The lighthouse id finished, but if we'd read the Warning placard before we started, maybe we wouldn't have. Luckily the squirrels can't read and don't wear hoodies or sandals.
Our good friend Paul IV taught us a lot about carpentry, passed along from his Dad Paul III. Lumber can have surprisingly sharp edges, one thing they liked to do was to ease the sharp edges of a piece, like we did below. We used a 1/8th inch roundover bit on a DeWALT compact trim router, and we also ran over the surfaces with 120 grit sandpaper. to take off any grain fuzz left behind If power tools are not handy, you can flatten the edges with a hammer, and Paul would do that on some new build furniture just to give it a vintage feel, years of loving use, passed down generation to generation.
Bruce approves.
There was a bit of family conversation over how long it would take the local hooligans to find a peanut on top of the swing and ring beam. The answer? About 9 minutes.
