baby steps


Preoccupied as I've been I have not failed to notice the change of season
this was the second never-ending snow belt winter in a row
and those little snowdrops were two days from opening when the white stuff finally receded


I earn but a scant few minutes each week to devote to my bench
most of that time was jointing close enough that a couple passes could cinch up the surfaces


a few warm days and I managed to glue up four more sticks


the ends need a tongue


cut, chop, plane


seriously, that's all the instruction you need


then again there's a whole new manual I'm working on now
