Making tools will be a cinch for you. just pick up pieces of hard steel, weld them on a piece of
pipe to have a handle, grind them at a correct angle without overheating the steel. Old files can make good tools, 3 tools with one file !
Tools with a curved part can't be made at home, but you will just need one, to make coarse work on your piece of wood when you start.
Thanks for giving me the opportunity of being 40 years younger...

It wouldn't go in and out so it is something else now.
Here is the a chunk of mesquite fire wood turned in to I have no idea what.
Maybe a wooden mallet or a meat tenderizer.
It was done with a skewing tool I made.
The skewing tool is from what I have heard the most feared but versatile of the tools so I chose to get used to it.
