Measure once, cut twice - Measure twice, cut once. . .

I must have been tired yesterday becuase I placed the legs of the third benchwork section, not flush with the top of the bend work resulting in mismatched heights with the other benchwork sections. I also cut one of the 1x4 boards 1/2" too short. The leg problem was easily corrected and the short board can be fixed with a 1/2" shim.

Jasmine (11 years old) wanted to help out too. I had Jasmine measuring, cutting, drilling and installing legs on one of the sections. It's funny, but she "bonked" me in the head with a piece of 1x2. It didn't hurt (that much) but it was a good leason for her to pay attention and to think about safety while working with power tools, wood, etc. I also had a similar encounter with Megan; she dropped a metal ruler and the sharp edge almost went into my hand. Another good leason for her on safety.

Here is Jasmine measuring the legs for cutting and the 1x2 boards for the cross bracing.




















































Her is the result of Megan, Jasmine and my efforts so far. . .














































We like to keep our dog, "Lady" outside with us while we work.
