Welcome


Welcome.

I created this blog to document the sights of our boating season
for our family and friends to follow.

Enjoy the tour.

Shopping is complete, the gifts are wrapped, and baby, it's cold outside!!!  Time for winter project #2.

The plan is to turn this...

into this...

A seven drawer dresser.
There's a few construction features in the project that I'm not totally sold on so there needs to be a few decisions made before I get too far.  In the meantime, I can get started with some of the basics.

So it begins...

The first cut.

The dresser has 1 3/4" square legs so I need to glue up some stock to get that.  It will take a days worth of gluing to get four legs.

I grabbed an old paper out of the pile to glue on.  It was from November 1990.  How about a 27" TV for a whopping $900?  A $250 boombox?  $350 for a mobile phone?  How things have progressed.


This project is going to take a little time and effort.  Hopefully, I end up with something more than a pile of sawdust.

Stay tuned.
