it gets pretty cold out there some days. I don't have a real heating system, just some floor heaters that just about keep my fingers warm enough for the blood to circulate. Limited hours, limited time. Usually after noon, when its a bit warmer.
cant finish anything, and if I turn, I never leave anything out there, so finish and glues are brought out daily.
Its not an ideal working environment, get a lot of sore muscles, backaches, but sitting around doing nothing isn't an option for me. especially after I get my lunchtime does of coffee
since November, Ive managed to cut up 6 Adirondack chairs, one baby chair, assemble 4 of them, shipped, and the baby chair, shipped, 2 chairs not assembled for me, later in april. All pressure treated pine
my future daughterinlaw, drew me some very impressive drawings of the night stands she wanted, similar to the ones I made my daughter, but she wanted drawers. Im finished with them, but I cant spray lacquer till warmer weather, so they just sit in my house waiting.tops and backs aren't attached.
I cant find her drawings, I must have tossed them when I was finished and cleaned up.
took another chunk of wood Jim gave me at Jons gathering, made another bowl, still applying poly after 3 coats of oil. the never ending project and its just a junkie bowl.
made 4 bottle stoppers, 2 are gone, (gifted with bottles of wine over the holidays, elen and me work as a team, she quilts bags for the wine and stopper) My relatives and friends keep asking us when we are moving to Lancaster and opening up a shop.
some pics of the winter work.
Im going to begin making some jigs this and next week, too many doctors appts, but whenever I get some warm hands.
next project is a small hello kitty trinket box, very unfancy, but Id lilke to make it cute enough for my little grand niece.
I had to stop working today, just couldn't feel my fingers, forget to turn the heaters on earlier.
elen finished a small quilt, shes getting much better at that stuff. Randi created a monster
