This week's video from my husband, @Woodmachinist , is about frame saws. It's also about the barred owls that live nearby. (It makes sense in context, I swear.)

Another video from @Woodmachinist (AKA, my husband, Matt). This time, he's talking about the differences between rip saws and crosscut saw.

J'allais faire un post dessus.

J'affute en coticule jaune des Ardennes, et j'achète chez Ardennes Coticule (le nom s'invente pas).

C'est :
- faire fonctionner une entreprise a taille humaine
- ne pas aller chercher une pierre chez les ricains ou les jap. Impact carbone
- ne pas faire tourner une usine (pierres synthétiques, diamant)
- une pierre qui part de 800 et qui peut monter à 6 000/10 000 (bon à ce niveau, ça veut plus rien dire).

J'affute mes rabots, ciseaux à bois, couteaux,... tous !

Felling 9 holly trunks (~25 ft) and selectively salvaging the best sections for lumber. Holly is dense, fine-grained, and beautifully pale when fresh—too good to waste. Branches will be chipped; straight logs are to be milled on a Timberking 1220 band saw for small woodworking projects.

Really trying hard to come to 1/16" with hand tools because I can't find law bowling leagues in Northern Ontario but...might have to find something else if this keeps up :(

Thinking more on tools & that gets me into the most common thing I'll likely use, namely a groove plane or maybe 2, as I'll need something that's can made at least 3/4th inch wide grooves, beyond the "typical" 1/4th inch, which I doubt I'd use much, as I hate plywood.

Most likely having seen the Paul Sellers video & how adjustable this design is , I'll try to find a few sensible Chisels tomorrow, after the roof repairs & see if I can't then basically follow along to make at least the 1/2 inch & 3/4 inch grooves to make the chicken pen builds quicker & easier.

I decided against trying to get a jointer and planer in my tiny workshop and got an old stanely jack plane. I am also keeping my eyes peeled for a number 4 plane also.
If I ever end up getting the cash together to build my workshop maybe ill get a power planer but I also don't wood work enough for that, and recycling tools that ate older than I am just feels right.
