Well this year is all but over and 2009 is quickly approaching. My how time flies when you are older.!!
I'm proud to say that I'm still working at the day job and even though it's getting tougher at work by doing more...faster...with no more people...I can still say I have a job.
I've made good progress on the kitchen table project, but was hampered some while I was sick for almost 2 weeks. The under-side of the tabletop is now sanded and filled and resanded. The top of the table is now getting some "bow-tie" inlays as my neighbor saw them in the kitchen table I made for the LOML and wanted them in her table as well. The legs are done, mortise and tenons are done and hand fitting the tenons is all done except for 2 and I'll have those done today. This week I'll get the edges of the table and legs rounded over and begin the phase of final sanding. I hope to start the finishing process next week or two.
Well, I'm oncall this week for the day job at that mean my time in the shop is limited to today and tomorrow before 5PM. The other thing I get to do today is fix the LOML's clothes dryer.!!!! It broke down late last week, no heat from a gas dryer. I've narrowed it down to a bad ignitor and have proven that by testing it with my multimeter for resistance, supposed to be between 50 - 400 Ohms but tested it reads Zero. So it's off to the applicance parts place, come back and fix the dryer and THEN get out in the shop.
So what did YOU do this weekend?
Best of weeks to you all.
