Follansbee is making me a table.
He gave it a shout out in his blog this morning…https://pfollansbee.wordpress.com/
Here he is sawing one of the great pine boards that his pal Ted gave him.
A couple of these fine specimens are tucked away in his shop …
to be fashioned into something sorta like this…
Which, as my friend Ted would have said…is sorta fun.
And that jogged me to come back here to my own blog and record another update on the New Studio build.
Racing towards the finish line now, the last few weeks have been about fine tuning the original designs and trimming out the interior.
Dan has begun the library and got the first stack of boards ready this week and set up a staining station for me.
Maggie and I were ready…and I got my first taste of what it will be like to “work” in my new studio…
It brought me to tears and I turned up the tunes and danced the night away.
We had already had a cold opening of sorts with a “Friendsgiving” which couldn’t be beat… (Next year we’ll be eating at Peter’s table)
Another milestone was the addition of Ishmael on the roof. Jake got the job done and gave her the first spin…
While Dan and Skippy made piles of sawdust inside the New Studio, I made my own small pile of shavings while carving a plaque for the library. The HN Studio motto will have pride of place in its new home…
But first we needed to add some railing to the loft…
With the Solstice on our doorstep the sunsets and the gloaming are bringing the place to life…
And we are all full tilt tired at the end of these shorter and shorter days…
May your winter days be filled with warming sunlight and muddy pawprints…
and may you have as much fun as we are…
after dodging a barrage of life’s lemons…
making sweet lemonade.
