You could find a better 35mm lens with less distortion. You’d pay more. It would probably show up the disposables to their detriment. And frankly the results you showed here are very good anyways. So no worries :) Carry on & best luck for the season !
Hi David. I fought the urge to buy a better one . Getting this low end version goes against my typical preference. But it may still show up the disposables and their plastic lenses. This felt like a good compromise for image cohesiveness (& I’m still excited to see what I can do with it)
I’m curious on how you would automate shave horse work. I’m in the middle of making a shave horse just because I haven’t found a comfortable power tool solution. Trying to square and size riven parts on the table saw is really sketchy and I guess my bandsaw is just too wimpy. I’m stuck with hand planes and that takes a big effort and makes tons of shavings. So I’m hoping the shave horse will help with the rough work and that the hand planes will suffice for finishing (ala Schwarz). Added benefit is some drawknife education.
I stay way from the table saw. My bandsaw sees the bulk of the work when it’s involved. But the drawknife is a favorite. It’s not as fast as the bandsaw but does better work
Hi Claus. I have a couple options at the present. There’s quartering the log, taking it to the jointer to flatten a face, then bandsaw out parts. Back and forth between the bandsaw and jointer, then add the planer to the mix to mill parts to size.
Or find a good log and have it milled to 2” slabs. This would remove initial splitting. If the grain is straight and there’s no twist, the wood could be milled with machinery and keep straight grain integrity.
There's always the carvers vise that Schwarz et al recommend. Much quicker than building a shavehorse, certainly not as quick to use, but I think much closer to a shavehorse experience than a bandsaw. Takes up less room than a shavehorse too.

Looking forward to the new book.
