I had MLK off so that meant a three day weekend. In late Feb I will be giving the woodworking club I belong to a virtual shop tour. I'm excited about this. I've used that activity as incentive to give the shop a deep clean and organization. I will have a longer post about this when it is all done. Below is a before and after of one area that has been a mess for 5 years. The mess is gone and what remains on the smaller table is all going to be sold and the table folded up.
In doing this deep clean and organization, I am also getting around to little things I've wanted to do for a while. About two years ago I skipped one of the two stairs when walking down them and took a good fall. My wife had kindly bought me this more visible anti-fatigue skid mats. Finally, I got them installed.
I also finished the bow saw project (future post written and set to go out in March), made a small cart to hold my handyman tools, and started making a long spatula for the wife for one of our tall big pots and got half way through that. Just felt really good to get a bunch of things done. I can't control the world but I do get a sense of peace when I know my shop is tidy and in order. When I mentioned above a March posting, the obvious question is why so far out. The answer is that I try to post just once a week (Sat 7 am PST). It can be hard to write a blog; the woodworking is easy. What I have been doing the last few weeks is forcing myself to write a bit each morning. It seems to be working.
