Hello my name is Earl and I like to knurl. I'm also into burl.

fox and raccoon palling around #wildlife

I'm attempting to make some knives entirely out of wood. I'm using super hard, tight-grained wood as an experiment to see how sharp of an edge I can get. Of course, it won't stay sharp like metal but it should be a fun experiment. The first set will be Japanese style with separate handles.

Yeah, if you have a copy of TB4, the upgrade discount stacks with the current black friday sale!

If you are a #3D #GameArtist and are trying to De-Adobe your life or looking for that sweet Painter replacement, you can try out Toolbag 5! I wrote a Blog style tutorial on how to start getting into texturing in Toolbag4 (works for 5 too!). It even comes with a free rock to follow along with!

Making a lil vase guy from some boxelder root burl. Next we’ll see if I can hollow it out without it exploding. #woodworking #turning #lathe

sleepy fox

he zoomin around tonight

Oh hi, is this where we post our fox photos?

He likes his stump

In addition to nerding out about Japanese tools sometimes I make stuff. Here's a coffee table set with adjustable height side tables that tuck in for storage. Made for @noodleverse.bsky.social

Does here anyone like tool restoration? Here are some Japanese chisels forged by 助丸 - Sukemaru the 3rd, Yoshiro Kinzaburo. These are damekiri style, popular in Hokkaido. At ~280mm they’re a little smaller than tataki atsu or framing/firmer chisels and bigger than oire nomis (standard bench chisels).

I found this lichen

The stray cat will plop down and eat the cat food for a solid half hour. The fox? The fox has ADHD and will snack for at most two minutes.
