And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.
chunky cross cuts
ReplyDeleteThat's not cross cuts - that's feathers or tiger stripes.
ReplyDeleteTook a sharp plane to make those passes in hardwood
ReplyDeleteThose shavings are from that plane, you think? Quite the sharp, yes.
ReplyDeleteOak methinks, and looks like the crosscut burned it.
It looks more like ash to me ? A bugger to work on, specially with hand tools.
DeleteI was always taught to lay the plane on its side, to avoid it sitting on the cutting edge.
ReplyDeleteSometimes I go into the garage, grab some scrap, and just make shavings.
ReplyDeleteVery satisfying.
