I’ve been away way too long. Building a new house and workshop.

It’s been a long time since I was here. Good to be back.

The two shiplap twin beds I’m working on are almost ready for paint. They look really awesome here in the workshop. Wait until they get finished, setup in place and have the bedding on. Very happy with them and love the shiplap look.

Got the side extension tables finished. And with the fence running the entire length, I can use stop blocks to get repetitive cuts. Very happy.

And that’s why we need so many clamps in the workshop. Gluing up of some bed legs. Papareds.com #paparedswoodworks #handcrafted #denvernc (at Papa Red's Woodworks) https://www.instagram.com/p/B1Y8tXWAwwC/?igshid=10a2nlvr6qnbs

Working on some black walnut, cherry and maple cutting boards. Just listed them on my website papareds.com. I love the choice of those three woods. They go together nicely. #paparedswoodworks #handcrafted #denvernc (at Papa Red's Woodworks) https://www.instagram.com/p/B1W7cVSAHSt/?igshid=17gpol38x3zz7
