Shop Aprons ?

I spent a little time on the cabinet today, cutting a rabbet / rebate for the back panel to fit in. An unfortunate router bit slippage left a gouge. It will be really had to see inside the finished piece, I'll probably just glue in a patch. However, distrust of the machine forced me to complete the task with chisels and router planes. Now for an argument against dragging a project out as ling as this one: I stacked the rabbeted case on top of the back panel so I could scribe the panel for trimming. Much to my surprise, rather than being about an inch wider than the case as planned, the panel was a full slat too narrow! Somewhere in the downtime between shop sessions, I managed to lose track of the measurement. The rest of my shop time today went toward milling, shaping, and gluing 2 more slats to the panel to ensure enough width. Argh.

We’ve been getting a fair amount of rain these past few days. My neighbor sent me this and said he was glad he didn’t heed his wife’s demand to get rid of the old tire in his back yard. 

Brush the coats of milk paint and then rag the the top coats.

Mostly food, but maybe some flowers to fill in free space. Though we still have a lot of space in our veggie garden for cut flowers too. 

Paul, do you spray or brush?
