Number 1


First Goal: Build a useful piece of furniture

I have had a pattern for an adirondack chair for more than five years now. I even let someone borrow it so they could make one, but haven't really worried about making it myself. Now that we almost have a real backyard, this summer is the time to build!

Here's the catch... my husband has taken over our shop. It used to have three sections: the back for storage, the middle for my tools and sanders, and the front for his tools. Slowly, it changed. It was my fault... I said he could keep the lathe he bought to make pens on one of the counters. Then I got busy, and the next time I went out all my tools were unplugged. At the time I didn't care, but now I want my space back!

So here's my action plan:
March - find pattern & figure out materials while husband is around so he has fair warning
April - get cleared to actually do something and build my strength up again
May - do cleanout of middle of the shop, buy materials
June - build and be happy
