Calliope Girl 37

Saturday

With a pile of rough teak in my way in the shop, I decided to get a head start on planing and dimensioning.  During the morning, I planed 11 boards (various widths and lengths) down to the finished 3/4″ thickness, and straightened one edge to prepare for final dimensioning into whatever trim parts I needed as the project continued.  I still had several boards to go, but but the planer blades needed to be changed out so I left that for next time, when I’d also finish up the last three boards.

Total time billed on this job today: 3 hours

0600 Weather Observation: 26°, overcast, snow shower. Forecast for the day: Mostly cloudy, 26°
