For a new project, I needed a custom sized dowel.

For a new project, I needed a custom sized dowel. I don't have a wood lathe, so I made a reverse(parallel?) holesaw.
When I was in middle school, I had a toy lathe to make fishing tackle, but of course it smoked and broke. (I did catch one bass with a lure I made🐟)
I was worried about it, but I was able to make it pretty good.🙂
The other day, the lure I made then came out of the closet, so I'll post it someday.

Steel toe cap drawer pulls.

This is the 12th idea in the 14 drawer idea video I've been shooting since last year.
I've had a lot going on and haven't been able to work on it, but I'm making some progress. Only two more to go!👣

My grandfather passed away last week. He was a won

My grandfather passed away last week. He was a wonderful welder. And he taught it to me carefully. He worked with a hunk of steel on his back until just before he retired. The last job he made was a tool cart to himself. I still have many of the tools he made.
One day at lunch time, he realized he had no chopsticks, so he took two shortened welding sticks and used them as chopsticks to eat his lunch. And he said “Yum!”
I inherited that cool mind of his!
Due to the coronavirus, we sent him off with just my family. He loved motorcycle racing, so we sent him off with a fanfare. I was very sad but happy to have worked with him.
(I don't have many pictures left, but here is one of him looking happily at his new HiKOKI-grinder. His workspace is so messy...)
We, as makers, should take good care of the tools they have made or left us, and use them for the next generation.
I was a little depressed, but I'm going to try again.😌

Liquid abrasives gave me the shine I was looking for!
