    My box is ready for finishing,

    But the temperature in the garage is not conducive to spraying lacquer. I tried 2 coats in the basement shop this morning with the windows open and the fan directing the fumes outside, but had to shut that operation down, or face the wrath of Lucy!

    So all of the above serves as a warning to my swap buddy (I know who you are) unless we get a warm early spring, your box may/will be a little later than the end of March. There could be something extra included to make the wait worth your while!

    It feels even greater to give one to a friend!

    If it is me Mack, as long as you provide goodies in the box, I'll give you all the time you want!!!!!
    God and family, the rest is icing on the cake.

    I'm so far behind, I think I'm in first place.

    Figgers that one of the few things I'll get done with ahead of schedule can't be sent till March EOM. That's OK, I gotta look around for a 2011 penny to date stamp it with anyway ;-)

    Nope, didn't have me Mack, didn't do the box swap last year. Got a mallet on a swap I was in.

    Geez - I need to keep on top of these things. My box is pretty far along and now I have to sit on it for a MONTH!

    That's like 3 + weeks of procrastinating I could have done . . .

    Of course I could build another. . . . I need to dig thru the wood stash and see what other wood I've got to inspire me . . . .

    Cheers

    Jim
