Well, it's back to the day job today, but I did make some good progress on this next run of boxes. They're a Doug Stowe design with some modifications.

Here's a very picture heavy update from my blog...

It was a nice and toasty 33 degrees here in the Twin Cities, so I found myself back out in the shop!

It's so much nicer working in the shop when you can't see your breath and your fingers don't go numb!

Even more work done...sanding and some layout on those fancy Padauk pieces.

I was able to complete the glue-ups on the boxes. It's been pretty cold again here in Minnesota, so I moved the operation into the house.

Coming along nicely Pete.:):)

has the weather started to warm up out your way? Even a little bit?

[mn pete]

Thanks Art!

It warmed up for a bit there (into the 40's) and then we had another winter storm roll through, with a pretty heavy load of snow. We're back down into the 20's and 30's now...mostly 20's. Can't wait for Spring!

Always a good idea to be comfortable when you are woodworking. I move things inside the house when I have to apply finish. :U

This week I built a slot cutting jig for box corners, and today I made it back out into the shop and got some cutting done. I'm adding the corner splines to about 2/3 of the latest run of boxes.
