Joining in

Brian glued and clamped the third bookshelf together today. We tend to bring them into the salle à manger to dry overnight, as it’s still generally too damp and cold to leave them in the workshop.

In the morning he removes all the clamps before we take them through to the library. The whole process is a bit unwieldy, but we manage between us.

As soon as this is done he is back in his workshop, joining wood, then planing and sanding it, ready to build the next one.
