I suppose you can have too many clamps. If you look carefully in the back, there is still one in the case. Cutting boards nearly finished - oak and walnut, end grain boards. One 10x16, one 22x16, one 30x20. Tomorrow the second walnut strip goes in and, hopefully, the grooves get cut. Then sand, oil, engrave, and ship Monday and Tuesday. .

Two cutting boards, maple and walnut, each 16”X20”. Glue up in the morning.

Well Spit!!!

New dehumidifier in the shop decided that the hose drain was not to its liking. Thus it peed all over the floor, all night. Once the area is dried out I can put the pipe clamps, the dowels, the drill press, the jigs for the band saw, the ladder, and the anvil(!) back in place. Then figure out why the (insert string of curses here) dehumidifier went wonky.
