Got the grass cut today, then burned a load of sensitive paper that doesn't go in the recycling (old bank statements and the like), cut a couple of overhanging branches to make it easier to mow the grass.
Then I tinkered with the table I've been building. I measured it and everything was more or less as it should be, but it was still slightly wonky and I couldn't figure out why. It was an interesting exercise trying to get a table leg into the miter saw but with a bit of fiddling I got it into place, and shaved a whisker off the two legs that looked like they were longer. Now it sits level, so I can press on with putting the rest of it together.
Now I've got a bunch of clamps deployed, joining some pieces of wood together. I took a strip of cedar that was once part of the ceiling, cut some short lengths of it, and am using them to make a little plinth for a couple of my wife's ornaments. I've got a smaller one that has set but shouldn't be stressed until tomorrow, and another one that's currently gluing. For a time I wondered if I was getting ahead of myself with the number of clamps I'm accumulating but just making this plinth is using all six of my 12" clamps, so I think maybe I've got scope for more clamps. Going forward I think anything much bigger than 12" is going to shift to pipe clamps - I've got the makings for two 2' clamps, or two 3' clamps, or two 5' clamps. I'm contemplating getting a couple more clamp heads, which will mean I can make two 2' clamps and two 3' clamps at the same time if I need them.
Prayers for you!
