The good news is that I made another batch of trivets, and I needed them at last weekend’s event. I have a few left, and I’m sure I will need them this week, too!
The bad news is that I blew up one blank due to a loose hold down. I’m still learning how to use my CNC.
However, I do know something about creating pretty trivets … and once again, the tri-color trivets were the first to sell at last weekend’s event. I believe I need to learn that combining different woods is the most important thing I do in the shop … according to my customers.
Maybe I’ll learn that someday. Meanwhile, I have 2 new product introductions this week – BIG introductions, I think – and they both feature single species. Hmmmm.
No one said I was a fast learner.
More to come as I burn the candle at both ends this week. I have 5 days of events to cover, and there are 64 new pieces in the garage woodshop needing to be completed. Sanity is in short supply, I believe … bear with me!
And bears are coming back! 3 of those are in the shop, and they will be finished this week. Unfortunately, those 11 chess boards … are still waiting. Like I said, no one said I was a fast learner.
