A week of 01.02-01.06

Lance's demonstration of Shellac application.

Lance's lecture on birds' cages and battens for a tilt-top table.

I went a lumberyard with Paul today to bring lumber for the next project, a tool chest.
My primary and secondary wood will be mahogany and yellow poplar.

I really struggled with shellac this week.
Lance, John, Brian told me about shellac application, and their approaches were all different.
I made several mistakes and had to completely sanded 5 times, and planed/scraped/sanded one more time.
I was very frustrated but learned a lot from the mistakes.
I applied a couple of more shellac on the top today, just hope this one will work out.
