Well today is Monday. I know because 24 was on tonight. My wife called me
over the intercom to let me know that 24 was on in 30 minutes and I had time
to get to a ending point. Started in the shop at 0800 and quit at 2000
with a 2 hour nap and 2 hours of honeydo's. No turning just a lot of glue
ups. Start turning some 10' posts tomorrow then continue with the glue up
of some fantastic and difficult stair end posts from 8/4 red oak. Hope to
have one glued up by the end of the week. Monsters are 48" tall and 13" at
widest with a total of 7 stave sections in glue up. Should weigh about 150
lbs each. Got a bunch of extraneous c### to do that will take me away from
the shop this week so I doubt that I will get more than 50 hours shop time.
Next week is vacation so I should get more shop time and get shop cleaned,
start modifications on table saw and get at least one cowboy hat turned from
the pecan I picked up last week. Also need to make bank deposit. Talked
with Tiger Woods today. He plays golf on his vacation and I work in the
shop on mine. Both of us get paid to do exactly what we want, he just gets
more. Ain't life a ***!
