Finishing touches
With warm Spring breezes and longer days comes more opportunities to find myself out in the shop making cool things or thinking up cool things to make.
This year's projects include illustrating and finishing last fall's five-board benches and making an additional nine more for a total of twenty. The idea is to have a sale out of my driveway this summer. I think that will be a fun experiment. and who knows? I might even sell some benches.
Bookends, with historic themes, are also on the agenda this season. More will be revealed as things progress.
This week I installed what I'm pretty sure will be my last machine, a little 1" x 36" Grizzly belt sander, perfect for detail work and smaller stuff.
I mounted it on a very sturdy wooden wall bracket, leveled it, hooked it up to the dust-collection system and turned it on. Runs great, works perfect, makes no dust. Boom!
Machinery row is now complete and the only thing that's missing from this picture...
is me!
Loving Spring, in the Cumberland Valley,
Mannie
