End Times

After two days of unmitigated disaster and stress, I can say, with some trepidation as it isn't quite dry yet, that my grad piece is finished. Yes. Finished.  

You should come to our graduation exhibition! All of my clever problem solving will be on display for the summer.

Checking Off the Boxes

Last weekend the barracks shop opened! Here's a glimpse of my display:

Cast-iron trellises + a coffee table + a folding patio table = DONE.

I'm pleased by the end result. Had I more time and cash, the display would be a bit smoother, but heck, for under $70, it looks pretty good! The shop is open 7 days a week, 10am-5pm (you should check it out).

Book Pieces

 I spent the weekend carving up that board I purchased in my last post. My father helped me with the table saw, circular saw, planer, and drill (a fun and noisy process!)and in the end there were six little rectangles for the book covers, and two long boards left for a future project. Maybe some day I'll have a workshop and wood shed as impressive as my father's?
