Adirondack Chair Project and Outside Stuff

So, it's been a while... sorry. Charlene and I have been very busy lataley - I know, not busy enough to not be able to take 20 minutes and put together some new pictures and write some stuff down on a blog - but busy enough to stay continually stressed out about school and such - and whatever Charlene gets stressed out about (I've been in an NDSU/Subway black hole the past 2.5 weeks - I don't know these things right now.) Fortunately I have 2 dead weeks before finals so I've been able to focus on some hobbies - both productive and completely useless ones. One of these such projects (one of the productive ones) is an adirondack chair that I'm building from scratch. I found some plans online, collected the tools, and then the materials and now whenever I have free time and the weather is permittable I'm usually outside building this thing - the part I'm working on right now is the curve on the top of the chair.


Charlene said she would help me today so at the time I was cutting this she was sitting on the chair to keep it steady. Charlene has many talents and being a giant paperweight I guess is one of them. Taking this into consideration she has such a bright future! Just wait until she's pregnant - she'll be able to hold down so much more! Anyways here's another picture or two...

Annnnd here's the finished cut - fancy, eh? (yeah, I'm not Canadian but we're close enough to be influenced by them.)
So, if any of you come and visit us we can grill some wonderful vegan food for you and you can sit on these wonderful chairs! So, all of you can consider this as an incentive to come and see us! We'll have another blog up when the chair is finished.
So yeah, unfortunately there was rain coming our way so we took a picture of ourselves - Char couldn't keep her eyes open for the picture so when it finally worked she over-corrected and instead looks like she's about to shout something crazy, such as "THERE'S NOODLES IN MY SHOES!!!!" (just an example)

Here's a screen shot of the radar. It was hailing as I wrote this.
OK, that's it for this time.

  2. I remember working on things with Grandpa in his shop when I was too young to be helpful - I envy his shop, one day I hope to have a shop like his.
