    Ethan's Workshop - A Disaster in the Making

    Some of you asked for photos, so here you go. (Please remember, if you feel tortured by the following, the fault is entirely yours :eusa_naug) This is the current state of my workshop in progress. It's enough of a mess at the moment that, frankly, I debated whether to actually post them! I'm...

    Making a Through Mortise
