Weekend Pictures

Posted by on
#1 Made this headdress himself (with help from Mom and Dad). It turned out really nice. The face paint is actually Caladryl Lotion, he has a bad case of poison ivy.

Working on the front of the bench for the utility room or....a medieval torture device.


Biscuits inserted, glue set.

There will be drawers underneath for hats and gloves. Boots and shoes will go in the box.

All stained and ready to be put together. (l to r) Front, Lid (a single piece of Cherry 17 inches wide), two ends. I hope to put it together this week or weekend and then work on the drawers.
