Nice crafting skill with limited tools.

hahaha, I had did some souvenir that my colleague ask me to redo it because the initial design looked like tombstone.

wood is soooo expensive nowadays...
My favorite source of wood for small projects still has to be pallets from office.

The wood from pallet are rough and usually not straight and flat like those wood we buy from shop.
It will take some effort to square 4 side and smooth-en the surface for furniture work.

Using traditional hand planer is a good exercise, but I use electric hand planer more.
No5 jack plane can be more expensive than electric hand plane.

My current electric plane costs RM190 only.
