Another great shot DA.    I see a few ripples in the water but other than that appears to be a better weather day.  Nothing better than being able to go out for a sail, quite relaxing.

Yes,  we had some very unseasonal weather for a day where you could wear a t-shirt outside.

You're very welcome.  

Nothing beats a t-shirt day.

This is the one. I really like it!

Thanks Peter.   I was surprised to see the sail boat as the creek had been so quiet that day.

Thanks.   Very unusual for January here.   -2c this morning and a white frost on the ground.

Had a good walk in it though,   went to look for the secret camp.

Yes we do,  although I got three nice flights in yesterday,   took advantage of a rare dry day.

Yes,   Wednesday was also dry but I went over to get some more mahogany to make a few more frames,   ended up milling up some boards 160mm x 50mm.   Came away with enough for 4 more frames which is 3 more than I planned.

I forgot to film the process of making the desk.
Something I regretted the moment I was done....

They are cut at 45 degrees and glued.  I use a band clamp to get them tight.

I assumed you used a dowel or something.
That is a handy clamp!

Bought an Akai MPC Live mk 2.
€ 1032,- new right now.
It was B-Stock € 962,- and I got another 10% discount.
I hope it fits my goals of getting more music done.

The large boards were salvaged from an old boxing club.  They were I stalled there for about 80 years so we’re really dirty before being resawn and thicknesses.
