Reddit reviews Hand Tools: Their Ways and Workings

Wife and I processed one of our rabbit culls yesterday--first one in quite a while. We froze the hide for later, when we have enough to make tanning worthwhile, and tonight we'll be having oven "fried" rabbit.

We took advantage of what will probably be the last of the cool weather for this season by working outside. We fixed the wheelbarrow so she could haul the rabbit manure to the garden while I trimmed back some bushes that had gotten a little out of hand.

Oh! My first woodworking books arrived today. The Complete Manual of Woodworking by Albert Jackson, and Hand Tools: Their Ways and Workings by Aldren Watson. I don't have a lot of time to read right now, but I'm very excited about starting them.

There's a few books you can get to start things out. If you go through them and it doesn't diminish your passion but increases it, they'll set you on course to get started on your own. They also are worth reading if you've already begun.
