Gonna get busy here so unlikely to post again until after New Years.
Therapy is going well. This is the first winter since I got hurt in 2006 that I feel well enough to WANT to work on projects. Last winter at this time it was all I could do to pick up the breakfast dishes and clean myself up before Vivian got home from work. Not so this year!!
As my muscles, tendons and ligaments loosen up I find my energy levels escalating. One project after another. I am completely jacked out of shape with the thought of having my life back.
These are examples of dorade boxes. Funny how you can find plenty of picures but no measurements. I decided to use the dovetail jig and build some practice boxes out of cheap pine before using hardwood.
I used the length of a square box first. Decided that doing an angle on one side would be good
It needs a little tweeking to get it just right. I also need to adjust the measurements now to the size I need. However, it is my first dovetailed box. Not bad for a start.
Vivian has cookie decorating planned for tomorrow. I am making fudge and possibly some Cinnamon rolls.
But right now I need to scramble into the shower. I have therapy in about 40 minutes.
