Test fit up

Finally feeling like I'm making some progress(very little but some). Test fit the parts for one piece, if you have not guessed it is a lamp. I am making three lamps to enter into the show I wrote about before. A little more sanding to go and this one will be ready for stain.

  Because this piece needs to be stained before it is put together it is VERY important that everything fits just right before the stain goes on. If the parts don't fit after stain, take ten steps back and start over. The moral of the story is ALWAYS test fit parts before you put them together for final assembly.

  Stay tuned, all three lamps must be completely done by Saturday.

Work in progress

  Here is the latest project I am working on. Any guess as to what it will be? I have made a few of these pieces before for friends and family. The ones I am currently working on are for a jury show with i made it market http://www.imadeitmarket.com/  To apply to this show you have to submit photos and be chosen to attend.

  Stay tuned to see the progress.
