It has been a while since I posted a #woodworking project. This is a small 3-leg #staked #stool that I made this summer. Just made out of a softwood 2x6 (I think spruce) as a bit of a prototype and practice piece. Next time I will use some hardwood and make 6-sided legs, so I can add some stretchers between them. Some mistakes were made, notably I had to re-drill the leg holes as my first try did not have the correct angle. But it was a fun project, especially playing with spokeshaves to make a round, chamfered top. The build used a surprisingly large amount of tools. I think I counted over 16: saws, plane, spokeshaves, measuring tools, drill, chisel, etc.

@giflian@techhub.social Good to hear he had a life jacket on: could have easily been a tragedy without one. Great work by the rescuers. As a English Bay dinghy sailor, I have a slight fear of Howe Sound as the winds can pick-up quickly. The race team from my sailing club occasionally goes to Squamish for high wind sailing practice. Anecdotally, it seems wind/weather forecasts have gotten more unreliable lately. Though, I still always check them and the currents before getting on the water.

First spring #sailing of the year from the #HollyburnSailingClub on Sunday. The wind died on the way back and I ended up rowing home. When I launched, a church group was doing baptisms at Ambleside Beach. It was warm out, but the water was pretty cold. #WestVancouver

@AmeliasBrain I just backed up my list of followed accounts and bookmarks.

@kdnyhan I am still surprised at how much easier biking is after adding air to my tires. I need to check my tire pressure more often. I did oil my chain yesterday, but only because it started to rust from the rain.
