Trip to the Boston Public Library

+
I made a trip to the Boston Public Library, which was exceptionally beautiful.
I made a library card, and now can access to its online collection.

A week of 12.12-12.16, the last week of the 2011 NBSS

+
We all celebrated the end of week of the 2011 NBSS in the final hockey game.
A great, cheerful gathering!







++
The Shaker nigh stand was milk painted, the drawer pull was turned.
Applying shellac was postponed to the next year, however.
I'll come back to school next year.
Farewell my NBSS friends!

A week of 12.05-12.09

+
Lance gave a lecture on bent laminations, another interesting subject.
A lecture is a convenient time for instructors to make announcements as well.





++
My project got many dents, splits, scars by accidents, needed to be fixed.
I had to do a lot of steam ironing.


+++
We will finish this project in next week before the winter break starting 12.19.
The remaining stuffs are making(turning) drawer pull, and finish it by milk paint and shellac(french polishing?).

A week of 11.28-12.02

+
We started this week by installing runners and kickers.
I had a non square drawer opening, therefore needed two different blocks for install kickers parallel to runners.

++
We all sweated by making a drawer.
I wasted 3 drawer sides, and had to ask Bob for lumber.
Lessons were learned from mistakes, though.


+++
I managed to finish the drawer, drawer bottom, and the top.
Now, remaining things are fitting drawers, installing the top, and turing the drawer pull, which will be done next week.

A NBSS way of preparing for Christmas.
I entertained an idea of making a puzzle for a Christmas present, but quickly gave it up. ;-)
