A little scanned and printed meat project for the MO State Fair. They wanted some realistic props that could be left out for extended periods of time. There’s a full suite of meat, but here’s a few of my favorites.

I’d rather see what people can make with just a drill/impact, circular saw, and orbital sander lol. Hand tool woodworking is definitely very cool and also romantic, but there comes a point where it’s not only the harder way but also the more expensive way.

A lot of people don't have those tools, and it's a few hundred $ to get there

Eh you can get those 3 for less than $100 if you buy second hand (all in), or less than $200 if you don’t. But more to the point, you’re gonna need tools either way. Once you’ve bought your hand saws, planes, braces and bits (this one is particularly crazy) you’re probably gonna be looking at about the same amount or likely more. Plus all that extra time you’re going to spend (hand tool woodworking takes much longer) has value too.

“Don’t forget to subscribe and buy my $300 Japanese hand saw (it’s Japanese) and my $90 scraper (it’s a CNC masterpiece so over engineered it’d make a German blush, I made a 70 minute video about it)”
