Tracking Time

Bill always takes the boys’ birthdays off and this year was no exception.  We just didn’t know when he blocked his schedule that the boys would be at camp.  So with the free day ahead of us, Bill decided it would be the perfect time to see how long it would take for him to cut out all 22 pieces for a single chair.  He invited me to come along to keep him company.

He went from templates to chair pieces in roughly two hours but more importantly, he gained confidence having one of twelve chairs was ready to assemble.

While he worked, we chatted and I knit.  It was a win-win for us both.

    Looks like Walker selected the ideal lumber for this project. Love the last picture showing such impressive construction skills. Really impressive is the photographers ability to frame the knitting, the use of the chain saw and also to take a one-handed picture.

    Actually, I think that might be a band saw.
