if I had a hammer... and a compound mitre saw...

Since moving to Ohio, Andy has a little more time for hobbies and projects. He even has his own space to work in... no more saw on top of our entertainment center!
Andy is building a bookcase. A monstrous, behemoth of a bookcase! It will be built right into his home office. The bookcase will span an entire wall... about 14 feet! The base will have drawers and cabinets. The top will hold tons of books.
It is fun to see Andy work with his hands. It is fun to see it all coming together. It is not fun staining wood... but we are getting past that point in the project.
I have been impressed with Andy's woodworking skills... he has never made anything with drawers before, this is new territory.

Good for him. I'll bet it's nice to have more time to do those things. Good luck w/ them, and good luck w/ the drawers, they can be a bit tricky. Hopefully we'll get out there on our way to NEW YORK.
