So today the kids are at the cabin and my wife is playing baseball. Its a carve-a-thon!!
I will post updates as I take small breaks today.
9:00 , started to make the bench seat for a new tiki style bench.
(no pics)
10:25 , Bench top finished and side poles cut ,notched and test fitted.
Next update in a couple of hours at lunch time.
Hope everyone is having a tiki-riffic day ( what ever tiki is to you!)

Wife is okay ,
2 coats of poly have been applied to the mailbox
and I have roughed out 1 side of the new bench.
Yes it has flames around the eyes. Sorry to the purists, this one is for a die hard hotrodder so the flames are good.
I am cleaning up now and waiting for friends to arrive for a bbq. Sunday is a carving day so look for more updates later.

Thanks for the concern everyone. Betsy has a nice bruise but was lucky. I didnt carve much on sunday , spent a nice day with my wife.
Here is a shelf I just finished , it has 2 hidden brackets from ikea for mounting it to the wall.
Let me know what ya think, feedback wanted.

Very nice Rodeo! I can only imagine how heavy that shelf must be. Hope your walls are strong.
