This was a pretty darn quick project, and the only slow aspect of working with the hand tools came from the opportunity to talk and visit with my family while working - and that's something I wouldn't trade for any amount of ease or speed.<br /><br />Thanks for the quote, I like it! <br /><br />Slice of pie?

But at the very least the kids would have to stand up against the wall and we all have to wear dust masks and ear protection. <br />And it wouldn't be as much fun.<br />I like the quote the folks at woodworking magazine used to have on their tshirts: "The things I make may be for others, but how I make them is for me."— Tony Konovaloff<br />And don't be so hard on yourself, most of us are wearing a little winter weight this time of year, and the winters where you are are maybe worth an extra piece of pumpkin pie.<br />-MartinAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
