The splint is off, the occupation therapist tells me I'm so close to 100% that there's nothing more she can do to help, and my back is recovered enough that I can consider time at the workbench without cringing. All that means that it's time to get back to work, and to writing!
I have a few projects in mind for the next couple of months, and two of them tie neatly into the "Woodworking on $1.50 a day" series. Those two are a Japanese-style toolbox and a small, portable workbench (the "Milkman's Bench", from Popular Woodworking). I'll definitely be doing writeups of those.
The third is, potentially, an enormous nightmare. I'm looking at replacing some of my old particle-board shelf units with Jefferson book-boxes, which is a LOT of dovetailing. I'm initially looking at two stacks, probably around 12 boxes or so. If they go well, though, I may be trying to make enough for all of the books in our house... I've got no idea how many books that actually is, but I'm pretty sure we broke 3000 paperbacks quite a while ago. So I'll have to consider carefully before actually starting this project.
In any case, I hope to be writing something meaningful again soon!
