Such gifts!

Been a very busy couple days...  I've been painting the shop (almost done!) as well as continuing on the Stopgap bench.  Dog holes are about complete, and I've created about ten dogs from oak dowels.

In most exciting news, a supportive benefactor sent me an amazing package, containing a Bad Axe carcase saw, a Knew Concepts fretsaw, and a Ray Iles mortise chisel.  I am astonished at the generosity and promise to put these to most excellent use!

You can see them below, atop bench hooks I made of oak.
