Plan here

Rough couple of days in the workshop

Hi Everyone,
Well, it has been really cold here in Minnesota and Im afraid my tools have rebelled--my table saw and the band saw have both frozen up and cant be used right now. And its been so cold that Im almost freezing up myself so Im going to clean up the shop and shut down for a week or two until the weather improves a bit.

Bad news on the bowl front: the hickory bowl I made several weeks ago has cracked and is beyond repair. Im not sure if it was the cold or if the stress in the wood fibers was more than the bowl could handle but its cracked on both sides of the bowl and it cant be salvaged. Oh dear...

So Im going to take advantage of this shutdown and sharpen everything again and get ready for our next projects. Stay warm!
