The Barn


I am lucky to have my dad's haw mow as my work space. The timbers can dry slowly and hopefully w/o too much cracking. I have a rechargable DeWalt worklght and use head lamps for lighting. With the timbers re-stacked the plan is to make (2) sawhorses first as to get practice with the new tools.

The chisel and slick from Barr Tools are awesome tools and worth every penny. The hand saw from Garrett Wade took some getting use to @ first but I am still glad I am using all traditional hand tools. The following are a few of my first mortise and tenons.
