Because literally ONE PERSON demanded it!

Hi Cicely!

Jeez, it has been three weeks since the last entry, and pretty much nothing of any note has happened.

I'm almost done restoring my wife's old not-a-hope chest. 150 years old, and hopefully it will last another 15? I just need to get the brass corners in the mail and it will be all set. Here's a before and after thingy:

BEFORE


AFTER

Pretty big difference!

So we went outside this weekend, visited my guitar and got my wife a purse, and had some sushi for lunch. Good stuff.
NUMMY!



And at some point, I got my first Surly-Ramic. 



For my next project, I'm refurbishing my amplifier. It currently looks like this:






You can't even read the numbers around the knobs... which sucks because they go to 13! So new covering, new grille cloth, new knobs and handle and most everything else. *grins* I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT I'M DOING!

Hi, Joe!

I have no idea what you're doing, either. My ignorance rests on a solid bed of never-having-had-anything-to-do-with-an-amp, though, and is therefore of much superior quality to yours.
:)

The not-a-hope chest's refinishing looks lovely. So (in a different way, since I'm not a termite) does the sushi. Nomnomnomnomnom!

I hardly ever know what I'm doing until I start doing it.
