My first toolbox is awesome, but it was missing on

My first toolbox is awesome, but it was missing one important feature: mobility. It's too heavy to take off site ☹️ Time for a new strategy.

This new box is the first of a set, much lighter, smaller, and it will be just as cool when it's finished!

The original toolbox is built to last, and it will need to find new home. DM me if you're interested.

Why hand tools only?
I didn't grow up using hand tools! Weird, right?
I attempted to answer why I only use hand tools in detail, and it turned into a four part series.

Part 1 - Why hand tools rule, from my/an users point of view.

Check it out with the link in my bio!

How do you compare hand tools vs power tools? (Tell me I'm crazy!)

Moi is a fast learner! She is cleaning the wood shavings off the bench for me, while I take a break from working on this table top.

She's also a great fly catcher!

This is nature 🙂

We are humans, but we're also a part of nature. What we don't always realize is our simply being alive means we have to take from and depend on nature, and on others.

My philosophy is to take as little as possible, to minimize my negative impact on others around me. I do this by creating less waste and sticking to natural materials.

When we buy something new, it's immediately destined to become waste some day. This could be in 1 year or 100 years. Buying something made to last could mean throwing 99 less things in the trash. And, buying something made of 100% natural materials means it can return to nature immediately, instead of filling up a landfill or floating in the ocean.

Be happy, buy responsibly.
