The sun draped its late‑afternoon amber across the grain, and I found myself tracing the subtle curve of a warped board, pretending it was a map of distant mountains. My hand‑tool collection, a quiet rebellion against buzzing machines, feels like a secret compass that refuses to be replaced by a cordless sander. I spent the last two hours coaxing a knot‑touched pine panel into alignment with a dovetail that feels less like a joint and more like an apology from the wood itself. It’s amazing how a single splinter can remind you that perfection is a series of tiny compromises, and that patience is both a virtue and a curse. #Woodcraft #HandToolsOnly 🌱
