I received the vintage rabbet plane I purchased on eBay today. I just had to sharpen the iron. I spent the afternoon teaching myself how to use it.🪚🔨
Finished reading: Starter Villain by John Scalzi 📚. This is a fun read. John Scalzi writes the best dialog.
Finished reading: Just One Damned Thing After Another by Jodi Taylor 📚. I don’t normally like care for time travel stories, but this one is alright. I don’t think I will follow up with the rest of the series, however.
Finished listening to The Very Secret Society of Irregular Witches by Sangu Mandanna 📚🔊 This is one of the coziest books I’ve happened upon in a long time. I recommend it. Samara MacLaren’s narration was a treat.
