Broke out The Woodworking Shed sharpening system for the first time! A little nervous honing the edge on a brand new chisel, having never sharpened a tool before! But it turned out pretty well. I got a burr, a shiny finished, and it cuts effortlessly! #woodworking #handtools

Never owned a carpenter's square until now, and honestly, how did I live without it?! Squares, angles, offsets – it's absolutely incredible. And one thing's for sure: with this colour, I'm never losing it! 📐 Which marking & measuring tool can't you live without? #woodworking

Spotted these on Vinted for £8 so picked them up! I don't think the brace will be much good but I'm hoping the auger bits can be cleaned up nicely! Bad buy or have I saved myself a small fortune? #woodworking #handtools
