Hi Again
I’m still here. I’m sitting here watching stage three of the tour. Nothing exiting, but it’s good to see it again.
anyway, I was reminded a couple of times lately that I haven’t updated things in a while. It has been too. For reasons i will get into, I have some time now. Although I have been busy lately, I do not offer that as an excuse. The truth is, I got a little lazy. (I also spend a lot of my free time riding my bike) But, to the few pwople who might like to read this, I’m not being fair.
As to why I have some time right now. Like I said, I have been working for John. The big job we were working on ended and we were just about ready to start the next job which was a kitchen when the client got laid off!!! I left right there because, like I said to him, he needs to give priority to his regular guys. There is not a lot of work anymore. I hope he can keep his regulars busy.
I have had a few small jobs and the phone is ringing a little. I just finished a screen door for a local couple and I think I will get a small blanket chest in the near future. Right now I am refinishing some tables I made for the local college a few years ago. They are putting a huge addition onto the campus and had to clear out the building where the tables are used. Since they had to do that, they asked me to re-finish them. Those student are rough on furniture. The tables themselves held up well, but there are stains, gum globs, ink doodles and just plain dirt. There is also one of them that got wet and stayed that way. The top needs some attention. I think it’s salvagable though.
OK, last thing for now. I promised pictures of the furniture I sent to New York. I have a picture of one of the chairs. The tables are so much like the other ones I do, I didn’g include them. Here is the chair.
The new Chair
Came out nice, don’t you think?? Alright, that’s all I have time for right now. Hopefully it won’t be so long next time.
