Thinking can be dangerous

I was just thinking about possible remaking the cross pieces of the frame.  I made the mistake of making them at demos and they are not as well shaped as I would like.  Yeah, they are just simple straight pieces except the shoulder of the tenons are not as well formed as I would like.  I might do one sample piece just to see if it is worth my time to remake them.  I think it will be.  More to follow.

BTW:  I'm posting a lot here recently because things are actually going fairly well.  I know sometimes the progress stands still but during that time I'm usually learning a lot.  Boring for the reader, fun for me.  :)

Boring? Never!       I can't wait to try making a die....

You know, dies was one of those areas that I avoided for a while but now that I've done it, its really not that big of a deal but it does make your life a lot easier to make multiples of something.  I'm thinking about making an acorn die since my GF's symbol is an acorn.

Well, an acorn will certainly be easier than a "a raven close maintaining a reed pen" die....
