Beginnings

Is it me or does everyone come home from work and pass out? Okay, it's just me. Perhaps I should try one of those drugs they advertise on television.

 

Out in my wood shop I have three projects going on. Two balloon back windsor chairs and a sack back windsor. Believe it or not, the sack back was started 18 years ago.  Can I win an award as a procrastinator?

I was doing so well 18 years ago, it was the 6th or 7th windsor I had worked on and we moved to a new house. The kids were small, the house needed work, there were soccer games to attend, graduate school to survive and just a lot of interruptions along the way. 

Now the oldest is married, the other two are out of the house and I find myself with time but no energy. 

I guess this blog is a plea for encouragement to finish these projects. So there it is, a cry for help. Pathetic I know. 

Okay then, I am glad I got that off my mind. I have been told I ramble. I suppose it is a gift. If you are following this blog you may be in worse shape than me. No matter. Okay, my first task is to figure out how to post some pictures of the projects I am working on or have been. I'll be back...

I figured out how to post pictures. This is a blanket chest I built for my daughter's wedding. Somewhere I have finished pictures of it, but this one shows off the "hand cut" dovetails.
