OK, better post again... wish i was a little further along but I got sick at the end of last week and with the mothers day weekend I didn't make it into the shop at all.

Last week, I was however able to finish my design of the desk organizer for TSDC 30 day challenge. I spent an hour or so brainstorming with a pencil and notepad. Then I spent about 4 hours all together in sketchup getting all the kinks worked out. I wcan post some pictures and the sketchup file when the contest is over if anyone is interested.

Today after work I was able to check out McKinley Hardwoods a hardwood and molding supplier in South OKC. I had not used them before, and it was a great experience, they have a lot of material on hand and were very helpful I would highly recommend them to anyone in the area looking for a hardwood supplier. I was able grab up all the wood i will need for the Challenge project, as well pickup some additional wood for a couple of other projects I have waiting on me.

Tonight I got an hour or so in the Shop/Garage so I did some rearranging cleaning and put my resaw blade back on my bandsaw. I am hoping that I will be able to start processing the rough lumber in the next couple of evenings.

I will keep you all posted.
