Hope everyone has a safe and happy Christmas Eve!
Since it was Christmas Eve, Jim didn't rush down to the wood shop this morning - he had some computer work to do first. Once he was there, he continued to work on moulding pieces. Here you can see he's making the relief cuts on the back...
Jim had listed the old press on Craigslist and spent time today going back and forth with a buyer. Jim moved it to right outside the garage doors for easy loading (and so we don't have people in the carriage house!). The guy came out mid-afternoon and picked it up. Perfect timing - now Jim can assemble the new one and put it right into that space. We did work with the company about the missing piece, but Jim wants to build a different base anyway, so he got started on that...
The new base is all tack-welded together...
It was baking day upstairs today - Mom and I made Jim's sandwich bread, pasta and this evening we tried a new recipe - cranberry rolls with cream cheese frosting! They are so pretty - they are now rising in the fridge til we bake them in the morning. Hopefully they taste as good as they look! It's our tradition to have cinnamon rolls on Christmas morning - we thought these would be fun to try.
