The End of Winter Break (Back into the Workshop)

Izzy started school today, which gave me the chance to get back in the workshop. I’m starting the build on the Danish Cord bench. Today I started to saw out the legs. I don’t have any power tools in the shop yet (okay, I do have a cordless drill, but that is it), so the sawing is going slow. I’ll see how much I miss having a stationary saw, but I already know that getting the boards to proper thickness by hand will be a lot of not-very-fun work. So, a lunchbox planer is on my short list.

The shop itself is slowly coming together. I do need a place to hang my chisels, and better storage for the hand planes. But it is working for now.

Workbench setup in the shop. The wall behind is still pretty bare, but I’m slowly working on that. At least the saws are up.
