So much work and time, but it's coming along great. Looking forward to Part 2.

Thanks! 😊

Really nice job on all the joinery. I love how you recycle and reuse and give new life to what others would probably see as firewood. Can't wait to see the table completed!

Thanks, it's a fun challenge!

This was incredible to watch, Red. My Dad gave me his hand planer before he died. He had it before he and my mother married in 1939. I have it displayed with treasured pieces of ceramic and China.
And Rick and I bought an antique farmhouse kitchen table back in 1989.
It dates back to the 1880's. The 4 planks have spaces in between. I'd love to have your knowledge.
Can't wait to see the finished product 👍

Thanks for sharing! Yes, old woodworking tools and furniture are definitely a treasure. 😊

Very cool, I love all the hand tool work! It is awesome that an old hand plane is still the best tool for the job sometimes!

[@RedandAprilOff-Grid]

Thanks! Yes old hand tools are always fun to use! 😊
