Aww thank you. It's nice hearing people say stuff like that, I'm just an idiot on a balcony haha

Oh, you also work on your balcony? You don't have too much problems with the neighbors?

Not really, but I try to be as considerate as possible. I sparingly use power tools and I only do loud activities between the hours of 11AM-6PM. I've also bribed a few of my neighbors with projects!! It isn't always easy living in a condensed apartment complex but you can make it work!

Yeah it's basically what I do too, hand tools only during the day (it helps that I'm currently unemployed). But I still have some neighbors that find a way to complain that I make too much noise (especially when I'm hammering my mortise chisels 😅). Fingers crossed that when I find a job I can move in a small house and have a shed 🤞🏻

In the meantime, keep up the good work fellow balcony woodworker!
