Regrettably I do not have the right bit for the fasteners this thing is put together with so I can’t get at the vice hardware. Gonna smack it with a dead blow mallet and maybe jostle something loose

I wonder if an off the shelf surfboard rack for a bike could carry a reasonable amount of wood. I don’t have anywhere to keep a bike trailer. Maybe I could take the front passenger seat out of my car temporarily lmao

Apparently three reps in the house died so far this year! That's a lot.

Donut is sort of getting it. He doesn’t want to go into any rooms in the house when we are playing this though. Sometimes he will know where I am and just sit down and wait for me to come out instead of running over for a treat.
He’s an enigma.

They got the wax ring under their toilet replaced yesterday and the leak is fixed. Now I gotta figure out replacing the water stained drywall and see how bad it actually is back there woohoo

Not a constant leak I think it starts up when the people upstairs are doing something in the bathroom. Already talked to them about this a few days ago and they said they’d have someone out but maybe didn’t yet. Will have to talk with them again.

Calling these things "sprints" was a pretty bad idea in hindsight

Finished the bits and glued it together. Total mess lol. End result was pretty rough but I learned a lot the hard way - which is the best way to learn things. Next one will be better! And designed to be put together much easier.

I’ve got some birch wood on the floor for the sides of the next one already!! I’ll maybe use this thin stuff on the top and bottom and make like a two tone box. Still going to be a lot of work before this one is done if I keep doing tiny dovetails haha

My dog has taken every single one of his toys in here while I’ve been ignoring him and working

i tried to size it so I could fit one of my tools - so a little long! eventually it will be covered on all sides except one and there will be a pull out drawer type thing. The thin wood is probably a little too delicate for stuff more sturdier than pens and pencils lmao

I’m still thinking about this carved stone arch.
