Headboards are done. Just need to shellac the trim on the body of the platform beds. Then poly everything. Wanted to be done by start of school...
A ton of sanding remains. Started playing around with Shellac and tinting it towards this honey amber color.
My son wasn't too happy his sisters are getting two new beds, typical kid stuff. Took a break and built a scrap wood bird house with him. No...
Bed#2 fully assembled this week. Kid's approved!
Found it in Marshfield!
Got back to NH this past weekend and did some hiking. I'm now at 25 of 48 of the 4,000 footers. At this pace, I'm hiking 2 or 3 of these a...
Added the mattress rails, the bottom legs, and trimmed it out today. This build has taken up a lot of my spare time, but I'm glad we're going...

Only took me an hour to sort through the big box store. Mini Van's rule!
It's time to move our youngest out of a toddler bed and into a real bed. Our two girls share a room, and we were looking at all kinds of options...

I'm aware of these tools but have never used one. Any particular brand or retailer you'd recommend? When I lived in Pennsylvania, I feel like...
I kind of forgot that I had an active Chip Drop request for logs. Turns out I might have a guy coming tomorrow with a load of maple, though I'm...
Some more progress. Getting there, about halfway through this triaxle load. Who needs a gym.
3 to maybe 3.5 cords this old school New England winter.
