With a relatively quiet week ahead of us, the ability to walk for an hour without crutches and crippling pain and, perhaps most imporant, access to my bench because there's no class going on, I get to start making a bunch of "smalls."
Chris, Kale and I are all contributing to what will likely be our next pocketbook – a collection of great-looking but simple projects perfect for a few hours of shop time and for using up all those scraps that are too large to thrown out, but too small to use in a tool chest, chair and the like. In other words, "smalls."
My first contribution? A cherry spoon rack, based on an antiwue Welsh example.
