The entertainment center I built in my house back in 2012. At this point, it didn't have the two doors to cover the bottom two shelves in the middle.

It took me a day to figure out the books I wanted to place on my new bookshelf and get them in order. Here is what it looks like with, more or less, all the books I wanted to put here. When you have lots of time on your hands, it's the perfect time to do projects like this. I hope everyone out there is staying safe and healthy!

This is what my newly-finished bookshelf looked like the next day, Tuesday, April 14th, 2020. When you are trying to avoid catching the corona virus that's infecting the world, you have plenty of time on your hands when you're at home so much.

This was the space in my bedroom where I decided I needed to build a new bookshelf. This is what it looked like just before I started building it on Monday, April 13th, 2020.

A friend of mine hired me to replace the stairs to her mother's deck. So, that's what I did this afternoon - the Thompson's water seal wasn't even dry yet when I took this shot. Taken on November 1st, 2016, with my Sony SLT-a77v DSLR.

In high school shop class, this would have been around 1978, we all made a picnic table frame out of heavy steel pipes. Mine never got finished, that is painted and wood mounted for the top and the seats and it sat around doing nothing. Through the years, one of the legs came off. So, Monday, June 16th, 2014, I dug it out and re-welded the leg back on. Then I cut some boards for the top and seats and mounted the ones for the top. I didn't have carriage bolts long enough for the seats, so Tuesday I had to go to the lumber company and buy some. Also on Tuesday, I wirebrushed the metal all down and painted it with a gloss black rust inhibiting paint. Then I mounted the seats. Yesterday, Wednesday, June 18th, 2014, I used some Minwax to stain and coat the wood so that it would be protected against the weather. Here it is in it's finished state. It weighs a ton and the boards are two inches thick - it ought to last a long time.
