Well, I haven’t been active for awhile due to work, but that doesn’t mean I havent been thinking about my projects. I’m off from about the 3rd or 4th week in November until March 1st. With the big shop remodel this year, I didn’t have much time to work on anything else. Well, the rush at work is about over and I will have plenty of time to get back to projects. I have a lumber rack started and that will be the first thing to finish. I already have the 3 x 3 oak posts glued up and mortises cut…now I just have to mill the arms and cut the tenons. Next up will be a heavy duty plywood workbench. I found one in a Fine Woodworking book that I like and I think I’m gonna go with it. I really don’t have the time right now for a nice maple cabinetmakers bench, but I will definately be revisiting that in a year or two. Next on the agenda will be a simple plywood outfeed table. I think I’ll go with Marc Spagnuolo’s outfeed table from his “somebody feed me” episode (thewoodwhisperer.com). It seemed like a nice, simple but functional table. After I finally get caught up there, it’s off to the races. I’ve got two immediate projects for my wife…a bookcase and a jewelry armoire. I also have a commision for a small desk that I’ve got to start thinking about as well. So, as you can see, I have a full plate with a day job to boot, so I’ll be posting again real soon.
