Enjoy a little time in your shop this week.
Do you remember taking your first shaving with a hand plane?
How did that feel?
Could you sum it up in a single word?
How long has it been since you felt that way?
Sometimes we don't pick up our tools because there isn't enough time to get any real work done. Maybe that shouldn't be the goal. Maybe we should take one of our spare moments to simply make some shavings.
Just for fun.
How thin can you make a shaving?
How thick?
How about shaving chocolate?
(We tried all of these during a quiet afternoon at a Hand Tool event. Don't tell Tom! 😬)
You don't need a lot of time to enjoy your shop.
It doesn't take long to have a little fun.

This week's video is about 4-1/2 minutes long.
Jeff and I are getting ready to shape the profile of the practice leg into an octagon.
We'll lay them out on each end of the part without any math. Then we'll transfer the lines of the profile to the faces of the part.

Do you want to share a class or instructor with your fellow woodworkers?
