Day 2411 Doing what I like.

20th March 2024

I returned to actually making and repairing things, which made a change.

Louise had given me a small round table base that had a broken leg. It had been repaired badly using nails and a kind of building adhesive. It took several hours to remove all this muck that just filled rather than glued.

I had to use tools that were easily available (most were stored away).

Once all that had been chipped away I could see what was left of the joint.

I used an epoxy to bond it together and fill gaps.

Whilst that was curing, I got on with Rob’s box.

Now this is nothing smutty, it was a box that will be fixed into his living room stud wall.

I managed to do all the machining with what I could cobble together. Back in the US I have more tools and tables that would make doing stuff easier, but I battled through.

The next job was loading the truck with the trunk and branches from the cutdown trees, intending to take to the tip tomorrow.
