    I gotta say the woodworker in me really enjoyed the second episode of “The Book of Boba Fett” - even if “technically incorrect “ usage of the chisel. (I didn’t want to spoil it for anyone.) 2022. Day 6. It’s early but so far, I’d have to assign a rating of “Needs Improvement” to the year. After a couple of days of being down with sinus/sorta-migraine issues (not an official diagnosis, but that’s how it feels to me), I later today started feeling well enough to prep for tonight’s snowstorm coming in. Got the snowblower started, and brought in the last of the outdoor Christmas stuff. That’s when a branch slipped up under my glasses and hit me in the eye, scratching my cornea. So the eye drops you see here will be used every few hours for a bit. I’ll follow up with my eye doc next week. Happy New Year folks! I finished honing the last two Japanese chisels I received for Christmas tonight, so my set is complete! I gotta say, these @totalboat high vis work gloves fit the bill perfectly to get a better grip when “mushrooming” my Japanese chisels. For Christmas I received the last ones to complete my set. And for the record, I do recommend piecing together a set over time. Japanese chisels can get pricey… but I really love the feel of these. Part of me feels a little odd that to set a Japanese chisel up, you need to beat it up lol. It took a bit to get the hoops off, but once I do, I strip the lacquer off. Then I compress or sometimes trim material away to refit the hoop. I’ll later refinish with a wax finish to get better feel and grip. Thanks for the gloves at #makercamp @totalboat! A clear bench… for the first time in a long while going into the Christmas and New Year. I’m enjoying the downtime and Christmas music in the shop. I’m thinking about, but not too intensely, things I’d like to work on in 2022. I really love how this finish looks on butternut. @walrusoil Furniture Butter. Simple glue gun station, but good opportunity to do hand cut dovetails. The glue gun is a cordless model so it’ll stand on its own in the recess opposite the glue stick bin. Remember that little dovetail box? Here is its role… as a glue stick bin for a glue gun holder. I’ll add cork feet and then finish. Still need a last minute gift? You might be able to still get it in time for Christmas but time’s getting short… thewoodlab.net/store NOW IN THE STORE... if you need a last minute gift… 2 ornaments, 2 wine bottle stoppers, and 2 beer bottle openers. Stainless steel hardware and blanks by @stainlessbottlestoppers - they’re good folks.
