Steadily churning towards a dining table by Christmas. More sanding, a few more fills, and some bracket work before applying finish.

Well… lots of work, but after the first version self destructed, it’s a table base… just needs finishing. On to the top #woodworking

Trying to do some warm up work before I dive into table building. I haven’t in the past, but I’ve heard it’s good practice to do so.

In grad school, my cohort members always asked if you were a Leslie or an Ann... I'm proud to be a Ron. Despite what he says he espouses, he takes care of his people, works hard, and shows up day in and out. In a world of Jean-Ralphios and Jamms... do your part to make the world better.
