are you in the SF bay area? Because yeah! This was like year 15 or so for us. Our friend shows up at like 6:30 to stake out a place early in the line (doors open at 10), we show up at around 8:30 or so, bring chairs and kinda chat with people and sip coffee in the cold, then at 10am you scamper to the best stuff and grab it before anyone else does. Shop till maybe 12 or 1, go home, watch the AFC and NFC championship games, crash. It's a tradition. Always the last sunday of january.

OK cool sure! but like you can also just go, like, now, today: https://www.whiteelephantsale.org/2024whiteelephantsaletickets the preview sale is over, but the regular access runs through feb 24 is five bucks and then free on march 2-3. they also have shitloads of furniture, by the way, very inconsistently priced, you can find very neat antiques absurdly cheap but also seriously damaged falling apart stuff that is overpriced. As a woodworker it's neat to just look at the cool old stuff and peek at how it was made. Leperflesh fucked around with this message at 20:01 on Feb 6, 2024 |

just do everything with a chisel like this guy that seems like he's probably a weirdo christian fundamentalist. altho i think the title is a lie, he also uses clamps and a mallet https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vbneBMOQE98

 this was from r/woodworking someone asked why the growth took off people said you can see the scar from a forest fire (probably) and then lack of completion for sunlight mean accelerated growth just thought it was cool and would share 🥹

you see this in redwood sometimes. Redwoods kinda grow like bamboo where u get a lil knot of sprouts and theyre all the same tree. So sometimes you get a thing where they branch off and re-merge.

my mum collects a lot of junk but this is actually something worthwhile because it couldn’t be made today, a lot of these timbers are now illegal to cut down or worse

hello femmes and fellas I got a present from the old home depot today I bought some wood and one board was missing it's label so I had to tell the cashier what it was. I checked my receipt when I got home and in her confusion she forgot to scan a box of finishing nails. bank error in my favor

if you're reading this home depot I did the right thing and spent a extra hour of my time to go back and pay for a $4 box of nails

the antique shops around here just have garbage. planes are either wood or transitional in awful condition, saw are mostly made of rust, and that's about all i've ever seen for woodworking tools. in other news i finally put a vise on my built-in workbench.

imo the vise jaws should be thicker. You're gonna get flex on those.
