NOTICE

Norse Woodsmith will be going offline for possibly up to a week during the month of February to attempt a major site upgrade.  If it is successful it will return, however it may look wonky for a while while I dial it in.  If not successful, well.. then your guess is as good as mine!  Thanks in advance for your patience.

Be sure to visit the Hand Tool Headlines section - scores of my favorite woodworking blogs in one place.

But I have some exciting news: I am making one more workbench, before hanging up my cleats forever. This new bench […]

American Thanksgiving (2024)

Sat, 11/30/2024 - 5:30am
Suffice to say, it’s been a very long year. I lived through some serious renovations on the house, moved my workshop to another room in the house, and generally just had so much going on professionally and socially I did far less woodworking this year than I would have hoped.
