Initial Success

Jan has filled the new Jarrah cabinet with all her ‘Nick Nacks’.  I’m waiting on the delivery of the door catches from Hong Kong to complete the project. 

I’m delighted to report I’ve had some initial success with my seed germination.  Jan scoffed when I informed her I’d only placed one seed in each compartment.  Apparently multiple seeds are required and are then thinned out.  Why waste seeds?

Red arrows are my sprouting beetroot seeds and the blue are the spring onions.  Buying spring onion seeds may not have been my best investment as I noticed they we selling in the green grocers for $1.42 a bunch.  Still; don’t count your chickens before they hatch!

The trench for the power cable between the house and the workshop is begging to be dug, however I’m ignoring its demands until my back feels slightly happier.  In the meantime I’ve decided to do something about my Leigh D4 dovetail jig.  It’s been sitting forlornly under the bench collecting dust for far too long.

 

I’ve decided to make a storage case for it that will have a dual purpose as a mounting stand.  There’s some 12mm plywood in the garage which I’ll probably use.
