It was a rainy day - first we've had in awhile.  So no outside work today!  I ran errands this morning, including picking up some more polyurethane and contact cement for Jim at Lowe's.  At Home Depot, I picked up a sample of the color we are thinking about using for our kitchen cabinets - exciting!

Jim lightly sanded the top of the workbench this morning...

Then put another coat of polyurethane on top...

While that was setting up, he went down into the metal shop to work on getting the chipper ready to go.  He changed the oil, got it all greased up, went and picked up a new battery for it, and then put a new set of blades on it.  When he bought it, the guy gave him a new set of blades.

 Quite a difference between the new and old ones!

Jim is using his sharpener to sharpen the old ones so he can switch back and forth as they get dull as we do all the chipping that awaits us!

At the end of the day, Jim took 2 big bags of sawdust down to the end of the driveway and a new person picked them up.  This guy will take as many as we have so that's good since Jim will be making quite a bit in the months to come.
