I was tidying up the shop the other day and Sarah came in to ask a favor. Usually that means I will be fixing a shoe or shortening a belt, but this day it was a different project. She had gotten a hold of some furniture and wanted to alter it to make it useful. The whole project is a little ambitious for a beginner, but I think it is a great opportunity. I love to teach, and in my experience, the excitement a beginner brings makes the project better. So, we got started.

Taking down the surface of the feet to make the parts fit.
