A small project with a good example of the use of a range of handtools

I'm frankly surprised that people don't post more of Shannon's stuff. Everybody has this love affair with Underhill and Sellers and Schwarz, but Shannon is a hobbyist. I find him a lot more likely to know where I'm coming from. He's got a day job.

But he really knows his way around hand tools.

He's also got what is probably the best video around on using hand saws.

I was going to go and put together a second saw bench, but seeing his support, that'd be even quicker.

I want a tongue and groove plane in a bad way. I had to make do with shiplapped panels on my Dutch tool chest and every time I see one in action I salivate a bit.
