"Squish-out" – something you love to see in cookies and woodworking/joinery, but not so much in subways and tailor shops.

Doing some glue-ups and it's gone pretty well today. A bit more cutting and assembly tomorrow and hopefully finishing this secondary workbench build.

After sketching for a few days, I guess I actually have to make some sawdust.

Putting together yet another workbench. This one for a corner of the garage, with some wheels and suitably designed to be level with the table-saw height for occasional alternative use.

I've been using #Waterfox as my main browser now (on MacOS desktop) for a couple of months, and it has been rock solid for me.

One issue though was that I was having a hard time telling which of my tabs was the current one.

I'm usually not interested enough in 'themes' to bother, but this motivated me. Thankfully a quick theme search and swap and the current tab is now super obvious.

Nice work

The high winds last week(?) stole our compost-bin lid. We searched in the snow, but found nothing. I was ready to make a new one from scrap wood this morning; measurements made yesterday.

But the weather taketh, and the weather giveth again. The thaw and rain turned up the missing lid somewhere we hadn't looked and, praise the thermometer, it's one less job this morning.

Fun when a little utilitarian object serves its purpose. Sometimes it's the small things that provide a little bit of delight.

An afternoon of pie making culminates with a cod and salmon pie just hot out of the oven.

Finished the pie I'm working on for supper and it's well into its baking.
Seemed like more effort than it normally is–maybe not sleeping well last night is the culprit. Got it done anyway.

The reward is in the eating.

Stopping for a tea while both I, and the pastry, chill briefly.

An hour and a half into a pie-making session. Into the home stretch.

I am not on my game today, easily forgetting things that need attention. But no tragedies and pie elements are almost ready for assembly and bake.

Jumping into a fish-pie making effort. This'll take up the remaining afternoon, and make a good mess no doubt.
