Woodworking could be a nice hobby. Look at this brilliant and beautiful joinery

 

[HopeSings]

I would like to make a small woodworking bench that I can carry or wheel outside and use it to make bird houses and other things. I just need a little 2x4 lumber, glue, and I also need a vise either fabricated by myself or purchased from a retailer. Keep it simple and cheap is my motto

 

[HopeSings]

I want to dissappear from the world around me. I pray for God's help to bless my mind and my hands. The world only seeks to hurt me.

 

[HopeSings]

(Plans for my portable woodworking bench.)

Size: 2'x3' table top size. it's 36" high.

Material: Douglas fir 2x4 lumber

Buy a vice and bench dogs.

Design it so the table folds down and can be wheeled away and stored against a wall or in a corner.

Also include a folding or removable lower shelf for tools storage.

Time to go do a little welding on my forging tool.

 

[HopeSings]

I got a little further with the blacksmith tool. I made a couple design mistakes but I correct them. This tool will be a tool holder for punches and chisels but will also be like a guillotine tool. It's will serve both needs. And it's free made from scrap metal that I have. It won't be like the guillotine tool seen below but I'll use the same type dies with the tool holder

I didn't like the sloppy hinge I welded on my tool holder that I'm making. I found something better. It's the hinge from an old scissor jack used for lifting automobiles. It's tougher and fits line a glove I think. So I'll cut a few welds and git er done. God willing.

 

[HopeSings]

Lol the new hinge has play in it as well. I'm unsure if it even matters. But I think I'll fix it anyway. I know how to remedy this situation. Perhaps the third attempt will be satisfactory.

 

[HopeSings]

This hobby thing is a real blessing. I use to wake up with warfare each morning but now I worship God and pray. And I think about the hobby or what I might do today.

 

[HopeSings]

I figured out the hinge on my tool that I'm making. Like life it was trial and error.

Like life it was trial and error.

Absolutely

 

[HopeSings]

Me and Jesus worked on a tool I'm fabricating for forging steel. We listened to George Jones gospel again. It's going to be OK I think.

 

[HopeSings]

I want to make a track saw guide for my circular saw. I want it to attach to a small table like this festool table but I want to make my own track and table from wood. Nothing fancy just functional.

I've made wood track cutting guides before. They're easy. But I've never attached one to a table before. I want to make bird houses and things like that. Simple things.

 

[HopeSings]

I think I'll forge some simple carving tools maybe. I want to try carving spoons. It's cool that I can make the tool and then use it to carve a spoon. Forging blades is not the easiest thing to do but im forging very small cutters so i think i can manage. I want to make wood spoons and bird houses. And forge decorative steel hooks, candle holders and things. It's therapeutic for my heart, mind and soul.

 

[HopeSings]

I could forge a decorative sword and make a shield to hang on the wall. I'm not sure that I'm worthy though. The sword and shield can be Jesus. He is anyway. He is worthy.

 

[HopeSings]

There is no need for an expensive track saw, miter saw, or table saw. Sure they have advantages but they're not necesary for myself. Just a circular saw and some simple jigs.

 

[HopeSings]

How I love simplicity. I'm constantly telling myself to be content with simple tools and projects.

 

[HopeSings]

How we love simplicity
My heart is content and does not envy

Simply living is the way
My heart, here you will stay

Delightful joy, O my heart sing
Praise the Lord, my generous king

Sing of God's love this day
Sing with gladness and always pray
