Took some images at a garden (Egeskov Castle, Denmark) recently that I was reasonably happy with.

Can highly recommend a visit.

#Bloomscrolling

I got to borrow a 100 mm macro lens. It's very technically challenging.

Took a looong time, but finished the key cabinet a few weeks back. All hand tools, except dimensioning. (Because it’s boring)

Looking for advice/help!

I super-glued (cyanoacrylate) magnets to keep a cabinet door closed. Naturally, I put one of them in the wrong direction so now the door will never close. How can I get it out? They are 2mm thick, 5mm in diameter and morticed in place using a drill.

Looking for advice. A house across the street is being demolished, and it turned out to be a timber framed house, maybe 200 years old. We’re scavenging some old wood and I’m looking for ideas!

Details in thread.

Boost and any ideas appreciated!

#woodworking

Made a credenza with my dad. We have very different philosophies when it comes to woodworking, but working together is more important. ❤️

(It was initially intended to be hung from the wall, but we had second thoughts on stability and put two legs in front)

Miss the woods around where I grow up.

I’m glad to say my dovetails have improved.
I’ve been struggling with my self confidence quite a lot the last year, but I can’t say anything than I’m proud of these.

(The attempts a probably 10 years apart)

Slow progress after a long hiatus.
Need to figure out how to attach the back, then the carcass is done. (I was planning on running a groove, but the dovetail are too close to the edge)

Almost done with the #dovetails. Have decided to do this with #HandTools only, except for dimensioning.
