New to this forum. I've only looked around a bit, but I may not be the best candidate for entry here. My interest is almost exclusively woodworking and woodworking tools, jigs and fixtures, both hand and power tools. If I'm not a good fit please let me know.
I'm a cabinetmaker by trade and on the side, build furniture for home and family, occasionally on commission. I've also dabbled in canoes and archery.
Lately, I've been playing with making my own hand tools. To date, a couple wood bodied planes, a pair of spokeshaves, a drawknife and a series of mallets. The blades I've made have been from old files and so far leave a lot to be desired simply because I haven't taken time to reharden the blades after milling. Since I'm in an experimental/prototyping stage that is no detriment at this time. A Krenov style plane and the drawknife have been the most successful so far.
Looking forward to seeing more of what's at hand here.
Best,
Tom
