When you’re building furniture for your home, that you’re going to use, you can take certain liberties in quality control. The fold out step stool from earlier this year split on the seat big time. In the first picture I’ve already used a circular saw to cut the crack out of the seat. The section that I took out is larger than the actual crack because that whole section warped upward by about a quarter of an inch.

I went ahead and filled the gap that was left with a scrap piece of white oak. I’ve been meaning to do this for weeks, and it is one of the many projects that I’ve been procrastinating. We use this stool to help my preschool aged daughter get to counter height so she can be involved in cooking and baking projects.

I had a very mild case of food poisoning yesterday, so I did not post and today is my Friday. This weekend I’ll be looking to make some shelves, organize the ice fishing gear into storage, and possibly try to crank out that huge butchers block table/cutting board. I’m definitely looking forward to that cutting board project to help with the summer cooking over the camp fire. I’ll need some longer chunks of wood because I’m planning on making it rather large. It’ll be at least one foot by two foot. maybe bigger. Depends on how much wood I have. Should be a good weekend with lots to talk about next week.
