A few small tool cleanups/builds from late 2022. Stanley level - cleaned up and tuned Winding sticks - new build from some Tasmanian oak, inset magnets to snap them together for storage. Anchor rabbet/fillister plane depth stop - Similar to a Stanley #78, this plane…

Found this in hard-rubbish, was too close to functional to break down for the wood, so disassembled it, stripped the old varnish, sanded, stained and re-finished with shellac.  Alison added new fabric & it's got a new life. Original condition Disassembled & sanded Filled cracks,…

Made with a hard wood for a pleasant change (maybe silky oak? originally from a drawer from a sideboard) Pine base (top), hardwood drawer bits for sides & drawer front became the lid Groove for base One finished with beeswax, one still raw

Finally knocked together a quick insert to better use the space in the Ikea shelf for some books.

Reconfigured the drawers which makes space for the hold-fasts along the entire bench. Moved planes to the front of the cabinet. Also got a 4 1/2 plane
