Monday........I must have lost a day again. 

Getting doors about done for deck closet. Next project is a desk for my wife's office.

 

Added wheels to one end if my sawhorse / cat house builds. To move lift on one side till wheels contact the ground. 

 

 

Count down to Christmas.  Stuff needs made yet.

Lasering some business cards on leather as an experiment.

Trying to get a table done....

Waiting on the stain to dry,before a top coat, or 2.....

Tuesday afternoon, going in for the Heart Cath.....

After that?

Still waiting for my shoulder to heal so I can get to work on the buffet I'm supposed to be building. Last photo of progress attached showing my supervisor after checking my work was up to scratch....

Let me interpret for the Cat. 

 

"So when is this going to be done?  The other Human that feeds me wants to see results and I have better stuff to do then come here and see this still not done.  Today Human!!!  Move it move it move it!!!!"

The faster I go the behinder I get.  December is usually a very busy but very profitable month.  I had a guy convince me to cut down a cabinet for him (he paid me well) so Friday night I cut the cabinet down and Saturday I made a pair of flat front inset doors.  I didn’t have to finish them so that was a plus.  I decided to start selling coasters at my shows so I built 25 sets.  I sold the last 5 sets today So they’re on my immediate to do list.  Over the weekend, I sold a jewelry box and a walnut flag case in my Etsy store and now I’m down to just an oak case in the store.  Add cases to the to do list.  Today I started a pair of oak bookcases that I promised before Christmas.  I suppose Christmas shopping needs to be started too.  
 

I’m not complaining at all but an old, retired guy isn’t supposed to be this busy.

Yeah my Dad says the same thing.  Says he may go back to work to get some rest.

We retired so we didn't have to work. So far, so good.

Mine's been gone for years. Every once in a while I hear faint hoof beats. I just ignore them.

You forgot the other parts. "When are you feeding me next, and where are my play toys?"
