14th September 2021
The weather has changed, the thunder rumbles and the showers hit.
Kelli didn’t sleep well last night, and that effects how she feels for the rest of the day.
There had been a stash of cash building up on the table that needed to get put in the bank, so that was the first job of the day.
I had lots of small jobs to do, mainly machining with router and skill saw.
A package containing the drawer stops I had ordered for the commissioned dresser arrived. They were not quite what I was expecting, but a quick look on the web site showed how they were used. I had to make blocks to attach the stops to the inside of the front rails of the carcass. I had some scrap timber of the correct thickness to cut up.
There are times when I get scared of cutting small pieces of wood on the chop saw. My hand gets so close to the blade my buttocks clench tight. The words of my woodwork teacher ring in my ears “Alway know where the blade is”, which was ironic because a few years later the saw nicked his finger.
I managed to cut everything without injury
Mr Searle would have been proud of me.
