After about 10 years in the workshop I’ve learned several important lessons.
A tight mask prevents dust balls.
The best lumber for birdhouses can be rescued from landfills, the side of the road, people’s garages or basements.
Pencils have legs.
And, among too many other lessons to list here today, I’ve learned that though the process of building an attractive, functional birdhouse - Oh, that’s the only kind I ever make! - is long, it’s also very interesting. Almost entertaining at times.
This afternoon I’ll attach hinges to back doors, paint several Coca-Cola signs, add a bit more trim and pack up two for delivery - right on time.
How entertaining is that!
