Welcome back sports fans. Clearly it's been a long time since I've posted anything on this blog. What can I say? Northwest winters and early spring weather aren't exactly conducive to projects when you've got to work outside - outside outside not outside in a garage or shed.
And of course real life is going on at the moment with the spring rowing season ramping itself up for a chaotic two month stretch. We train for 10 months for 2 months of racing and that's stretching it out. Typically we're talking maybe a month and a half. Dedication.
So what's on the project list?
1. The headboard for my bed. That needs to come out of the storage area and get finished. I've decided that I'm going to skip building a frame and instead settle on getting a metal frame plus a box frame. I've spent my spare moments trying to design the rest of the frame for the bed and I'm either not pleased with the results or the thing would be so big and awkward that I'd probably need to wait till I was in my next apartment/house before starting it.
2. The wood chest in the garage. I'm going to clean it out - it's full of old model parts and such from my days as a young boy - and look into replacing the handles on it with some fancy knobs. This is a very low intensity project but it's one that will be easy to finish.
3. My old Chevy S-10. I need to replace the front brakes, fix a slow leak in the rear axle, put on a new belt and replace the hinges in the door. Despite the complexity that this list lends itself to, the door hinges will be the hardest part and they are relatively easy. Then it needs to be washed something fierce and then get sold.
So that's the project list for now. Stay tuned!
