Noah B Woodworks

I had a brutal day of work last Friday. Everything was going really well, then right at the end of my shift an email hit my inbox that really sent me into a negative spiral. I did not retaliate, and I when I got home I made some music. I’m still pissed even after the weekend and it’s making me wish that I did not have to work anymore, much like the rest of the US.

I was able to do some woodworking on my Saturday morning. I got a late start so I cleaned the shop a bunch and then when my family woke up I was able to take measurements for a shelf that my wife wanted me to build. I ended up building this shelf to be 5 or so inches wide by 3 feet long. I found the 2 studs in the wall and they were on 16″ centers. I used that measurement to apply the perpendicular supporting pieces to the shelf. I’ve attached some pictures of the shelf.

I got super lazy yesterday morning and did not end up doing anything in the shop. I played around 4 or 5 hours of a video game and made breakfast for my daughter and myself. My daughter somehow got sick AGAIN at her preschool. She’s been sick now four times since she started late last fall. It seems to be very mild so she’s getting over it pretty quickly. It has been really wet in our region, but I’m gearing up to do some more outdoorsy stuff like camp cooking in the back yard on weekdays. It’ll be good for my daughter and help her to get outside. She’s getting much bigger and with that, she’s getting more and more involved in these activities which is awesome.
