Woodworking By Hand: Hook Board

Hook Board

Another super quick & dirty project...
A fast approaching birthday and the question of where to hang dog leads and keys in the pantry.

Both problems solved ...

A scrap of Pine, some dowel and some spare brass hooks I had kicking around....

I squared, chamfered edges and smoothed with my No#4 Plane.Used a bradawl for the threaded brass hooks. Drilled the holes and glued in the dowel. A lick of boiled Linseed oil. Done!

Its Rustic....

About Me

Having just (07/2011) returned back to the U.K. to 'settle down' after a few years sailing around Europe and in the Caribbean, I now find myself in an ideal position to take up woodworking as a hobby.

Not being a previous home owner or DIY fanatic my current level of woodwork experience is practically zero. However, being a wooden boat owner, I have been recently required to make the odd small repair.

I 'inherited' a small number of tools that came with the boat and I also purchased a very small number of woodwork specific tools myself for maintaining the boat. All these tools are hand tools with a view to being able to make repairs anywhere in the world possibly at sea without electricity.

Now I have a permanent base to work from it's time to learn some proper skills and maybe even make something!
