UPDATE, FINALLY!

WOW! It's been a crazy few months here around the homestead. After battling the flu, walking pneumonia & strep throat for 3 weeks straight, our household is finally "sickie free"! Going through all of that put me a tad behind in the shop, but I'm back on course.

Currently working on the oak crib for my friends uncle. Its the same pattern as the crib I build for my daughter, but we changed the spindled back to a solid panel. Its a lot easier to build the second time around! Here is a rendering of what it will look like:

She also wanted a "huge" bookcase for her new family room. This will not only house their collection of books, but also family pictures and home decorations. Bookcase will also feature puck lighting. Approximate size will be 12' wide by 8' high.
 
 
 
And last but not least, a repeat offender (!) wanted a third storage bench, so I drew this up:
 
 
So, If you dont hear from me for a while, I'll be in my workshop beneath a pile of sawdust!  Mark
