I completed the joinery foundation in twelve weeks and a day. And I loved every minute of it. No power tools were allowed with the exception of a bench grinder for sharpening and a pillar drill. Pictured here, my oilstone box, made from a single piece of american walnut, with beech stone wedges. The rebates were ploughed out with the use of a hand router. Also pictured, early dovetail practise and basic scarf joint exercises. These jobs were undertaken in the first three weeks.
