Gathering on the Green, June 1, 2019.

Fine Tuning the Collection.

"Really, I have two dozen birdhouses all set to go. Only 12 more are needed."

I'm going to go out on a limb and say that Spring has almost sprung. In another 2 - 3 weeks the workshop should be warm enough inside - without two heaters in operation - for me to sort out an easy work schedule.

By 'easy' I mean easier than last year. Because the writing/research side of my brain has geared up over the last few months - and I have plans for a news column and second book re my Dad's Navy days - I want to downsize the agenda in the workshop and upsize the writing.

'Easy' definitely means no more Little Free Libraries, Swap Boxes, or larger pieces of woodwork (Rietveld chairs, Purple Martin houses, shelf units) unless my lovely wife wants something done.

I'm sure I'll still find time to work on sets of rustic houses using my large stock of old western cedar:


I'm sure I'll still build a few custom models each summer, to use up a pile of license plates or slates for roofs:


So, here's to an easier season in the workshop.
