I forgot to post progress last week because the house was madness for the bulk of it, but on 29th we got counters!
I like the floor tiles… what did you guys use?
They’re ceramic, but glazed to look like pickled wood. Imagine red oak with grey pickling and you’ll be pretty close.
Sounds like a FLW house, actually.

+1 for a batch disposal!!!
I thought exactly the same thing!
Gorgeous. You’re giving me kitchen envy!
Lovely!
And you were working with studs all weekend.
While researching my next project, I found out that there are lots of different styles of handbags and that there’s a handbag museum: Simone Handbag Museum
Just finished a scarf that I’ve been working on since March.
I got the yarn for free from someone who was clearing out her stash. I love the yarn color and how it turned out, but I may not be able to wear it. The yarn’s 100% wool, and might be a little too itchy-scratchy for my silly neck.
Here’s the pattern, in case you’re wondering!
Maybe stitch a silky polyester lining on the underside?
Every year in late Spring I help my wife’s 4th grade class make a short stop-motion animated film. Last week we did “Animals of the 50 States.” Sorry to any who were left out, there were only 34 students.
In case you didn’t see, because I don’t usually read BBS only posts either, and technically I only “made” a hat band (but put together prop guns, and had parts made for me) - I made a Shadow costume. It was fun. Now it needs dry cleaned…

Either way, arts are such an important part of a good education, and recently they seem to have been left behind in our testing focused schools so it’s great to see a creative class art project that also teaches skills like stop motion. Cool video!
Yep, that was them. Basically the whole thing was just shot and recorded on an iPad.
That is adorable!!!
In my never-ending list of home improvements, I’ve made some more progress on some basement storage. This is a much cruder setup than my previous shelves- they’re supposed to (vaguely) channel Tom Sachs, and so plywood was the order of the day. And if I’m going to keep making stuff like this, I’m going to need a table saw. Just saying.
Anyway:
