It’s been a bit for a handful of reasons but new stuff is coming! Couple of new distractions, boards, a box, a clock and a new name (recommendations/ideas welcome) since it appears Idle Hands has already had dibs called on it. Stay tuned and thanks for playing along.

First set of earplugs this spring and both neighbors just left within 20 mins of each other. 😂 Sorry.

Just getting back in the swing with the nice weather and full use of the hand. There’s been plenty of distractions though so here goes…
Distraction #74
“Do you think you could make me a scratching post?”
“Let’s find out”…

“Para las unas del Gato”. Birch log, Ipe base and a couple feet of rope. Secret stash on top for the kittys catnip. 😉 Fun little favor for a friend. ❤️

Rehab project #1. “The Fisherman’s Haul” - Tea? box with floating lid.
Since I’m not allowed to play with the big boy tools for a bit I decided to try something new. Designed and cut entirely on the Glowforge. 1/4” luan with poplar corners, epoxy and twine. Box measures 5.5” X 5.5” X 4” deep on the inside. Box itself is 5” tall with a total height of 14.75” to the top of the ring with the lid on. I’ve played with the net design before but when I started this one I honestly didn’t think I’d be able to pull of the top but here we are. And it does a great job of catching the sun in this place.
