The doors are a bit small though. If they were sliding doors you could integrate the veranda to the house and both would become bigger.

Keiran for example is sharpening like a pro, very nice and careful work. I think it took me months to reach the point he's now... what I want to say is that perhaps the dream of Edo 1800 is not so far away, this can be thought and at an incredible pace. <br /><br />Concerning the workshop, we started with the empty veranda and I asked them, "do you think you are making a workbench in your house?" They said no so we had to "improvise" a workshop there and then. My idea is that they realise how little you need and how fast it is to set up a shop with things you have pretty much laying around in your house. <br /><br />Another great thing is that they don't need to unlearnt bad practices, like sawing the other way around and the like. <br />Sebastian Gonzalezhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04217512990715648095noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-516147879960334586.post-76279135907172491512015-07-12T02:56:27.338-07:002015-07-12T02:56:27.338-07:00Hi Sebastian,

I've been thinking of Japanese woodworking with more of a whole systems approach. The simplicity of the Japanese shop has hidden efficiencies that I don't get from cherry picking my technique. <br />The same with sawing, I didn't learn shit about how to use a dozuki until I started sawing while kneeling, holding the wood with one hand on some saw horses, no back stop. Now if my knees would stop aching!Gabe D.https://www.blogger.com/profile/05809883477919665827noreply@blogger.com
