Teetering on the edge of summer, I've decided it's time to go...cordless! Today I wandered over to our local Home Depot and looked around. Came out with a beautiful piece of 2ft. x 4ft. 3/4 in. plywood for my coffee table. You remember, the one I've been trying to get built since...forever? And I splurged on a Ryobi starter kit consisting of a cordless drill and a cordless skill saw. Fortunately it was on sale this weekend, so I didn't feel too badly about spending the money. It's been awhile since I made any major purchases and I know I'll get my money's worth out of this one. I haven't opened the box yet, but I'm really excited. We used a cordless skill saw at a former job and I liked the smaller size. Since I won't be cutting large amounts of wood, I feel the cordless saw is all I'll need for most of my projects.
I have three designs worked out for the coffee table, but can't decide which one I want to build. That's what I get for taking so long to get the thing built. I keep re-thinking the design. This could get interesting. In the meantime, I'll keep stock-piling wood for the blessed event. I'll probably have another design in the mix by then!
As I stated in my last post. the goal for this year is to Focus on my art. While I have yet to sell anything (can I blame the economy?) I have been working hard to improve my painting skills. For a number of months I've been under the instruction of a wonderful local artist and even I can see the improvement. You can visit his websites through the ancientofdays link in the list at the top right of this blog. His work is simply awesome and we have a couple of collaborations posted there as well. If you visit, look for the painting of the cows. I'll be posting photos here of some paintings for you to check out real soon.
It feels good to be back online at home and not have to travel across town for only an hour's worth of internet. Just got to get back into the groove of posting. So until later, have a creative weekend, everyone!
