My worse critic was always Heather, she would let me know if she did not like something i build. It became sort of a game thru the years. If she said i should had done xyz i would counter by: Youre right, but i did not have a tool for that, Ill go buy one :-)<br />And now you know why i have so many tools :-)<br /><br />Have a good trip, stay safe.

While I admire the skill and workmanship of high end pieces, the furniture of the manor, I wouldn't want to live with them.<br /><br />We kinda switch around, depends on who is at the table first.<br /><br />We leave in the motorhome for the PNW Wednesday, I'm leaving the portable workbench behind but taking the tools needed to carve and if I can find a place to fit the shave horse it may go with us.<br /><br />kenI'm a OK guyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11843155822153452980noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12079088.post-19548589978887708922020-06-06T20:06:48.751-07:002020-06-06T20:06:48.751-07:00that is beautiful and i love the place settings an...that is beautiful and i love the place settings and how it fits into the room. The trestle with tusk tenons is well done and very straight forward, honest joinery.
