Weekend experiments in woodworking

2026-06-06

There is a quiet pleasure in woodworking. I underestimated how much light matters. Cheap materials are fine for practice. Most of the work is preparation; the visible part is quick. The notes below are mostly for my future self. Reading the manual first would have saved me an afternoon. Thanks for reading.

For a long time I avoided mechanical keyboards. Good tools help, but patience helps more. The weather decided most of the schedule. The notes below are mostly for my future self. It is slower than buying the finished thing, and that is the point. Nothing here is new, but it took me a while to see it. Next time I want to try a different approach.

After a few years of bookbinding. I borrowed most of the equipment at first. The notes below are mostly for my future self. Keeping a simple log helped more than I expected. That is all for now.
