My Dad and I did get some time to work on the table today and we made some decent progress. We cut the stretcher board and the notches in the legs for the stretcher board to go into. We also glued and clamped the leg-halves together. One of the legs has a little bit of […]

Last night was a little busier than anticipated. Tasha was headed to Bloomington so she could teach classes for two days, so I spent last night hanging out around the house. I was joined by my brother-in-law who had just finished his first “real life” interview with a potential employer in Springfield. He was very […]

Tonight was an interesting one. We had a returning student from a few years back (I think while I was at college, not sure) and a few new beginners. The first class was kept pretty basic, despite the fact that Oedewaldt took the new students into the other room. We did a lot of blocking […]
