Well, there are no big pieces left.

I have cut everything down to length and am looking at which pieces to glue up to make each of the larger pieces. It’s all easy when I run it through my head, but when you pull out the glue it all seems to come undone.

Because Nate is so interested in getting his night stand done, I decided to pick a few tasks along the way to let him take part in the build. How hard can it be to put some glue on the edge of some boards? Putting it on was easy, but keeping it on the board and not on Nate was the trick. We had glue on all the parts and I turned my back long enough to grab a clamp. Oops…….he knocked over the first board and stuck it glue side first onto his shirt.

Yes, in the last picture of Nate he is picking glue out of his belly button.

Rough glued

Rough Planed (still needs work)

After waiting a full day, I used a power planer ( thanks Todd) and belt sander to plane it down. Still needs a lot of work, but it’s starting to look like something.

More chips to come.
