45 degrees in the shop today


Below is what is left of my original wine rack design, after it met an unfortunate end by my own hand.



Alas, I like the new design better.




And my Letter J turned out nice, the J enjoys hanging out with the reclining nude.

35 degrees in the shop today

Attempt of the day was to make a wall mounted wine rack out of only one piece of wood 8 1/4 inches wide by 2 ft long.  Process shots.


Marks before I cut the whole slab in half


Leftover circles will become mounted holders for small end of bottle



Shop Tip 101:  What do you do when you don't own a protective holder for your ipod and it will most likely break when you shove it in the ass pocket of you pants to build wood products in your shop?


Answer :  Find the beer cozy you got in New Orleans shove the sucker in there put it in your pocket and it's now protected better than the New York Times newspaper passwords.

45 degrees in the shop today
Can't tell from the photo but it's lightly snowing

Made some coasters and two coat racks . . . and saw George Lucas's doppelganger walking down the street, taking photos of houses with his ipad.  Maybe he was a scout doing field research for the actual George Lucas.  Because George Lucas only employs people that look exactly like him.  Just a thought.

50 degrees in the shop today

Put the finishing touches on my reclaimed wood and mirror bench




Midway through finishing this up a government worker with those blue license plates pulled up outside my shop, thought they were coming for me.  Alas, seems they were looking for one of my neighbors but turned up empty handed and drove off.

Goal for tomorrow - Think smaller, maybe making some coasters or signs.  A wine rack if I'm feeling crazy.
