Hi there! I basically consider myself still having a lot to learn about hand tool woodworking. I've been building with them for a bout 7 or 8 years now, although I have been building guitars for over 12, mostly electrics using power tools. I don't have a shop, so work out back on an outdoor bench I built for the purpose. In that time I cannot count the number of trips back and forth to get this tool or that tool I forgot or did not realize I was going to need until i reached the point of realisation, in the middle of it all. So my intentions are now to build a toolbox to house all of my essential tools. One light enough, hopefully, to tote out back. I understand that a toolbos is probably one of the first things most hand tool woodworkers build, so what can I say' I'm a late bloomer. This will be an ongoing thread, and it will be slow going. I'm in the middle of an acoustic build that I would like to complete before the freeze sets in, so will be building this where I can squeeze it in, and where lumber purchase permits. I start with the front panel, which I'll glue up from 1x8 pine. So, put them togethe and pop them in the vise. Then they get the plane.

I do a lot of centering, punching center and marking with an ice pick, and an awe. I know these are very basic tools, but I use them a lot. Now I have added another to my favorite list. The auto-punch. For years I wonder what good they could possible be, certainly couldn't be better that my awe. Well.................I was wrong. I got an auto-punch on sale and love the way it works. The absolute best part is one handed operation. None of that punch in one hand and hammer in the other. Call me old fashioned or a slow learner. The old dog did learn a new trick

One of the very first woodworking blogs I ever became interested in is this blog by Kari Hultman, a wonderful craftswoman and artist really, in my opinion she brings hand tooled woodworking to another level of refinement. Kari and I have been social media buddies since the old days of this blog, even though Kari has picked up a new line of work and interest (leather), I still visit her blog frequently. It reminds of a time on the internet when things were just simpler, and straight forward, and her old blog is still live, whenever I visit the blog, a nice cozy warm feeling comes over me, enjoy!
