Shop activity has been at an impressive level this week. Adam and Becky comissioned a bed frame; sleeping on the floor became tiresome. The materials employed are decidedly modern folk-art; dimensional pine lumber and galvanized steel hadware. While the structure is desk-esque, my minimal design makes good use of the materials; low clean lines, eposed hardware and linseed oil finish with a satin luster prevents the bed from looking imposing or blocky. Aside from the asthetic goodness, I'm finally receiving payment for my work. What I earn will contribute to my bandsaw fund. That, in turn, will allow me to more efficiently process turning stock. People seem to want bowls. The lathe stand is still pending, but I think I should take the time to build it. I need a sturdier platform for turning larger bowls.
