Good Morning,
I don't know about many of you but we've just experienced the coolest temps and the most rain in the month of July that I can ever remember!! I loved the month of July...60's in the mornings and ranged from 70's to upper 80's during the day with only a few days getting into the low 90's. Wonderful days!!!!
Progress is being made on the cup cake stands/wedding gift. I got my veneer in and the lady decided that she wanted some birds-eye maple veneer on the round platter part of the stands. Luckily, I had some given to me several years ago and now I'm flattening a few pieces to use. I have this week and next week to get this done as well as keep up with the day job and try to get a busted lawn mower fixed so my yard doesn't turn into a total hay field.
I did find out that my vacuum press is perfect for make wavy veneer nice and flat and today I get to put in the last 2 pieces of veneer to make it flat while I finish up the last several details on the 2 stands.
I'd like to thank Mark Cothren and Joe Meazle for coming to my rescue on wood that I needed to get this under control and for providing me some wood when I made a wrong calculation and mis-cut the wood I had on hand. Thanks guys!!!
Well, that's it for me....so what did YOU do this past weekend??
Best of weeks to you all.
