Project Day 2

Here is what my project will look like when it is completed.
Here is how my project looked like at the beginning of the day. All glued up and ready for cutting out the many pieces. We started off learning about planes and how to use them and got right to work planeing. That was fun and useful towards the end of the day. I ripped boards to the correct width, chopped them to right length and them used both a jig saw and belt sander to do the fancy work at the bottom of the step stool. At the end of the day I still had a pile of boards but now they are all the right size and shape and are ready to prep for assembly.

I did get a little knitting in during the day at break times and after classes on the patio. The bunny photographer now has the beginnings of trousers. My daughter finished plying her yarn and ended up with 2 skeins of beautiful gray yarn with about 173 yards in each skein. This is all from one fleece and there is still more to be spun. It was exciting seeing it in the finished skein after first seeing what it looked like coming off the sheep.
