Long time rocker
Nearly 2 years and counting.
Have done more in the last six weeks than in the last year and a half.
Although, in order to move along on the rocker i did make some tools.
The rocker as you see isnt complete yet, not by a long shot but these are my first pics.
Rocker -Timber is spotted gum.
Bowsaw - Timber is red gum
Spoke shave - Timber is Blackwood

Sometimes it does take a long time to complete a task. I know this for the very simple reason that happens to me. I have been requested to make something for someone I know. It has taken me three weeks to get to the shed to pull out the wood.
All you can do is one step at a time. Complete that step and then start on the next one.

Well 2yrs ago we had our first baby, rocker started not finished. Very little time in the shed. 2yrs later next one on the way even less time in the shed. An hour here and there.

That is a fine looking rocker.
You have done the difficult part - the joinery on all those angles.
Now you can enjoy the progress, at what ever pace you can make.Scally
