good to see this is a thing in Blender, in Modo you just select the 3 verts and press p to create a face there, I use that to fill holes all the time

Update: the neck exploded while I was trying to hollow it out. It decided it didn't want to be a weird little vase, what it actually wants to be is a weird little jar.

do you have anything that will encourage fox spirits to come to my shop and help me build stuff out of wood - if they can do some light blacksmith work that would be good too but I would have to get a forge so I dunno if that's in the cards

Putting one of those DIY minisplits in my shop was the best decision I ever made. Wearing long johns and freezing my little toes off to do a bit of lathe in 13 degrees isn’t a good time. Hopefully you have a space heater pointed directly at you at least!

Progress on the Japanese-style laminated knives. 5 different species of wood used here - ironwood, manzanita, walnut, ribbonwood, and boxelder (maple). Putting a wooden knife into a sharpening jig has to be one of the goofiest things I've ever done

Update on this guy with the first coat of oil on. I decided to do a single bevel aka chisel edge on this one. I’m not happy with the edge yet - it’s chipping out a bit when I sharpen it, so I may need to adjust the angle. The next one will have a double bevel.

Yeah I cut straight slots, my assortment of chisels is always changing so I wanted to make it generic - the spacing is even and all the slots are the same size. I put leather strips on the bottom row to keep them from wiggling around, I need to do the same for the top.

Good stuff! I went with a similar design, but added a taper since most of my chisels have a tapered ferule.

Handles will be all wood too, though I'll mimic that style and use walnut where the metal is

Same! I'm hoping I can hone it to a point where I can make a clean slice in a piece of paper. I found some guys making these on Youtube that were able to cut cucumbers and things like that so I think a somewhat functional edge should be possible.

Here are a couple in more of a western style, with a solid ironwood blade and ribbonwood for the handles

I've laminated some thin pieces of ironwood and manzanita to create my own plywood, mimicking how hard and soft steel is used to forge Japanese knives. When I shape the bevel you'll be able to see the inner layer better.

Awesome! I hadn't seen him for a few months so I was getting worried, but now he's back almost every night. He must have been on vacation (or maybe it's a new fox).

He's a good lad. I've gotten the best photos when he's having a midday nap - he's half awake, docile, and just kind of goofs around for a bit.
