I finally acquired my first Disston handsaw, a #8 - for $3 at Habitat for Humanity's Restore. Disston made handsaws from 1840 to 1955 and (when properly sharpened) can hold their own with all the fancy impulse-hardened, cryogenically treated saws sold today.
Not perfect by any means, but I've removed some of the rust, flattened part of the sole, sharpened up the blade, and run it across some fir scrap. It cuts.
Oh, and also today, my youngest, my son, graduates from high school.
after realizing my blunder I moved back to working the end grain first. I'm making a very shallow groove here, nothing major. It just adds another piece to the door that is visually interesting.
75% of my plane collection rat cheer in one spot. There's something very therapeutic about cutting long paper thin strips of wood that curl up like little springs. The largest plane is English made and by far the best of the three.

A multi-driver with longer reach. It's only a 6-in-1, but sometimes the shank of the 11-in-1 is just too thick or short to reach the screws I need to access. That's where this one comes in handy.
To keep with tradition, I am using only hand tools, in this case an axe, bow saw, and a tomahawk. Very hard work, I have to fall and buck the logs with these tools. I am not falling live trees though, these are small, dead Douglas Firs.

This is the back side of my panel. I like the back side to be slightly raised as well. It adds a bit more "beef" to the door.
If you look closely you can see I've scored the shoulders. This help minimize blowout on the end grain.
This thing wasn't working when I first hauled it out of the shed, but after a little TLC and some liberal doses of Marvel's Mystery Oil (one of my new favorite things), it's purring along like a champ and cuts the hell out of the grass. This thing weighs about 40 lbs. There are two gas mowers in the shed, those have got to go.

From a mini-project featuring a selection of tools from far off years on my father's farm in Morayshire and which now reside in my garden hut. These hand tools could be sixty or more years old and have a 'rustic character' missing from their modern day counterparts. It's a shame I don't have access to my dad's old tool shed on the farm, as it would have made a great background with its stone walls and racks of miscellaneous tools along with gouged, wooden benches with their bolted-on vices. As a youngster, I could potter for hours on end in the farm tool shed; that was long before the days of health and safety.
The photograph was made in my home-studio and lit only by the modelling lights of my Elinchrom flash units. The sepia toning aids the feeling of antiquity.
