  • Hand tool woodworking. It’s amazing what you can make without a single electron. Its also amazing to feel the tools, the resistance and subtle vibrations as you use them. Like an extension of your own body. I love chiseling, especially large mortises. Hearing that sharp, deep thud, and seeing it sink in as it bites into the wood is so satisfying. Especially when using metal hammers, they are so responsive.

    I love sawing, especially when relaxed and working at a slow pace, seeing all the sawdust fly out with each stroke. Sawing isn’t fun when working on difficult pieces of wood, when working in a relaxed manner with softwood, the hoarse sounds of the saw starts to sound like purring and it begins to cut exceptionally well.

    I love the finish of handplanes, so smooth it becomes water resistant.

    Overall very spiritual and relaxing (as relaxing as you allow it to be at least)

    Its also the most foul state, literally. Maryland is voted the smelliest state, and I agree. Its almost always very warm and humid so everything is constantly rancid and it smells like mold and rot. Even drinking the tap water will give you a whiff of mold.

    I saw one of these at a Japanese tool event and omg they are adorable. They are sooooo tiny but incredibly versatile. Need to move this random thing like 20 feet ? Pop it on the low bed and drive over in no time flat. Need to cram it into some tiny place at the worksite? This thing can comfortably park gosh dang anywhere. Wanna look like a cool mother fucker? Pull in with your tiny adorable keitruck and pick up a load with a couple chicks. Instant pussymobile.
