I haven't been in the shop at all this year, work and life getting in the way.
So I am trying to find a couple of little projects to do to relax. I have a couple of socket chisels I was sent some time back and was wondering if anyone used an old broom handle for chisel handles (no lathe and it is handy)?
Also, been looking at knife blocks and seen what has been posted here. I am wondering if any of you built them, then changed knives and they didn't work? I am building up a set of knives, some based on on America's test kitchen and some based on access (restaurant supply houses) and know sometimes preferences change.
Thinking about several blocks I have seen and doing a version where the knives fit into bamboo skewers, so you can change as needed.
thanks (and off to do work errands ).
