Hand tool woodworking

[jas3]

I'm just getting into hand tool woodworking and so far I'm finding it a great way to relieve stress and work with my hands after a long day of sitting at a desk job. I've been surprised at how effective hand tools are, and even getting top-of-the-line tools you pay way less than you would with a power tool setup. Hopefully soon I'll have something worth showing here; so far I've just sharpened some tools and glued up a few pieces of 2x4 before planing them down to make an under-table mount for my bench vise. Planned projects are a coffee table, bookshelf, and spice rack.

Does anyone else here do woodworking with hand tools? Any tips?
