It has been a while since I last updated this blog; I have been on the road for a couple of business trips which have severely limited my shop time. Since my last post, I finished sanding the project and applied a coat of sanding sealer to help prevent blotching with the pine. I applied the first coat of stain and was very unhappy on how the top looked, scratches and swirls everywhere. So I took it back down and started the sanding process all over again on the top. These pictures are of the 2nd coats of stain (Red Mahagony), I am trying to color match the existing furniture in the bedroom. Everyone who has seem the toybox thinks the color is good to go, so now I am going to start applying the 3rd coat of stain and then start the finish. That is after I return from another business trip at the end of the week.
Oh, that dark spot on the driveway next to the freshly stained toybox, nope I don’t see what you are talking about? ;o)

It’s coming along nicely.
You know, it’s funny. I have some similar spots on my garage floor.

This is looking pretty good.
The driveway outside my shop is one that we are going to replace soon since the entire length of the concrete pad is cracked and broken in several places. So I have never been ultra careful about controlling stains and finish when I work outside on the driveway. But I still get yelled at for the stains and shellac discolorations that are on it because “they look tacky”. Go figure.

To quote from an editorial in the
Saturday Review of November 5,
1961 : “The issue is not whether the
American people should or should not
protect themselves against possible dis-
aster. Of course they should. The
issue is whether the American people
are entitled to full, honest information
about the nature of the anticipated dis-
aster and the problems involved in
adequate protection.”

We come then to the first point in
our twelve point preparedness program
for your camp:
1. Contact your local civil
defense office.
Tell them about your situation, how
many people there are under your care.
Describe the physical set-up of your
camp. Ask them for advice on build-
ing shelters and providing emergency
food supplies. Obtain and read all of
their publications. Determine how
much help might be expected to come
from the government in case of emer-
gency, and how much you will have to cheap vps
go it alone. The proposed Federal Shel-
ter Incentive Program provides a Fed-
eral grant of something less than actual
cost for certain shelter spaces meeting
approved standards, created in public
or private non-profit institutions, en-
gaged in health, education, or welfare
activities.
2. Plan, on paper, your
emergency procedures.

phase of your program. In any case
