I'll be teaching at Cathedral this Friday, which will also have a variety of nature-themed activities for children and adults.

My copy of the latest Regional Furniture Society Newsletter just arrived, and I'm delighted to see a photograph of a chair bottomer re-rushing a historic chair on the cover. He is semi-retired, maybe even fully retired now. He learned his skills from blind people in a workshop where he was employed to transport the workers.

Sometimes the smallest things can give you the biggest realisations. I started these socks a full year ago as a "quick project" and I've only just finished them. I guess I have been pretty busy. How long is it acceptable to pretend it's "busier than normal" before admitting that "busy is normal"?

Secondary realisation, chunky socks are much better than my worn out slippers, layered thin socks or any other combination of things I've been wearing all winter. I must take a lesson from the ancestors and just wear my kit more often. Literally couldn't feel the cold tiles at all through these beauties.

2/3 I removed the top from the base and got out one of my favorite hand planes.

As I got close to removing all of the damage I occasionally stopped to brush denatured alcohol over the top. This made the remaining damage more visible so I had a better idea of how much further to go.

I eventually reached a point where the damage was not immediately noticeable and I decided that there was enough top left that it would not need to be replaced, which made me happy.
