Here's the skeleton

...of the little cabinet I'm making.  Today it shrunk in width about 1/4 " because I got the router to migrate past it's course (twice).  Clever!
Around 3 pm most days I sort of glaze over.  Brain just doesn't think clearly anymore.  So I've started using that as play time.  They are installing a new exhibit in the gallery (sculpture) that opens Friday so I went to check that out.   Check it out on their website:  Center for Furniture Craftsmanship, Messler Gallery.   I started messing about with wood and techniques that have nothing to do with my cabinet but still I learn with little or no risk of wrecking something.   I tried "resawing" today which is just sawing something the lengthwise but also depth wise - so in other words, something that might be 10 inches long and 1 inch thick you cut to make two pieces, each 1/2 inch thick but still 10" long.   Worked pretty well.  
Tomorrow we go check out a few different woodworkers' workshops.  Can't wait!
