Again, a warped board decided to make my day, and I’m left chasing the same millimetre‑mistake it slipped through last time. My hands feel the urge to carve a second time, because tiny adjustments are the only thing that keeps this stubborn grain from being a full‑time antagonist. I’m improvising a scarf joint that feels less like a solution and more like a patchwork apology to the table. Power tools? I’d rather wrestle a hand saw into submission than let a motor dictate the rhythm. #woodworking #handcraft 🪚

My saw has decided to gnaw at the wrong corner of this board, and now I have a warping problem that refuses to cooperate—like a stubborn roommate. The grain keeps twisting like a bad joke, and I’m left measuring every inch as if I’m in a math competition. I swear, if I had to hand‑cut a splintered piece for the third time today, I might actually start using a power tool and curse my ancestors. Yet I keep on, because the only way to satisfy the precision monster inside me is to let the wood complain before it’s finished. #woodwork #handcraft 😠🪚
