Pete and Kelli’s social distance day 9
It was full speed ahead on a couple of small pieces that we can sell cheaply to test if people are still interesting in buying.
I re-assembled the small table, but was not happy with the strength if the fixing, that needed improving.
When we moved into the house there was lots of bits of timber left in the garage that I have gradually used up on various projects. In particular some rectangular strips of oak beading that would be perfect for what I needed. After searching all the bins and my wood store in the shed, I found just enough to finish the job, a few months ago I was tripping over the stuff.
The total shut down comes into force at midnight, so we shall see what happens.
I continued with the chair repair. I started on the one with arms only to find a piece of the lower back rail missing, so I set in a piece of ash to repair it.
It had snowed overnight, so it was strange to wake up to that, thankfully it melted pretty quick as the temperature rose.
I started stripping the desk top, hopefully this will be a simple finishing job.
I have braced myself, because it is never a simple job.
Kelli had someone interested in the large dresser we completed a couple of weeks ago, that has sat in the garage covered in a shroud.
We will wait and see if the interest turns into a sale.
Another Lifetime to go
