Midcentury modern coffee table in walnut. I call it the Alvorada, any guesses why? #woodworking #furniture #interiordecorating #midcentury #mcm

Bought a 1910s Stanley No. 8 to restore and the tote was this weird yellow color and the finish was worn off. I figured it was a replacement. But after sanding, I was shocked to find this rosewood underneath. It sanded like oxidation, not a stain or finish. Anyone ever seen something like this?

The electrolysis machine is up and running. Knocking the rust off some older Sampson dividers/calipers. Tool restoration is my other other hobby.

250 bdft of 50 year old Pennsylvania walnut coming this morning. I’m gonna need another shed. #woodworking #myprecious

I love this chair & photo. It’s comfortable and adjustable. The lighting here is perfect. It highlights the black Latigo leather and brings the reds out of the padauk legs, while hinting at something stately and adventurous. Available. #woodworking #woodturning #leathercraft #midcenturymodern

Mystery rosewood (I suspect cocobolo) cooking spoon. Another scrap project from last week. Projects for this week will include stropping the bejezus out of my carving / whittling knives. #woodworking #woodcarving #kitchentools #handmade

Scrap bin project from this weekend - Osage and purpleheart kids kitchen knives. Walnut and brass dress up the handles a little bit. #woodworking #montessori #kidsinthekitchen #toddlertools

Ever wanted to try something new but got put off by all the jargon and terminology? You aren't alone. At The Woodworking Shed I've made it my mission to present my woodworking journey jargon free. Perhaps I need a slogan: Woodworking For All 🪚 thewoodworkingshed.substack.com

Not everything turns out as you envision. This experiment was supposed to be Midcentury/Atomic pattern with brass and steel inlay into walnut. I thought it would be a good study piece for a distinctively-framed wall art but it didn’t stand out. 🤷‍♂️ On to the next one… #woodworking #midcentury #retro

One of the best parts of being a craftsman is using your skills & tools to create something unique for your situation. I needed a kids table, but not a Fancy Kids Table. With cedar fencing, a 4x4 and an afternoon, you can have a (quick) custom solution for your problem. #woodworking #maker #diy

Based on the classic Klein bag, this utility bag is made from 12 oz. harness leather. Saddle stitched and hand set rivets throughout. 1/4” backing board sewn to the bottom. This thing is built to last through your grandkids retirement. 2 available. #leatherwork #leathercraft #electrician #plumber

Getting settled back in the shop after the holidays, various illnesses and general malaise. To get these leatherworking tools off my bench I have to finish the project. Baby steps through all (gestures broadly) this. #crafting #leatherwork #diy #toolsandtheownersthatlovethem

Was late to tiktok but enjoyed peeking in a bit while there was time. My own videos never hit the big time and I only had so much time to devote. The politics of the ban are messed up, as we all know. Anyway, welcome refugees. Here’s a chair I make and sell. #woodworking #furniture #tiktokrefugee

Glow up time! 19th century Stanley No. 45 combination plane. Befores & afters 🪚 #woodworking #antique #tools #restoration

Does anyone in art or printmaking have the inside track on Marushka prints from the 70s? Been trying to find more info on this 5 piece print for a while. It’s huge! (48”+) but outside of what I’ve found re: the company online. #retro #marüshka #printmaking

I love these flat files for organizing small parts. I’ve gone through #diy divider systems, Schaller boxes, and found containers but the best so far are these Milwaukee low packout organizers with custom 3D printed dividers. #organization #woodworking #electronics #maker

Pretty minimal restoration aside from structural stuff. Clients were fine with it continuing to show its age and wear. Brushed about 5 coats of amber shellac from flake. #woodworking #antiques #restoration #finishing

Edge grain wall-mounted desk made with 1950s-era reclaimed solid core plywood. I don’t think it would work with modern plywood but it was great to find a use for this salvaged material. #woodworking #maker #homeoffice

I think we found the right menorah. #woodworking #hanukkah #chagsameach
