Another project done … brought this with me to donate to the park. Some old ceiling fan blades, part of my old mailbox post and a table leg. Thanks to the artwork of Ranger Karley, this will hang at the nature center for many to enjoy.

Working remotely with other people’s tools and a makeshift shop is a challenge. But Myrtle Beach State Park is about to have two new signs for there Nature Center once they get out of paint. (More to come). Now it’s onto a bookshelf that looks like a tree. 🤔 Wish me luck.

Picked up a couple of $5 stools at a thrift store and taught a valuable lesson to one of my students. Never sand veneer with power tools. Made a new 1/4” cherry veneer laminated to the top. Second lesson learned: Mistakes offer opportunities to create and make it better.

Spent a few days this week with one of my classes, teaching students how not to live in a “throw away world.” The iron on this park bench was bound for the scrap yard, but with 2 boards, some problem solving and fabrication, it will allow people once again to stop and enjoy the “non-throw away world” around them.
