tools ⁽⁸⁾

A bench hook/simple shooting board a la Richard Maguire.  Worked well though I had to glue up a couple of smaller boards to get the width. A bird cage awl.  From a tent peg, will see if i was able to harden it well enough…

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…

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 

Simple cutting gauge from some scraps (merbau and a mystery wood).  Cutter from a piece of old jigsaw blade. Added a hole to hang it after taking the photo.
