So I’ve been doing this hobby for a while, and honestly mostly all I’ve done is build my shop. So after I finished my gifts to my family, my wife cornered me and asked “why, exactly, has she not seen any benefit from losing my husband to that shop all the time?”
So, after a brief discussion I settled on a potato and onion bin. I have worked on it for about 4 hours now, and so far I have the design, and about 1/2 the parts cut, but not to final dimensions.
For the design, I found a model in sketchup and learned how to view it on my iPad. It is a very basic plan, so I’m revising it-giving the Peter-Touch.
I hope to have it done this weekend, but as always I have other requirements to do as well. We’ll see.

Mine has a long list of projects she wants. A couple times a year I try to knock something off the list. As I do, she adds to it.
