An oak bench with drawbored mortise joints
No glue, no screws: just pegs offset by a millimetre so the joint pulls itself tight. Notes on layout, the jig I made for the mortises and what I would change next time.
Workshop notes
Things I built, fixed or broke on weekends. Mostly wood, sometimes solder.
Rebuilding a cheap bench power supply
The fan was louder than the radio. Swapped it for a temperature controlled one, recapped the output stage and added a proper current limit display.
Sharpening: what finally worked for me
After years of trying every gadget, a coarse diamond plate, one fine stone and a strop turned out to be all I need. Angles, burrs and a few mistakes.
