Welcome


Welcome.

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

Enjoy the tour.

To paraphrase the Who,

Meet the new year...same as the old year!  Old man winter has a grip on Michigan.  Ice, then cold, then snow, then more snow, then more snow, then...



The snow is falling at a rate of about an inch an hour.  We're promised a good foot on top of the foot that was already on the ground.  On the positive side, there should be plenty of water to float the boat in May.

A bit more progress to report on the dresser project.

I'm using plywood for the interior framing because it will be more stable that solid hardwood.  A few pieces of the frame will be exposed, so I glued an oak cap to those pieces.

I bought a new trim router to handle this type of trim job as opposed to a large tool.  I found the trim router to be much easier to handle but it does need just a little larger base.

I finished the edge trimming and completed the cutting of all the base framing stock.

These parts are all assembled with tongue and groove joints.  Creation of those features is the next step.

In the meantime, I'll be shoveling snow.

Ultimate Fishing Show next weekend.  2014 boat launch is a mere 18 weeks away.  Ugh!
