Jus
t finished carving up five seats tonight. It seems funny that
there certain seats are "in" this year. Pine cones, Blue heron, and Elephant to name a few! All the pictures are new and unique from all of last week.
The Otter seat is new, but there was a time when it was popular as well. So tonight I opened up the sanding table
to empty the vacuum shavings and remembered that I had not yet posted a picture of the inside! The addition of the fan inside the collection box is amazing!
It creates just enough downdraft to suck the lion's share of the floating dust down into the collector. While hooking it up, I mounted the on/off speed dial on the outside so I can control the fan without unplugging it. I still have to work on the front bins, but with a couple seats already for tomorrow, I probably will be carving instead.
And, just to bump up the "cute" factor, Cheryl snapped this picture of the cats eating. Usually the "kitten" drives the other two away from the food while they play "musical food dish."
But somehow they managed to stay put long enough for this picture to be taken. Have a great week everyone!
had nothing else to do but work on my sanding table. 
It's SO close to being done I can't hardly wait! Basically I put in the bins for the top. I have been giving it lots of
thought, but it still was rather challenging. I first 
decided that I would make the drawer, then install it. And although this did work, it took a lot of time and fussing to try to make it straight and right. So, for the last two 
I decided to just build them in as I went. That went a lot easier but does not look as pretty I guess. Bottom line is that they work and I can now fill them with stuff that has been cluttering Cheryl's painting area for months ( years?) I scrounged up three mismatched handles and put them on to finish the outside. I discovered that I now have to add a small piece of wood to keep certain things from rolling out when the bins are closed, but that should be easy. 
The rest should be cosmetic small things that hopefully I won't forget about. And what would a post be without a picture of the shop cats. Rash and Red are both curled up in the nest. This used to be common but they don't sleep together much since we got the kitten.
