well, lets see, i've had a project c, a project w, why not a project f? as the 22nd rule of acquisition states, 'a wise man can hear profit in the wind'. well, this wind was whispering, project f. then i got the idea in my head, and it kept churning around, and around, until project f was finalized. figuring that it would be a good way to use some of the off cuts, i decided to go with 2 copies. with all of the parts ripped to width, and cut to length, and angles, all that is left, is to plane them to smooth, and proper thicknesses. but, getting towards the end of the day, i was hit with the three too's, too late, too hot, and too tired, to do the planing. if you have figured out what project f is, after looking at the pictures (no pics, didn't happen ya know), you will have a happy day!

more done with these today. planed all of the parts to thickness. last night at work, i came up with an idea for some fancy work on it (looked a little plain to me). used the mackintosh rose i drew, and added some rectangles and squares. set up the cnc, and carved the fancy work. then marked off where to cut for the biscuits, and glued them both up. hopefully tomorrow, cut the rabbets for the glass, backer, and framing material.
