So far learning how to properly sharpen these plane blades, chisels, and what not has been the most difficult part. I don't quite have it down just yet but I'm getting there.

but I'll be trying some cabinet case work for the first time soon once I draw up a plan for the shop cabinet I want to make! Going to keep that as simple as possible with glue, screws, and dado joints for the drawer slides and frame.

I made a second frame that was just a simple miter, and I'm working on a third now that will be mortise and tenon'd together.
I'm new to woodworking so it is nice to practice these basic skills on a picture frame scale instead of wasting material doing things wrong in a larger piece.

I wonder if an off the shelf surfboard rack for a bike could carry a reasonable amount of wood. I don’t have anywhere to keep a bike trailer. Maybe I could take the front passenger seat out of my car temporarily lmao
