It is hard for me to express in words the sadness I have for our little tree that was just trying to live its little tree life until a couple of partying raccoons came along.
The is (was) a yoshino cherry tree. 😭😭😭

A new family member joined us this week! Say hello to Lucy! 🥹
Our entire routine is thrown off right now as we figure out each other, work on the household integration, training, and everything else that comes with another adorable personality in mix.

I’m starting a new #woodworking project this weekend and I’m actually following instructions to build a thing! 😱
My partner bought me the Veritas folding adirondack chair plans for my birthday last summer and spring is coming! I better get to work. 🌺🌻🌞

We’re not board game people but we got Wingspan because we’re bird people and it’s been really fun! Fast paced and lots of really gorgeous bird cards to explore.

I'm doing a small restoration project on a footstool that's been in my family for a few generations. It had so many nails from attempted repairs but also a lot from the top upholstery that I'm re-doing.
How terrible will it look if I tried to fill in all of these holes with something like Bondo or any kind of wood filler?
I don't want to paint it or stain it. I'm hoping to sand and re-finish (maybe Danish Oil).

If you have a #WordPress site, install the ActivtyPub plugin!
I just gave it a try and I was able to connect my site to a Federated platform like Mastodon so easily. Now every time there is a new post, it will automatically feed into Mastodon.
And if you're into #woodworking, you can get updates to my federated website just by following @npub1rpq…jegw

It finally happened. My first serious #woodworking injury. Bracing your hand in front of a large chisel was dumb and I knew better. It rammed in there pretty good.
Five stitches later and lesson learned. This might take me out of commission for a few weeks though.

Gosh this has been a tough few days. We said goodbye to the best boy ever. He lived a long and full life with us and we were so grateful for our time together but dammit the sadness is profound.
I'm going to need lots of #dogsofmastodon and #catsofmastodon photos today please. 💙

@npub1mp3…qjxj ugh! It’s such a pet peeve of mine when neighbors don’t just, you know like, talk? Or take a few minutes out of their days to walk over.
Good on you for doing that though.

There’s an outdoor cat literally harassing us and I wish to call the cat police except it’s adorable and I feel like that’s a pretty big cat loophole tbh

Very good points.
I am very much in the "sneaking up on a result" phase of woodworking which could very well be why I'm that much more exhausted by the end of a session.

"...the ones who say you cannot make a living working with your hands using hand tools and just a bandsaw, could see what can be done if you apply yourself to master hand tools."
This post is inspiring. I know there's a lot of hidden costs here not to mention the wear/tear on the body but the big takeaway is that it's important to know your worth. And you don't need to listen to the capitalist whispers of mass production. You do you.

My Mom is a crossing guard for an elementary school and today was the first day of school. She texted me this morning:
"A little boy came up to me crying. He was so scared to start school. I wouldn't have let him go by himself. I told him all kinds of encouragement and he did walk towards the school with a smile. I finally yelled 'YOU GOT THIS!' He smiled and waved"
I just love her so much. 🥹

@npub1mp3…qjxj $500 for the month?! Good lord. We pay $120 for **unlimited** water and garbage.
But I guess that comes with a side of flooding. 🥲

Rains in #Chicago again and our flood control system can not get installed soon enough.

What is everyone's favorite chisel "thumper"? I want to change the mallet I use when chiseling.
I go between a large wooden mallet and a more traditional hammer but they both wear me out too fast with precise chiseling (too heavy, too large, too cumbersome, etc).

I’ve been learning how to make drawers and half-blind dovetails. My first try was... not good (and not shown!). 🫣 But practice makes perfect.
So now what does one do with a single practice drawer that doesn't have a cabinet to go into?

I'm between projects and have a stack of walnut offcuts laying around so I made one of those hip mid-century modern plant stands to keep me busy.
It ain't much, but it's honest work.

How can I possibly? Is this confidence or just delusion?

We are having our three entry doors replaced and we hired a guy that only installs doors. He's a professional door installer. He doesn't do windows. He doesn't do cabinets. He doesn't do flooring. Just doors.
He schedules just one door per day and shows up at 8am sharp every day. It takes him at least 6 hours per door. And they are perfect! Doors are his art.
It's so inspiring being around people that have passion for their work!
