I've started to blog in Esperanto about some of the projects I do in woodworking. The posts are mostly about projects I've already done, but from time to time I'll be putting up a video showing how I made it. Occasionally I'll post info about the tools used in the hobby as well.

You can find the blog here on Wordpress.

Cool. Why don't you make some youtube videos. Youtube is a great platform for blogging

More YouTube videos are in the plan. I've made 2 already and have a bunch of others filmed. The editing and voice over are what take so long for me. (Plus translating a bunch of new technical terms in ways a non-woodworker might understand.) I'm making the videos in two versions, Esperanto and English. Sometimes I just don't have enough time in the day.

Delightful! I am working on a cherry wood end table and am wondering about the best tool to use to sand its top. Do you enourage readers to ask questions like that, too?

Sure ask away, but I'll admit I'm no expert on woodworking, just an amateur. Finishing is also one of my weak points.

The tool you would use depends on what tools you have and the current condition of the top of the end table. For me, I'd use my orbital sander or do it by hand. It also depends on the finish you'll use.

Interesting! My oldest brother is a woodworker; he makes and sells wooden signs of various sorts, and also makes things just for fun; mostly tech-related stuff like wooden graphing calculators and Minecraft figures (his other hobby/business is repairing computers).

Here is a video of his working wooden-cased TI-82 graphing calc, recently featured on makezine.com ridulo.gif!

That graphing calculatir is just cool! I once saw another woodworker in the U.K. make a wooden case for his phone.

A wooden case for Kindle would look more cool!

I quite agree!

I just told my brother that, and he said, "They're wrong. A Kindle doesn't have any buttons." ridego.gif
