First thing this morning I built a nice hot fire in the wood stove to take the chill off the air in the shop. It got chilly last night. Once I achieved an air temp of 55° again I rolled the main part of the desk over on the small workbench that has been supporting it, tacked it off and stained it.
Then I had to leave for a bit and let the stain set up. Once it’s no longer tacky I can proceed.
Seems we’ve decided to add a door and a pencil drawer to this project. So I need to make those and stain them before we go further.
I spent the afternoon ripping strips and gluing them together in half-panels, then surface planing the half-panels and jointing the
halves and gluing the halves together into the blank that will yield a nice flat door and matching drawer front.
It's a bit early, but I now have a shortage of space again. And we have out of town relatives visiting -- whom I am not spending much time with because I don't get to take extended leaves of absence, so Marie and I will be taking them out to dinner this evening. Therefore, I need to get cleaned up and change clothes anyway.
