Result of yesterday's work: three hand planes with five additional holes for the shooting grip. (On the Veritas Low-Angle Smoother I was able to re-use the existing hole for the grub screw for lateral blade adjustment.)
It's much more comfortable than without the grip on all three planes (but quartersawn oak is still a pain to shoot 🙈)
Herb chopper make from scrounged up steel the blade is made out of some old cultivator tine
And the handles are made out of some hickory tool handle scraps
There’s something deeply satisfying about turning discarded materials into something useful again.
One of my favourite parts of forging is foraging.

Upon joining Heroku a few years back, one of the maxims that I heard cited frequently was that of building small, sharp tools, the idea of building minimalist, composable programs that worked in concert to a degree of effectiveness that was more than the sum of their parts. The classic example of such a system was the Unix shell, which contains a set of small utilities that provide a highly effective operating environment. Despite its origin in Unix, a number of people at Heroku including a founder and a few lead engineers had found that it lent itself quite naturally to building modern web platforms.
