Holiday Plans

[Fitzroy]

I'm finished working tomorrow until the 5th Jan, 17 days off, darn lovely. I'll obviously have a job list from my other half, and my boys similarly finish school for the holidays so I'll be entertaining them, but I should find a good few hours for woodwork/workshopping. On the list:

- There is a morticer on gumtree a couple of hours away - oh so tempting.
- My big box-joint router jig is ready for use on my coffee table project - need to find the courage to test it out, worried about cocking it up.
- I'm ready to install weather seals on the very draughty sashes in the spare room - will it stop raining for a few hours so I can whip them out, route grooves and install seals. Mother is staying and she's complaining the curtains blow in the wind, yes it's that draughty.
- The new workbench project has had no progress for 12months, is it time to take rough sawn stock to close to finished sizes? - a big sack of shavings could be incoming.
- The rough sawn components for making a garden sofa are likely now dry enough to bring to finished sized - That's 10 mortices per seat unit, hmm that morticer on gumtree is even more tempting!
- An early woodworking career kitchen bench, which is very Fred Flintstone in design, is ripe for cutting up, thinning down (so it's liftable), and rebuilding (so it looks much finer) - hmm opening another work front with other unfinished projects,

So many options, which way to go! What should i get on to in my time off? What are your plans?

I’m hopefully going to build a storage shed ( so all the garden stuff can come out of the workshop) and a log store.

Have had the timber for a while but not had the time to do it start to finish til now.

Also need to get some more shelves up and sort out.

On the house list I need to finish the gas meter cupboard, rerun the cable for a WiFi access point, fit some trim to the underside of a window sill, paint the window surrounds and sills, paint a wall in the kitchen, fit the door handles to the utility room door, sand and paint the utility room door, sort out the attic and finish boarding it, take out a transom window and clean the glass then refit, repaint the hallway,
The list that keeps on giving

Hi

You may start with a storage shed but they will multiply as you fill the first one!
