Hey all I just wanted to touch base again. I was excepted in the The Sawdust Chronicles 30 Day Woodworking Challenge. It's, as it says, a 30 day challenge that started on May 1st and Ends on May 30th. The Project that was selected for the challenge is based on this Desk top Organizer. These plans are more of a starting point, so there is still quite a bit of room for my own design ideas. That brings me to today..

So far I have spent a couple of hours sketching out different ideas for the desktop organizer, I have a few ideas that I am working with and I am hoping that with some more time with a pencil, sketch book, and then with a little time using SketchUp, I hope to nail down a design for my project. Today I also visited my local Woodcrafters, to price some of the different types of wood I am thinking about using... The wood was a little more expensive then I had anticipated, so I am going to get my design lined out as much as possible so I can get a better idea of how much wood I am going to need.

On another note.. This week is Shop Safety Week, The bloggers in Woodworking blog-o-verse will be posting shop safety tips all week, check them out at The Wood Whisper Network.
