I’m lying in bed and I’m trying to think of the last time I felt dread on a Sunday, about the impending return to work on a Monday, as it has to have been years since I last felt that way. I’ve had bad moments prior to a dentist visit, a colonoscopy or my vasectomy, but not for work. I’m part of a lucky few, whom works from home, for myself, and can keep busy with home DIY projects, hobbies and volunteer gigs in between paid jobs. It is very pleasant, and for however long it lasts, these are some wonderful Sundays, rain or shine that I’ve gotten to enjoy with my kids and wife.
School is out for the summer in T-minus three weeks less one half day. Then nine weeks of kids at home 24/7, just like the lock downs and several portions of the previous three school years. Bikes, beach, pool, playing catch and being outside should help a bunch now that it’s summer time, or close to. I wish my kids had friends that lived closer so they could romp at the park freely with their peer group. Just a little too young to go alone right now. Patience!
I have made significant progress on my Hickory multi use table, and baked my Ogre Rogue bust, and mounted it on a wooden base. I built the armature, and bulked out the torso on my Ninja Turtle full figure sculpt, so I can start on that if I feel like it.
My main focus right now is the structure of my table. I can scale back once I make it to the sanding stage. I am making a point to sand it in pieces prior to assembly & final glue up. I hate having tucked away hard to reach corners, so I’m going to attack each piece by itself. The only part to get stain will be the interior of the drawer, which has a plywood base. Everything else will get a clear coat, to show off the wood. I still have a whole slew of dados to cut for the shelf, and my cross braces are not to thickness yet. I’ll have to run them through the planer a few more times, in order to sneak up on a tight fit.
