From Rags to Riches

Saturday after Mr. Welder worked half a day, another row of onions was planted and the garden was tilled. Planting in the sunshine was way nicer than during the bitter, cold evening. The warm dirt made my hands happy.
Then a jig was built for the table saw. Here Mr. Woodworker explains how it works.

And on Sunday, the moment I was waiting for, he put the jig into use to build bookshelves!

After the boards were cut to length, grooves were routed.

Then the boards were slid, glued, and screwed into place.

A few areas needed a bit of notching.

Build Baby Build

My books need a home!

Yes, Mr. Welder is quite angelic.

All the way to the top!

After we purchase more material, we (I help removed sticky price tags and carry stuff upstairs so that should entitle me to say we) plan to do another smaller section of shelves on the left side to complete the book nook. It won't be long before the books can move out of their cardboard boxes into their beautiful mansion.

Herman came to inspect.

Daisy wasn't quite sure what all the cheering from her mom was about...
