Friday, I spent a lot of the day working on some low bookshelves, in poplar instead of pine. Poplar is not my friend. I managed to get the basic assembly done, went out this morning to move it and broke the glue joints between the top shelf and the sides.
It has been reglued, and once the glue has set, it's going to get some dowels to help pin everything together, and perhaps the last few small pieces will be installed. But I'm not in a hurry to do it; it will probably be too cold to glue anything tomorrow and I'm not going to move the shelves indoors until they are fully assembled, sanded, linseed oiled and waxed.
I have been avoiding political comment recently. It's not like you can miss what's happening, and you're either appalled, as you should be, or you think it's a great idea and everything will work out fine. Just fine.
Don't count on it. But there are people far more well-informed than I am already beating that drum, and I'm tired of being Cassandra.

Hey, most of us believe you! ;-)
Individuallly, you can’t go down every rabbit hole and expect to stay sane. But collectively, we can. Pick your battles and support them.
Donating right now to Ukraine and not to turncoat politicians.
