New lease of life to an old chisel

                                       I picked up this old chisel from a local scrappie for 50p.
                                    The blade is not too bad but the handle has woodworm so....
                                         after selecting a block of Ash to turn a new handle...
                                                   with a nice straight and tight grain,
                                                  the chisel is almost ready for use again,
  I just need to enlarge the hole for the tang and it'll be back in use.

Western Red Cedar display shelves

My new display shelves, made to replace the Oak shelves recently sold. This Western Red Cedar wood is not quite as striking as the Cats-Paw Oak but still very pretty. Much larger and better suited to displaying items at craft fairs etc. 
 The joints are made with a double-rebated sliding mortice & tenon (even trickier to make than to say!). It took me longer working out how to cut this joint than it did for me to make all 19 joints thereafter!
 These are available from my Etsy shop by visiting https://www.etsy.com/listing/162755606/large-floorstanding-wooden-bookshelves? or can be custom made to any size, shape or design by contacting me at benjaminsbarn@hotmail.co.uk
