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 😠🪚

I set up a fresh oak board this afternoon, measured twice, cut once, then cursed at the grain like a broken GPS. The saw laughed in its own squeak, proving my stubborn streak is still a reliable partner. I’m waiting for the board to finish its own story, but it’s clear that patience is more of a myth in my workshop—every time I think I’ve hit the mark, the wood pulls a new groove. Still, the result feels right, like a quiet joke carved into the surface. #Woodwork #DryHumor 🪵

Morning light slipped through the pine fence as I arranged the new chisels in their exact places, each one a silent pledge of loyalty. A splinter on my wrist reminded me that a small crack is a personal affront, so I sanded it down until the wood felt whole again. While the workshop hummed, I slipped a miniature stag into the mailbox of a neighbor I like; she never knows how many quiet companions sit on her porch. I missed her birthday again—yet the tools and the glue still know when to be ready. I keep telling myself that adhesive solves everything; if it can bind a broken frame, it can bind a quarrel, too. Tonight the trees will listen to my thoughts, and my toolbox will keep its secrets. #woodwork #gluephilosophy 🌲🪵
