This morning I started building a piano bench. There is one in Carol's bedroom. She has a fan on it pointed at her head. I am building one like it using weathered 2x4's.
I began by cutting them to length. Three feet. I trimmed booth edges and planed both sides. When I rip the boards I use a push board to protect my fingers. Today I didn't. I had my gloves on and my thumb hit the speeding blade.
You glove above has a hole in the thumb made by the saw blade. I rushed in the house where Carol put several band aide on my thumb. There was not much pain. That really irritated because I had to quit work on the piano. bench.
My smart phone does not give a very bright picture. Other times it does. I cut the rest of the boards and glued them together. This will make the top of the piano bench. It is 12 inches by 36 inches. With one sore thumb I was able to carefully cut the rest of the board using a push stick. I put glue on the edges and clamped them together. I will remove the clamps in the morning.
Carol went visiting teaching and I watched the BYU channel for an hour until she came back. I had a grilled cheese and baloney sandwich. After lunch I set at the computer for over an hour preparing the ward history.
This evening I removed files from my file cabinet. There were a lot of old catalogs, invoices, and other things that I filed away years ago. I filled a large box and they are headed for the dump.
Comments and questions are welcome.
