I have not posted much since my return from Germany, but I have been busy. \u00a0Mostly, I’ve been working in my workshop, or more accurately, working on<\/span> my workshop. I have been building a new work bench, since the one in the old shop was built in. \u00a0Unfortunately, I seem to have forgotten most of what meager woodworking skill I ever had, and I have made many mistakes. \u00a0Since it’s just a work bench, it doesn’t have to be pretty. On the other hand, many of my mistakes have caused do-overs, which has really slowed things down.\u00a0Another diversion that slowed things down was that I was able to get a good deal on some used power tools, including a much better miter saw and a drill press (for those of you who know what those things are.) I saved a lot of money, but still had to spend quite a bit to get everything. \u00a0I sure appreciate Janie’s support of this hobby and her encouragement whenever I came home after another series of mistakes.<\/p>\n

A couple of days ago, I approached the end of Phase I, but didn’t quite make it before I ran out of time and energy. \u00a0Today I reached that\u00a0milestone. I was able to “dry fit” the base together so that I could see what it would look like.<\/p>\n

Next, I had to take the whole thing apart to put a coat of finish on the parts.<\/p>\n

\"IMG_6095<\/a>I’m heading on a little trip with Janie and our granddaughters, but when I get back, I can reassemble the bench and move on to Phase II, installing the top, a lower shelf, a woodworker’s vise and wheels.<\/p>\n
