At this point in this project I’m beginning to feel like I might never get done....and that I will run out of logs before I cover the floor :0/. I’ve been milling the logs into as many 3x6” beams as I can. Sometimes it’s only 1, other logs have had up to 3 good beams… Continue reading Shop Floor Part II
I actually didn’t have much of anything to do with this phase :0/ since it’s a six hour drive to mom’s house, I wasn’t able to actually unwrap the piles of cute fabric with her when everything was ready for the shelves that were built in Part II to be filled.

I’ve had this Stanley no. 78 for a couple of months now and finally got around to really using it for the first time.
My husband did a bit of a trade and arranged to have some oak logs delivered :0).
This show case was manufactured between 1901 and 1926.
I was given this display case a little over a week ago with the hope it would be useful out in the shop. We’re not sure the exact age on it, but it could be up to about 100 years old.
