I’ve been doing a lot of work in the old workshop lately. I’ve
got all my most useful hand tools on custom made tool holders on a French cleat
system running the length of the wall. I’ve built an outfeed table/workbench
for my table saw and I’ve built a scrap wood sorting rack. I finished a
birdhouse a while ago that I’m pretty proud of and I’m working on a pretty neat
project now for the house. I’m building a calendar. It’s a 2ft by 1.5ft oak
plywood board with a sheet of plexiglass held in front of it by a aspen wood
frame. The plexiglass has the grid for the calendar painted on the back side so
we can write on the plexiglass with dry erase markers. It’s a pretty neat
project. I’ll post some photos of all this stuff sometime soon so you have some
idea what I’m trying to describe.
One upcoming project that I’m particularly excited about is
building some work stations for K’s bead studio room. She’s making do with a
cheap computer desk for now, but I’m planning a pretty deluxe set up with
cupboards and drawers and a big countertop to work on. She and I are working
out the details of that plan so we can get started. Along with my daily
writing, there’s a lot going on! I’ll post photos along with a proper “State of
the Workbench” post very soon.
