The Mote in God’s Eye by Larry Niven is exactly what you want

Holy clamp

Lizzie is adorable. She needs one of those window suction cup beds

So scrunched up!

I really like your pan! Where’d you get it and what kind is it?

Such a striking bird for such a common sounding name

You guys should join forces

He’s looking very happy! You take good care of your cat!

After researching the medallion on the handle I found out it’s a 1940s Disston D8 26" 10TPI crosscut saw

I tried to follow the process from this video https://youtu.be/cN8yMAXp54s for the most part. Haven’t done any sharpening on it yet. Still need the tools.

This is rex kreuger’s 2x4 stool, but I’m pretty sure it’s based off a Christopher schwarz design

I drilled a few practice holes with a forstner bit and a bevel gauge and honestly even the first holes I drilled were pretty dead on and I’m no whiz with the drill. Worst cast scenario you’re out $5 for the 2x4

Worked awesome out of the box, then even better after sharpening it. I made a pretty amateur mistake of leaving it on a piece of wood I had just planed. I oiled it before I left for the night, but when I came back in the morning I had the teeny tiniest spots of rust.

The legs I mentioned in the post are for his 2x4 stool. It’s been a fun project. Wish I had a drill press for the holes. The angles are tricky to get free hand
