'Heart of Gold’ put me in the middle of the road. Traveling there soon became a bore, so I headed for the ditch.” – Neil Young, comments written for the liner notes of his 1977 compilation, Decade.
Been working all summer to get my garage and shed organized. Projects started but not finished abound! Trying to get them finished one by one.
Here’s one of the projects. I thought this was my first bit of furniture but it’s the second.
It was an interesting piece to build. The supports are L angle steel hit with a grinding wheel and lacquered. The shelves are 2×6 pine stained very lightly, hit with a torch to bring out the grain and coated with poly-acrylic to provide a bit of protection.
Was visiting family and on the way back decided to hit the One Nation Brewery in Williamston, MI as I had never tried their M43 IPA (delicious by the way).
Passed through St. Louis, MI on the way there. Geographic center of Michigan.
Spent some time last week in Minneapolis. Went to the State Fair, Paisley Park and the Ren Fest.
Good time was had. Also tried Grain Belt. Pretty good, drinkable beer. Below is a pic of the famous ‘Grain Belt’ sign in Minneapolis.
