Since Easter isn't a big deal for me, especially since nobody gives me an easter basket anymore, I spent much of my morning and afternoon in the garage.
First thing I did was try out my drum sander attachment on the drill press on my first bowl. It worked great! I really did a lot of good sanding on the inside of the bowl and it is looking excellent although a bit rustic. Once I get the inside of the bowl smooth enough I will glue the bottom onto the bowl and then sand the outside on my belt sander.
I decided to try lowering my scroll saw so I could use a chair and give my right arm and neck some relief. It did help to have my work closer to my face, but I'm not sure I like it. I think the best solution will be to get a chair that is more adjustable rather than the old dining room chair I am using now.
Started on my big elk mural I planned out last week. Glued the patterns to wood and started cutting them. I really like cutting the animals and trees and mountains; keeps it interesting.
Finished some oak celtic pendants I started months ago, I am going to glue magnets on the back of them. Also sanded some of the kids puzzles I finished yesterday. I am going to stain them bright colors.
We might be going up to New Jersey on Thursday, and any trip to New Jersey means we will be driving right past the Woodcraft store in New Castle. Even though I really don't need to be spending money on fancy wood right now, I am already thinking about what I might get.
