Not a glamorous piece, but nonetheless a very useful one; it’s been sitting on my todo list for a long time and finally I took the time to make one out of a leftover piece of White Oak; it’s a simple pairing block for 45° and 90° angles that I can use to guide my chisels when I need good accuracy. At 1-3/4” wide, it pushed my shooting board to its limit. #WorkbenchAppliance #HandToolsOnly #WhiteOak #Oak #Woodworking
I will be using sliding dovetails and angled rabbets in some of my upcoming projects, so I decided to make myself a couple of guides: one to saw the kerfs for the female part and one to pare the male with a chisel. I then tried cutting my first sliding dovetail joint and I was really very happy; you get perfect angles and you only have to pay attention to size. #WorkbenchAppliance #SlidingDovetail #HandToolsOnly #WhitePine #Poplar #Woodworking
