Modification

Seems that the retractable castors on my bench needed some modification.  When I would move the bench on anything but a perfectly straight path, the 2x4 would want to follow a straight line. This would put a lot of stress on the set on the outside of the curve.  Solution was simple; just put a piece of the same material used to make the upper pivot on the bottom of the assembly to cradle the 2x4 and keep it in tight to the bench.

Modification. 

Must start using the camera for these as then I can at least rotate the image.

Working on the kitchen drawers. Almost finished with the fronts; used 1x4 hardwood scraps that made it all the way from Alaska. Then a lot of sanding, some varathane and THEN I can get to some assembly.  I will document with the camera and post as I go.

Weather is good for it.

Stay warm.
