I should have been posting here but forgot.

@frew wow that chest!

[frew@mastodon.social]

@alh dude carved that in *one week*

[alh@hachyderm.io]

@frew ! With what kind of tool(s)?

[frew@mastodon.social]

@alh I wasn’t there but my guess from looking at it: a few gouges, a skew chisel or two, a punch? I’ll try to remember to ask tomorrow

[palmandneedle@norden.social]

@frew @alh uneducated guess: a few sharp irons and a lot of grit

[palmandneedle@norden.social]

@frew looking good! Are you gonna paint it when it's done?

[frew@mastodon.social]

@PalmAndNeedle not sure, haven’t decided yet!

[palmandneedle@norden.social]

@frew I vote for a nice, deep green

Day 4 #woodworking

[narthur@hachyderm.io]

@frew that’s quite the jig!

[frew@mastodon.social]

@narthur yes honestly I’d rather skip it but it was right there and made everything faster and easier so…

@frew I love a high-backed chair.

[frew@mastodon.social]

@BikesAndBBQ this will be the highest back chair I’ve made. Cat really *doesn’t* like them so it’s a struggle

[frew@mastodon.social]

Day 5. Most parts go back in the kiln so they will be dry before they go into their mortises, and swell as they come up to typical humidity, locking them in place. Note also the requisite blood sacrifice has been made. #woodworking

[frew@mastodon.social]

I have lost track of days. Maybe day 6? #woodworking

[12thrits@mstdn.social]

@frew Looking beautiful!

[frew@mastodon.social]

@12thRITS thanks! It’ll be even better

[palmandneedle@norden.social]

@frew as happens on any good voyage

[federicomena@mstdn.mx]

@frew what a nice chair!!!

[12thrits@mstdn.social]

@frew What species?
