Welcome to TPWW, Chris! Prayers for great health and good woodworking.

Working on a small tool chest for luthier specific tools. 

One corner down ,three more to go.

 

Work on the additional storage cabinet continues (sanding, edge banding). My supervisor said this was enough for today. 

 

Need to work on the door. Had hoped to get to that but shop organization took too much of my time as needed to prepare for minisplit installation later this week.

Thanks, Lew!

Hopefully I can find time (and weather) this week to cut the rest of them.

Finish applied outside as it was warmer than in the shop. Supervisor was distracted by a squirrel in the tree. 

Didn't have enough of the maple I milled for the door, so just put the box in place for now. Hope to get more wood so I can finish this...soon!

Wow, must be great to have that kind of weather first week of January. Nice here late today, but not near that nice. Looks great so far.

I know! Last year at this time my husband's school was closed for snow/weather! So 60s are unusual, but good timing to get this project moving along.
