So much to do, so little time it seems. Did manage to get the deck built in the past week. I need to get moving on finishing the roof and siding but not enough nice weeknd days.

What to do on a long Christmas weekend? Build a small cabinet for my desk at work!

Haven’t worked on this in a while, made it but could not keep the lid from warping so I set it aside. I made a new lid and it also warped, removed the sides and clamped it bent it slightly backward and put the sides on. This seemed to work but to be sure I let it sit with one coat of finish and sure enough it warped, I wet it and clamped it bent the opposite way and was finally able to get it flat. Sometimes the smallest simple projects prove to be the difficult ones.

Wendy bought me a ReMarkable for work, it needed a case so naturally I decided to make one. Came out pretty good, I am having a little trouble with the lid warping slightly but it will work to protect the device.

We bought a bar cart for the new sitting room but of course it had ugly wood, 2 glue ups later and it matches the bar.

Everyone seems to have a “COVID” project so here is ours start to finish, Wendy Lawlor designed it and I built it. The entire bar minus the backs of the upper sections is solid oak ( that is oak plywood), the trim is very detailed, the fronts of the shelves are steel painted black for strength. The refrigerator and wine cooler are recessed into rooms on the other side of the wall. We utilized every bit of space as you will see with the L shaped drawers, the joinery is all high end, box joints on the drawers and the doors have a bead that is part of the rails and stiles so they had to be hand cut at the miters that join them. LED strip lights light the shelves and LED recessed lights in the soffit provide extra light when needed. The only incomplete items are the final trim at the ceiling and floor which will be installed once the room is finished. We have some pretty cool plans for the paint in this room so stay tuned. I hope you enjoy the photos.
