When you can't find handles/knobs for a piece? Cast your own.

12 unique set ups for rights/lefts and divider rights/lefts. Not too shabby.

Texts from pals from far away offering me book stewardship are the best.

Why I had two of the right size Fernco fittings on hand, I have no idea. But clog cleared. Dishes can be washed. A new clean out and plug will replace the Fernco closest to the drop to the main stack. That's a problem for tomorrow. Now, let's mop the floor.

Not how a great day starts.

Realized I could never use this much green Oak for a chair so I'll drag the smaller 4 pieces to make a Jenny chair over Spring Break. The larger log I split in half and just turned it bark side up until Spring semester ends in May, and I'll try to make another Jenny chair. 🪑

First job of the new shavehorse, chamfering the dumb end of some new gluts. Here's two of the remnants of the old ones.
Is this Gluttony?

Off to finish splitting a 27" diameter, 9' long Black Oak armed with these new gluts.

Small log quartered. The big one put up a fight and all my gluts splintered to bits. (Gluts are disposable hardwood wedges). Went home to make some more and going back in the morning to finish the job.

In other news:
I feel like someone tore my arms off and beat me with them.

Black Oak. Starting with the 'Small' one. It's going a little better than I'd hoped. Might have material for a Jenny Alexander Chair build in late March.

Borrowing a detail I've seen @khud1.bsky.social use on some of their pieces this morning. Maybe a little different and maybe scaled down. Shish-kebob skewers to the rescue again.

Promotion after 16 years. Should have gotten my MFA instead of an MEd. This would have happened 10 years earlier.
