Edwardian Hallstand

 

Edwardian hallstand

Based on an English Arts & Crafts original, this hallstand is made in curly white oak with counter inserts of locally quarried Indiana limestone.

The hallstand was featured in Fine Woodworking (September/October 2003).

Read more about it in my American Bungalow article “Harris Lebus: Arts and Crafts Style for the Trade.”

This has been a wonderful Saturday. We slept late, This has been a wonderful Saturday. We slept late, did some work, and I spent the last couple of hours working on my latest OCD revisions of “Shop Tails.” This was Mark earlier in the day, wearing his organic probiotic stole. Will you look at those back legs?!

After a day of working on the current set of kitch After a day of working on the current set of kitchen cabinets in the shop, the last two hours of which I spent routing and chopping mortises for traditional butt hinges,I am putting a few finishing details on this cabinet from a project shoot for @finewoodworkingmagazine before giving it to a friend. I went to cut a piece of wood for the shelf and when I turned around, the boss was checking the interior.

If it’s good enough for Dolly, it’s good enoug If it’s good enough for Dolly, it’s good enough for me. I got my hair done last Friday, in a manner of speaking, thanks to a lovely local business. I still have hair, but it’s much thinner and I haven’t had it cut or highlighted since July. With the prospect of 5 more chemo infusions over the next 10 weeks, I decided it was time to take some action. More hair is destined to fall out.

I never would have imagined myself getting a wig, but one of my best friends has been wearing them since she developed alopecia. I always think her hair looks great. So instead of this being an occasion for self pity (or worse), I’m giving thanks for good-looking hair. (And for anyone wondering about the cost, this cost less than a typical trip to the hairdresser for me.)

Kieran Binnie, I wish I had known you were struggl Kieran Binnie, I wish I had known you were struggling. For the past few weeks I have been meaning to send you a note just asking how you are. How I wish I had done so now. I will always remember you as a thoughtful, intelligent man devoted to your “best girls.” This morning many of us are wishing we’d known what you were going through and that we might have done something to help.

Happy homecoming. While I love the nurses at Bloom Happy homecoming. While I love the nurses at Bloomington Hospital, I am always thrilled to get home after chemo, which lasted eight hours today if you include the time to get blood test results back from the lab. Even better is Thursday afternoon, when I get this portable pump removed.

Joey absolutely loves Spring weather. He runs outside and rolls in the grass, then takes a nap. I tried to get a picture of him rolling in the grass but he saw me with the camera and thought he might be needed in the house. He is such a caretaker, like Nana the dog in “Peter Pan.”
 
The serviceberry tree is covered in delicate white blossoms. The daffodils are wilting rapidly in the sudden heat.

And I feel like a Christmas tree! There are so many colorful parts to this line that runs from the needle in my chest, which is propped in place by world-class bandaging. It’s no fun trying to sleep with this gear attached to your body, but thankfully it only stays on for 46 hours. It doesn’t hurt. It’s just annoying and unsightly, hence my preference for thinking of it as a string of Christmas tree lights. 

What a beautiful Spring!

My goal for the start of this kitchen was to get t My goal for the start of this kitchen was to get the carcases built and inch-thick paint-grade face frames on these cabinets before chemo tomorrow. Aside from finessing the curve on the corner cabinet, I am there. There’s still plenty to do before these can be installed: I will apply veneer tape to the bottom edges, which won’t have a face frame, screw in attachment cleats and apply the backs, then sand. At that point they will be ready to install, and I will start building doors and drawers. Slower progress than usual, but I’m happy to be back at it.
