From the Workshop: Only four more to go

I lit a fire under my hinder parts yesterday because a friend said she’s coming over tomorrow (at one o'clock? Cripes!) to help put two chairs together in The Shed.

Until I went to work space was tight in there because eight birdhouses needing trim covered one temporary bench and wood for three chairs was scattered about.


I took the wood stacked on one Rietveld chair and built a second. (They make a lovely pair for my wife and I to enjoy on the back deck when warmer weather returns).


I’m looking forward now to tomorrow’s assembly exercise because my friend and I cut, sanded and stained pieces of lumber to make another of my favourite styles - the Audrey Chair (see side margin).

And what will I do with all the space once the Audrey’s have gone?

Easy. Four piles of rescued lumber stored in The Annex require sanding, staining and assembly too.

I’ll slow down when it’s not fun anymore to rescue and reuse lumber.

Can’t see that happening for quite a while.

Plus, I need gas money for a few motorcycle rides before winter comes.
