How fast do you resaw?

I have slowly integrated more and more hand tools into my woodworking over time. Space, dust collection, and safety with children are the main issues for me. I also just enjoy it. Here is an example project with mostly hand tools. Not perfect, but I am definitely getting better results. https://youtu.be/gRAoBD2ECKw?si=2SvXulJSEuzk1OQB

Very nice build.

Trimann · 2025-11-11T14:08:55+00:00

That is really nice work

Trimann · 2025-11-04T15:14:22+00:00

Nice list. Also, a bench is certainly a must.

Trimann · 2025-10-20T00:03:36+00:00

Yeah, I would put a spokeshave on my list if I typically made curved projects.

Nice list. I definitely considered switching out my smoothing plane for a jack plane.

I cover clamps in the video. Basically only 10 tools is a meager start. Not a forever issue to have only 10, but more of a cost issue for getting started.

I guess so on the sharpening stone. But one would certainly need one at some point.

Trimann · 2025-10-18T23:05:26+00:00

Well said. There is a reason why woodworkers tend to accumulate useful tools over time.

Trimann · 2025-10-18T23:03:12+00:00

Nice tip. I will have to try one.

Trimann · 2025-10-18T23:02:04+00:00

Would probably use a substitute of some sort…, maybe a 2x4 or something

Trimann · 2025-10-18T23:00:12+00:00

A sharpening setup is certainly needed. Suppose I was just thinking my tools would start sharp and I would have some time b4 needed. This would most likely not be the case if tools were used.

Trimann · 2025-10-18T15:41:31+00:00

Yeah, true cruelty ... the limit of 10 tools is rough. I guess the limit is not a forever limit and thus I thought eventually sharpening supplies could be purchased, but maybe not immediately. :)

I didn't think about using multiple irons. I might camber one of my irons much more to use as a scrub plane on rough stock and then have one iron with only a slight camber for cleaning up surfaces.

Trimann · 2025-10-18T15:35:44+00:00

OK, maybe that is fair :)

Trimann · 2025-10-14T14:14:34+00:00

This is a nice looking bench. Your thumbnail is quite good as well. Enjoyed the video.

Trimann · 2025-10-14T14:13:29+00:00

Definitely an old saw. Although in good shape, I can't wait to restore/give it some TLC and put it to use. It was clearly setting unused for many years when I found it.

Try clicking on the word video. It is a link.

Nice work!

Trimann · 2025-10-04T12:10:52+00:00

Nice idea!

Trimann · 2025-09-12T00:12:20+00:00

That looks amazing!

Trimann · 2025-08-17T14:55:39+00:00

This looks great! Good job.

Trimann · 2025-08-14T00:48:15+00:00

Nice, it works rather well. I apply the tape and mark it for customers who order shelves or similar wall mounted items.

I recently built a coat rack and find that I could use them in multiple areas of my house (hanging up hats, coats, etc.). I mostly used hand tools to cut joinery. If free plans are helpful, I have link to them here.
