Started

Well, have finally gotten the fist of many projects almost to the completion stage. Making a triangular shelfing project for the wife. It's a three teer affair that has just three legs on each level.

Its 37 inches wide, and 27 inches deep with 45 degree sides. Had to dowl and glue pieces together, and after doing a lot of sanding, am ready to put the stain on. Problem is, the stain I have on hand has dried out, (Stains in the desert tend to do that even with the lid tightly on.)
Going to make it a Golden Oak.

Ready to go

Well, I have the wood, and am ready to begin new projects that I have found patterns for.

The problem is the weather. We here in the desert have received a whole years supply of rain in just a few days.

This has delayed any wood work, as my rain gutters glue has dried in the hot sun and seperated, and when the rains came, the joints leaked badly. We are expecting more rains, so this has to be fixed before I can get back into wood working.
