This morning, in a short session in the shop, I got two more sticks turned round. So far, they’re all fairly straight grain, so this should be a very sturdy chair. Two more sticks to go, and all of the round pieces of wood will be round, and I’ll need to start drawing things on the chair-seat to figure out the angles and lengths for the joinery.
It ain’t going fast, but it’s going. #WoodWorking
Two logs and another broken screw extraction later. One log to go. 
Somehow my body aches a lot today. I can only imagine how people must have felt after sawing logs to boards 100 years ago. 
Japanese Carpentry exhibition at Japan House is pretty amazing if you like a bit of #WoodWorking (oops, just edited to say Japan House, rather than Japanese House, which it had autocorrected to!)
Luis Mendonça de Carvalho, Francisca Maria Fernandes, and Ana Paula Figueira are three of the author of a paper dedicated to "a centuries-old woodworking tradition that has stood the test of time": the wooden locks and keys of the island of Corvo (Azores).

Considering a tool that I designed for my own use (a razor slide paper cutter) and went "Huh, this can't be used by the left-handed" before going "But I", dramatic Westley flourish "am not left-handed!"
This means that I have spent too much time watching The Princess bride*.
*I don't believe "too much time watching The Princess Bride" exists
Gaaah, what did I get myself into here with this 46 kg monstrosity…?! I can hardly lift it myself. This will be interesting to get through the bandsaw.
I really gotta learn to say no to such things 
But it's one nice long cherry log…
(Oops, did I say one? I meant three – the other ones are hiding out of frame. Luckily they're a bit lighter!)

I've been avoiding acquiring 'stuff' for a while, particularly for the #workshop, but I decided to bid on half a dozen items in a local #auction, for things I know I'd certainly use in my #woodworking and never-ending home reno chores.
One can never have too many clamps, drill bits, nor router bits, so I'm taking a shot at some of those with low bids that'll probably fail.
Will announce my haul later!
So sieht Glück aus

Mixed weekend. Bought some wood and built a new door for my shed. Took the C172 to the skies, for a short fly-out along the East-Frisian islands.
Not going to lie, putting a dog hole in my bench hook was an act of genius
Small weekend #woodworking project: power outlets under the table and a space to hide all the cables.
I've been working hard selecting tools for my beginners woodworking toolkit.
You know what I've realised?
I overthink a lot. I get caught up in the detail trying to find the “perfect” tool.
But it doesn't matter!
These aren't the last tools I will buy
