What a great day! First, I woke to snow - as in heavily coming down, probly gonna stick, snow! And we must have 6 inches by now (8pm). That's pretty perfect.
Then, I made some progress in class. I learned more on the router table and cut my rabbets to slip the back piece into - which is actually going to be three pieces ship lapped together! And cut those laps and started down the slippery slope of curving the top. The top will be curved on top and a little bite of a curve underneath, just a half inch so it accepts the top drawer and acts as a stop for it. I may glue up the body of the piece any day now!! So exciting.
Both instructors raised eyebrows at me though - I was stuck so thought the natural thing to do was to start on the drawers. Noooooo, that must be done after the body is done. Oh...
Too many students, not enough machines today.
And the topper: I went to the laundromat and had enough cash to wash AND dry all my clothes. Really, it's the little things that make me happy.
