My copy finally showed up today.

A story of traditional Scandinavian woodcraft told through the life and work of craftsman Wille Sundqvist, master of the knife and axe.

Check out this Kickstarter and consider supporting it.  They have received their goal but more funds will make the final product that much better.  I’m not involved with this except that I contributed.  Thanks

GeoGuessr is a geography game which takes you on a journey around the world and challenges your ability to recognize your surroundings.

Holy crap this website is fantastic and addictive.

The dirty, cluttered, busy workshop.  Working on panels for the drawer and door fronts.

The kitchen reno is well…slow.  I am currently pissed off at both Lowe’s and Home Depot for various reasons dealing with special orders.  But I did hook up the dishwasher.  No counters or sink, but we can wash dishes now so I have that going for me.

This is after 2 weeks of work.  We are so excited.  The room is brighter with twice the counter space and storage.  You can see a sample of the flooring material and the color sample for the door and drawer fronts.

Veneer Composition #1

I used black tinted epoxy and it bled through too much.

Been a long time since I last posted.  Getting ready and now started on my kitchen renovation.  This is pretty blah-blah boring stuff now and I actually hired the drywall and demo out.

We’re going from a galley kitchen to a horseshoe shape.  The door out to the garage got moved over to the left to give more counter space.
