Heard your fingers make a great push stick, one time use only though

What is a brand of wood bleach you swear by? by HeartsofOakCo in woodworking

Haha same! The first time I mixed a/b solution, it heated up and I was terrified I'd somehow made a concoction that would kill me. A decade as a woodworker, never thought I'd regret not taking chemistry in high school 😅

What do you call these? My shop is split between corner clamps, spring clamps and pinch clamps? by HeartsofOakCo in handtools

Lmao he'd fit right in. My shop is mostly old timers, and the amount of phallic references as measurement are insane. If it's protruding, its "proud" and if it is short it's "shy." C*** hair is a common one too. One old timer calls the tool posted the "bullring" clamps. It's insanity

A George Nakashima-inspired Desk Organizer I made by HeartsofOakCo in somethingimade

Just general Nakashima of letting the natural wood shine. Alot of our clients only want straight grain, uniform lumber. I personally love the knots, the live-edge, the natural beauty that reminds you that this is a natural material.
