My father in law has been painting discarded wooden chairs that he finds and giving them new life. This last one was kind of a DIY project because he sent us home with the upholstery pieces and asked me to finish it. It’s been nearly a year, but when we see him in a few weeks for his 90th birthday, I can report that the project is complete. #chair #upcycling #upcycled #diy #maker #notwoodworking

It’s too hot to work outdoors for prolonged periods right now. So, I’m splitting my time inside and outside. I’m catching up on paperwork and video editing but I also put up dill pickles (half sour by tomorrow) and I’m very serious about the #blueberry jam. #onmyworkbench #maker #making #heatwave #woodworker #notwoodworking
