Re: Wood Shop Al Fresco Redux

Irony! I'm just across the bay from you, in Berkeley, and face similar issues. We lived in SF for 8 years and your backyard looks so familiar. :)

It's great that you're making this work for you.

I've gone a different route and made a bunch of knockdown stuff that I can cram into various nooks and crannies: http://roughwood.kennethwoodruff.com/

Re: Tommy MacDonald and WGBH pursue a new woodworking show

I like watching people use their hands for something other than pushing buttons and adjusting gauges. Best of luck to Tommy.

Re: Borrowing Tools

Since my wife cut off a chunk of her finger with a knife that I sharpened for her (http://roughwood.kennethwoodruff.com/?p=165), I don't think anyone will have the cojones to attempt to borrow my tools. Another reason to keep them sharp folks.

Re: A Dedicated Sharpening Bench- Part 2: A Workbench Surface

Tom builds stuff by hand because he likes to, and it's about time that more of these techniques are brought back to light. Thanks to Tom for posting his process.

In recent years it has become oddly Luddite to hang on to the notion that working with hand tools is something which belongs only to the past.
