Tinker Tuesday for December 2, 2025

This thread is for anyone working on personal projects to share their progress, and hold themselves somewhat accountable to a group of peers.

Post your project, your progress from last week, and what you hope to accomplish this week.

If you want to be pinged with a reminder asking about your project, let me know, and I'll harass you each week until you cancel the service

Try it on a scrap of anything with old paint and you'll see what I mean -- it's not like a normal paint scraper, there's a burr on the edge so you hold it almost 90 degrees to the work and pull towards you with both hands. It does make shavings, but very very thin ones -- less than a thousandth of an inch I'd say? Much thinner that what you see in those Japanese planing contests, and easy to control by how hard you bear down.
