Completed the outdoor shoe rack, looks much nicer than the plastic tray we were using before — and finally thought of something interesting to do with the small piece of teak taking up room in my shop.
Taking on a smaller, fun project: using a small slab of teak I picked up at an offcut sale many years ago to make an outdoor mat for shoes and boots.
Completed the hallway linen closet door. The top and bottom are open for airflow, as it’s used for bedding. Most interesting parts to me are the repurposed chair top used for the curve, embedded magnets to keep it closed, and I cut the grooves in the frame to house the cherry plywood panels by hand with as small as a lip as possible (about 1/8th of an inch).
This is nice to see from Fastmail: native desktop apps for Mac, Linux, Windows. I wonder if the FMail developer will call it quits now? www.fastmail.com/blog/desk…
I’m trying Asahi Linux on an M1 Macbook Air and it’s great, except that the battery continues to drain A LOT during sleep. That’s not so great. In comparison, I have a 2009 Macbook Pro running Peppermint OS that is also great with a battery in sleep that lasts for months.
Cutting the mortises for the hinges to hang the closest door I’m making. I always find this process a bit frightening.
This month, I’m marking four years with Fastmail and two years on Kagi in my ongoing quest to use better services. 🎉
Working on a long, narrow door to cover a narrow closet in our house where we keep sheets for bedding. The closet has a curved top. I’m using parts of a chair I got at a thrift store that perfectly matches this curve and plan to veneer it. We want to allow for air flow so this seems like a good solution.
Breaking down a sheet of cherry plywood with hand tools isn’t easy, but it’s mostly figuring out how to hold the work in place.
