The original vise jaw for this workbench I had mad

The original vise jaw for this workbench I had made out of some reclaimed spruce, thinking it wouldn’t make such a difference to use a relatively soft wood for the vise jaw. I mean, the whole workbench was made out of spruce anyway. But time has showed that it does make a difference; the spruce jaw recently broke after a couple of years of use. This new vise jaw pictured here I made out of salvaged ash. I made this one thicker too, so this will probably last much longer. ✨

The second element of joinery in this project are the corner joints connecting the four boards. This time I went for a different joint design than usual, combining teeth (of a box joint) and tails (of a dovetail joint) of various widths to form an irregular pattern.

The first element of joinery in this project is a groove along the back edge of the boards. A solid wood back panel with a tongue along its edges, yet to be made, will fit into the groove later. I cut the groove with the Record combination plane pictured here.

A very delicious cocktail in which the smooth smokiness of mezcal is combined with the grapy flavor of cognac. The maraschino and punt e mes go very well together and give this drink a full flavor. Recipe by Ezra Star @softestbullet via @diffordsguide.

The marking gauge is unknown to most people (not familiar with artisanal woodworking) but is such a handy marking tool. Takes a little bit of practice for beginners though; a lot of my course participants have a complicated relationship with it 😄

A short video for @carhartt_europe in which I help @maresismore making a spice rack with box joints! It was extremely fun to do and the very skilled team of @fjamsterdam did a terrific job! I usually don't like myself on screen, but I think I look kind of cool in this video hehe 😎 (with my corona hairstyle at the time). Many thanks to @carhartt_europe and @fjamsterdam!

Made a bunch of serving boards in between projects in the last few months. Different patterns and different wood types, all leftovers from earlier projects or courses. I still need to put them on the webshop...
