    Every so often we are inadvertently given the opportunity to make a difference in someone’s life. I was reached out to and asked to make a frame for a picture that was to be a surprise gift.

  12. Journal Nightstands Part 3

    I "think" this is the third part, but the new format makes it hard to tell. Anyway, I glued up the carcasses after staining the drawer web faces for the three that are stained. I put on some drawer runners (have to pad out the inner rail offset: I fitted the top. Since the top is the upper...
