Day 515 Oh no, not again!

4th January 2019

I set up the planer thicknesser to make edging for the side tables, as these were the next priority. The pieces went through several times without a problem, then at the final pass two of them shattered as the blade hit some cross grain, BUMMER! So a bit of serious repair work is needed.

I was having brunch with Dave, so Kelli was off food shopping on her own.

When I returned I ambled into the garage I started scraping the finish off the drawer fronts when the phone rang. The warning signs were there, “great furniture, a lot of interest in most of it” therefore it was only a matter of time before disaster struck, and it did. The tall dresser sold! Now it was full speed ahead to get the side tables finished. Well into the evening we worked together to get them finished.
