Time to Catch Up

I can say what a great summer it was now that it's over. I completed the dance board project for a folk-indie music group, and a small but interesting speaker project. Both turned out to be personally rewarding in the outcomes they produced. The fall weather came early this September, and my thoughts instinctively turned to the possibility of yet another hard winter like the one we experienced last year when I started building my shelving unit project. Although the shelf unit side frames were completed, the actual shelf parts for that project were still stacked all around the shop. So it seemed natural to at least complete the shelves while I wait for word on yet another project design I recently submitted to a client for final approval.

The shelving unit project is a challenge in the shear number of operations it requires for each component assembly. It has given me a huge volume of experience in building large mortise and tenon joined frames in this relatively newly restructured workshop of mine.

They say that the weather should warm up by the end of the week. It may be an opportunity to take some time to get myself out of the shop, and take a short break from the work and sawdust. I think that might not be such a bad idea really.
