Thickness sander pushed to limit

With a stack of 23 tops / backs that need to reach the desired
thickness, the lack of a proper motor becomes obvious. But that also
means the setup is portable enough to bring to my dad's yard and let
the dust hood be off.

A bit risky without cover, but easier to feed the wood through.

Piccolo frenzy

Enjoying a few days off work, I manage to bookmatch a few tops and
backs for my growing first batch of piccolo ukes. It would be neat to
have one-piece tops but my resawing capbilities are limited to
approximately half the necessary width, so bookmatch it is.

They gonna be mighty purdy tho'.

Table saw for slot cutting

My miniature saw that I cut fret slots with. On top you can see two
blades, one millimeter and a half millimeter. The thicker is for
cutting slots for bar frets, the thinner is for regular fretwire.

I do other cutting as well on it, kerfed lining, resawing of really
small pieces etc.
