Merry Christmas!

I've been very busy at work lately, getting home late and sometimes coming back after the kids are asleep. I've also been out in the shop before work & after everyone's asleep trying to finish the Christmas presents I am building for the girls (shhhh... don't tell them but I'm building a doll cradle for each of them). Lots of trial & error, plus as usual everything is taking about ten times longer than I figured it would. Last night they were glued & screwed together, and the holes filled with plugs cut using a Veritas plug cutter. After trimming the plugs used to fill the screw holes early this morning and some final staining I should be varnishing them tonight with any luck. Then tomorrow I can varnish again, and maybe again of needed. Then hopefully the varnish will mostly cure by the time we leave for Christmas.
