So, it's the half term holiday here in England and as a teacher I get the dubious pleasure of entertaining the kids. Yesterday's project was to replace my little girl's art supply box, with her help.
This is the old, 'this needs fixing please, daddy' version
[attachthumb=1]
Measuring up and laying out
[attachthumb=2]
Cutting the curves with the trusty Trion. How I love this jigsaw. The TS55 is next.
[attachthumb=3]
Checking for sizes...at this stage Evie, my daughter, proclaimed with delight 'It'll never fit, you're bad at this.' RUDE. I blame the parents.
[attachthumb=4]
[attachthumb=5]
About to route the dados for the drawers to run in
[attachthumb=6]
Checking the dados do their, erm, dadoing nicely...the drawers float slightly above the shelves so this was important
[attachthumb=7]
[attachthumb=8]
Finished job
[attachthumb=9]
Not the most ambitious of projects I know, but we had fun making it and it kept her from going out to meet boys for another day, so it's a result all round.
Cheers,
Rick
