I gave myself some homework from my SEPPer weekend trip to the lab.
I need somewhere to hang some tools… though now I have to find the wall space to hang the hooks.

I took a chunk of green red pine my neighbor cut and trimings from pear trees from 2 years ago and created the 4 coat hooks.

 - Final product

Clarifications:
 - "Hand tools" means non-powered tools.  No battery/electrically powered drills



This was a multi-day project. Since I wasn't able to complete it in one day, I had to cut a new piece of of wood. That's why there are two photos for "starting chunks". The second chunk was shorter and skinnier and peeled way easier than the first chunk.

I used a drawknife, shaving horse, an auger, loppers, and a pocket knife.

- 4 hooks
- Flat back side

- Your chunks of wood that you are starting with
- Progress about half way through, with the hand tools you have decided to use for this

Last night I went to use Willow Bank and had no place to hang my coat! That needed to be fixed.

I scrounged some green wood, and had to scrounge smaller peg wood. Hand tools used, mallet, kindling cracker, hatchet, saw, file, rasp, hand drill.
