Coming back to working with wood after quite some time. As I'm building now in a laundry closet with a foldable bench I've decided to use only hand tools (which I've discovered to be very enjoyable to work with.) Anyway's here's the first tool I've built completely with hand tools: a joiner's mallet in ash. It's not perfect but...it's a mallet so, I'm not too worried about it lol. I used japanese hand saws throughout the job and was amazed at their precision and tiny kerf (I'll include an image of that)..
