| The next project we are working on is a luminare. Wood is involved and so we did this nice little 2x4 project. The first thing I learned about wood is that a "2x4" is a lie. Honestly, when starting this project, all I knew was that I had in my possession a block of wood that was two inches by four inches in width and height. False. Back in the day, 2x4's got down sized to 1 1/2 x3 1/2. Everything I knew was wrong. Thought I should let everyone know. |
 |
| My first obstacle was convincing myself to enter the wood shop. Dust polluted air and sharp blades did not sound like a place I wanted to occupy. I did, however, manage to man up and use some power tools. I experimented with the band saw, table saw, and several other intimidating machines. |
 |
| I still have all body parts I started out with, which in my mind translates to success. The final project is pictured in the images below. This project has made me more confident about using power tools and hasmade me a pro at removing splinters. |
