Gary Knox Bennett, remember the woodworker who slammed the 16d nail into his finished cabinet?

It'll be a masterpiece I am sure Rick!

We'll see. Here's my sketchup of it. So far I've made all the legs and rails. Looks like I accidently hid my bottom left rail.

Still creating parts for the little "swirl" dish

Collar for the underside of the dish-

Base for the pedestal-

Searching my scraps for a piece of maple for the post.

Cut grass and cleaned up the yard Saturday & a graduation party that night. This is the son of a young man who use to deliver our newspaper, time rolls on.

The baker is at it again, took third place in the Simply Slavic bake-off with her funkies/bowties.

Yeah Patti!!!!!!

Hmm, Morris is on the ball, today!

Worked IN the shop, this morning...

So..NOW I am looking for something to use these in..

There was one board that I had to throw away, though..

This is the board involved in that Thumb vs Tablesaw Incident last February..and, that red mark is NOT paint...

Got a start on breaking down plywood for doors and drawers for the mitersaw cabinets. This is why I invested in a track saw - safety (no wrestling a full sheet of plywood at the tablesaw) and accuracy (no trying to clamp a straight edge to guide my circular saw).

Had a great weekend at the Pickle Fest. Today ended up just vegetating as by the time I was ready to go out was almost time for a turning club executive meeting. So just spent some time trying to get the office computer working with no good result. Tomorrow the wife may have plans for us , not sure yet. Only got about an inch of rain today.

BTDT!!

Drywall repair in preparation for painting the garage (old tape lines were loose plus various other areas). 😬 Too much fun 🙄

Still more coats to go, but made some progress.

I've called drywall repair a lot of things over time.....somehow I don' think "fun" was ever in any of the descriptors I used.

Haha...trying to be positive but alas only sarcasm. 😉 I watched some new videos after my first attempt and ended up tearing out yesterday's work in some sections as I didn't get enough mud behind the paper tape. 🤦‍♀️Think I'm back on track. Must build character or something like that, right? 🤷‍♀️

Oh a woodworking front, did get plywood cut for the top drawers for the mitersaw station. Just need to get the bottom panels and dados cut and then I can get to assembly. Other projects (like the drywall!) keep interrupting, but inching along.
