Day 1513 The living dead

2nd October 2021

We had to drive to Zeeland to deliver another dresser to one of our most loyal customers. She has three pieces already, and they look great in their setting.

Once that was done it was off to Hudsonville to collect another piece. The route used to be well worn when we had a booth at Painted Farmgirl, that seems a long time ago.

The dresser needs a bit of loving care, but it was not so bad as some we’ve had recently.

I had done a number of jobs earlier, like cutting a rebate on a panel that I had repaired.

In the US they call it a “Rabbit” which is weird.

I set up my trimming router with a guide and did the job in a couple of minutes.

Managed to stain more drawer fronts, and rebuilt a dresser carcase ready for Kelli to prime.

Larry had a meeting of the rusty van club. Numerous vehicles in different stages of decomposition turned up. The same could be said of the drivers, they milled around his yard like survivors from a zombie apocalypse, with them as the rejects from Michael Jackson’s Thriller video.
