in the past couple of weeks, I’ve been working on doing more and talking less… I’ve been clicking off a bunch of hands on projects that have been in the back of my mind gathering dust.. I’ve also been taking on some new stuff that I know I can get done in short order .. Deb and Diane are designing on some tables that will be made from some slices we took out of a big maple that we had to take down a few years back. Last week they bought me a bunch of steel to use to fashion the legs..
\n\"\"<\/p>\n

This morning Gabe and I worked to cut the 2×1 tubular steel and start welding the boxes that will be the legs. It was really fun working with Gabe.. he’s a very good craftsman..<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Gabe did most of the cutting. once all the pieces were cut.. we ground them down and trued them up.
\n\"\"<\/p>\n

then it was time to weld. Gabe and I both took a few practice runs to get the welder dialed in.<\/p>\n

here’s gabe griding down one of his test pieces..
\n\"\"<\/p>\n

one down 3 to go tomorrow..
\n\"\"<\/p>\n

tonight a bunch of us went to an art show at Heron Dance<\/a>.. Heron Dance isrun by Rod MacIver.. an artist and writer in Monkton. he does very interesting work.. he sends out a near daily newsletter with his watercolors and his journal entries. Diane occasionally sends me one.. I’ve found several of them quite profound.\u00a0 The show was nice.. I liked the art and enjoyed speakign with Rod and his guests..<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Afterwords, we all went back to Jen and Tim’s for dinner and SamStones making.. It always feels good to come together to make stones for Sam.
\n\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n
