've got to be a wood worker! You can actually get started very simply without a huge space or tool investment. Check out Rex Kruger on youtube, he has a whole playlist called "woodworking for humans"

I think this is the way I'll be going. Rex Kruger has a video on making one I'll likely copy. Just need to source a good screw. (No pun intended)

Uffda, that's a kick in the pants. Seems like a perfect reason to make chairs then!

What's wrong with the Windsor? (Not that you need a reason to make a great chair)

The shoe is perfectly proportioned for that flair, this is awesome!

WileyX is a brand famous for work rated perscription glasses, I'd recommend those.
