Chair is done! Proudly taking it's place in my kindergartners room, so now I have a comfortable place to sing lullabies from.
This was Chris Schwarz' bull💩 chair, made entirely with supplies from the big box store. The next one will be a bit different.

Elon Musk is calling for Donald Trump to be impeached. Donald Trump is calling for Elon Musk to be deported. Both sides have a point.

Robert “Ed” Smylie, the NASA official who saved the Apollo 13 crew in 1970, has died at 95. He cobbled together an apparatus made of cardboard, plastic bags and duct tape after an explosion crippled the spacecraft as it sped toward the moon. nyti.ms/3Sbusb3

Haven't had time to do too much in the shop, but a little chip carving while the wee one is at sports practice makes the time go quick.

There is always something you can do to gum up the works of fascism.
A story. Claude Cahun. The queer nonbinary French-Jewish photographer.
Nazis conquered France, were training soldiers on Jersey, where Cahun lived w/their partner, Marcel Moore.
They did disinfo & morale smashing via Surrealism.

Sky help! What is the best way to make a mitered rabbet joint for a small box? Specifically, how to do this with hand tools? I have some power tools but I'd like to do this quietly, even if I need some specialty Stanley no. XX. Or would it be better to just cut a miter and use splines?
