Good Morning....
17 Sep 2007
It's been very nice weather here lately and has given me a powerful handerin' for a few day off from the daily grind. But you know, I really don't mind the day job...I'm still employeed and the layoffs have officially ended. So I guess we can say that the stress level has been reduced, but I lost some good coworkers due to the layoffs. Still doesn't make it any easier.
Made some progress on the kitchen table project last week and I will be making progress on it this week as well. Found out the customer recently purchased unfinished chairs to go around her new table and wants me to finish them the same as her table. I guess I can stand to charge her a little more money for finishing her chairs for her. ;)
The family and I did a different type of woodworking last week as well. We split and stacked firewood for the winter. :D
Now, we don't cut down living/standing trees for our firewood. What we do is search out someone that has trees down or a building site with trees down and cut firewood from there. Every once in a while it yeilds some very nice turning stock for bowls and such. Any way, we should be good for the winter as we have about 2 very full chords of wood stacked, but since we will need more wood next year, I like cutting firewood in the winter months here since it's nice weather, chilly to cold temps and I use those times to take the family out wood cutting with me, packing a picnic lunch, and use that time to show my kids how a family can work together to get a lot done very quickly all the while having a good time and sharing family time in the middle of nowhere. :)
Besides the kitchen table project, I'm also working on making to small custom designed wine storage cabinets, if you will, for a local customer. I'm prefinishing everything before assembly and what a chore that is.!!!!
Saturday was working at the day job and Sunday was bass playing at church and if anyone has any good DVD's for Jazz Bass info since I'm teaching myself about Jazz/Fusion bass genre of music as I love good Jazz....I'd love to hear it from you on what I should buy in order to have some reference material to read / watch for learning to be a good Jazz bass player.
So what did YOU do this weekened????
Best of weeks to you all..!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
