Practicing woodwork is a slow but therapeutic task. Simon informs me that after working on concepts and software engineering all day it’s a joy to actually hold a product in your hand. Working with beautiful oak materials planing, sanding and waxing to your desired finish is a lovely thing to do.

1. Make a template, measure twice!
2. Mark out and score
