That took a while…
Sanded, squared, rounded. Now time for oiling!

Halfway there.
The router would be sad if I tried to cut this channel in one pass.
Then again, any electrical device is a heater if you try hard enough.

Not to worry! The ‘rails’ will make for good edge guides. Maybe.
Is it an excuse to use my janky, but home-made router table? Yes.
Did I manage to get the dimensions correct by sneaking up on the target value instead of ‘eyeballing it’ and finding I’ve gone way over?
Also yes.

Cut some rails for a router to ride on.
They’re a bit short… I didn’t actually think this through, to nobody’s surprise.
However… maybe they’re long enough to stick some blocks on the very ends?
Or am I going to need to make a longer track/sled out of plywood?
Stay tuned!

So… this cannot stand. I mean. Look at this absurd edge that isn’t square on to anything!

Fun fact about #ADHD: sometimes you get paralysed with executive dysfunction; sometimes you end up planing, routing, squaring off, sanding and oiling a perfectly fine chopping board.
Much better.

The fluffy cloud is upset that he can’t go out of the front door.
He is not allowed out of the front door because:
- he gets scared by plants, turtles and unexpected rustling
- he can’t climb fences to come back in through the garden round back
- he’s too stupid to go anywhere but the garden.

To be fair, I've yet to work out what sets Mr Fluff™ off.
Sometimes he's perfectly chill, doing his own thing.
Other times, I turn to look at him and he shoots off like he's the bomb disposal tech that's just heard a *click*.

People of Bluesky, I'm looking for resources to educate myself on the #menopause. Especially if you're a man who's been there for their beau through it.
Specifically resources around supporting a partner while yourself being #neurodivergent and struggling with #empathy and remembering things.

It finally happened. Small cat fell into the pond. Well, more accurately, he jumped out of a massive empty tub sitting next to the pond, totally misjudging the height, distance, and direction, and ended up right in the water.
He had a 75% chance of picking a side without water, but he chose chaos.
