Back to Work

Oh man, back to work tomorrow.   I managed to get a few things done around the house and shop this weekend.   On Saturday the temperature was in the mid 60’s.  This was the chance I needed to spray some sealer on a few projects.

I completed my Lemoyne quilt table this weekend.   I have been working on this since November.   The last thing that I needed to do was to spray the base with sealer.   It has just been too cold to do it. Well this weekend was the perfect weather.   Got it all sprayed and then once dried reassembled.

Now I need to get a glass top cut for it.  Still not sure what we are going to do with it.   It is a pretty awesome piece.   I just couldn’t get rid of it when we got a new table and had to give it a new life.

I finished painting another rotary hoe tiller wheel.   With the weather being so nice I was able to spray and seal them.  I now have four done and only need to do one more.    Three in the back and two in front should look pretty good.  The three in the back will be higher than the two in the front and they will offset each other.  With everything I have going on it will be a few weeks before I can start working on the base.

Our old dog Mable freaked out on us on Saturday.   We took off for our walk and headed up to BCP.   We let the dogs off the leash so they could run around.  Well old Mable decided she was going home.   When we would get close to her she would run.   Then just ran and headed back towards the way home.   She got away from us, but she found her way home.   She was there when we got back.  She is half blind and doesn’t hear well.  We have no idea what spooked her but she decided she was done and going home.

Today I spent about 4 hours at the shop.  It was a mess and I had stuff lying all over.   Took the air hose and blew the dust off the work benches and put all the tools away.  Cleaned up the trash and threw out some stuff I was holding onto and will never use, so I let it go.  Swept and swept some more. Looks pretty good and now I can figure out another project so I can mess it all up again.
