Friends:

I feel like I'm always telling you that I've had a crazy week, but it's really true this time. We got the heat back on, but then we got heavy snow followed by a heat-wave and such unusual rain that the storm-drains backed up and my shop flooded.

So, I went to Harbor Freight, bought a pump and spent most of Wednesday pumping several hundred gallons of water out of the shop.

Then today, we went to do laundry and discovered that the flood water had shorted out the washer. We have another, but it still had to be moved into place and hooked up and then I had to disassemble the old washer and haul it to the curb. The whole thing only took about 5 hours. Sigh.

So I hope you'll forgive me being a bit late this week.

I am very proud of this video. I make a complete bench with three tools and it comes out pretty great. If you're looking for an easy project or something low-stress where you can just settle in and enjoy the woodworking, then this might be just the thing for a cold winter evening.

It sure is a lot of fun.

Stay warm!
