I woke up this morning and shuffled into the bathroom and turned on the shower. After taking a long, hot shower, I dried off and checked the clock to see how much time until I needed to leave…1:30 AM. What!? 1:30 AM. So…I shuffled back to bed. Luckily I fall asleep quickly. This is the 2nd or 3rd time I’ve done it in the past 4 years. Ugh.
Topic Change…after 2 years, I finally completed my first wood working project and it came out significantly better than I would have thought, though not perfect. I built a puzzle holder for Adelle. I started working on it in California and scrapped my work since I couldn’t make straight cuts. However, I’ve upgraded to a 2.5-hp router that cuts wood like a hot knife through butter…it’s a LOT of fun. I did learn a lot during the project. One tip I picked up from my brother-in-law is the use of wood filler…it makes the project look a lot better than it would have otherwise. However, none of the pictures are closeups for a reason…the box looks better from a distance…but then again, so does the Mona Lisa…so this is actually a work of art!
