Friends: 

I had such a good time making the 3 tool bench that I decided to follow it up with another 3 tool build. This time, I'm making a mallet with the same hatchet, saw, and drill. When my mallet is done, I have something to hit my hatchet with, which makes it a lot more useful. 

This looks like the start of a new series for me. I'm going to call it "Woodwork for Humans" and it's going to be about the most bare-bones woodworking possible. Soon, we'll add a basic plane and a bigger saw to the kit and I think I'll build a really simple and compact workbench as the next big project. When you get away from fancy, ultra-perfect cabinet-making, the possibilities seem endless. 

Good things on the way!

Got to the end of the post and realised I wasn't logged in... set to unlocked I think?

From my end, it looks like I set it up just for Patrons, but I'll double check. Thanks for the heads-up.

Great video, and I think a good idea for a series

Rex Krueger

I'm glad you think so! I don't think anyone else is covering this hyper-minimal handtool area, so I can expand my niche!

I'll give this one 2 thumbs up. I'd give more, but I aonly have the two. Looking forward to more in this series.

Loving this series! Maybe before a workbench, a shaving horse/saw bench would be appropriate?

Rex Krueger

I'm actually going to make a low bench, so it will work as a saw bench, too. I think the shave horse will come this summer when i can work outside. Thanks for such great suggestions!
