We have lift off!

Stage one of the cupboard manufacture is under way. I think the man about the house feels he has bitten of more than he can chew, but hopefully, with tactful encouragement from me, he will persevere and finish the job, soon.
The cook top is square, which is causing some problems design wise. He bought some extra timber this afternoon, to make the frame. He was complaining about the cost of it. Three lengths of pine, four metres in length, 19mm x 40mm. It cost him $18.00 and he thinks that is exorbitant! He has also set up his electric saw, but said he has nearly burnt out the motor. His big bench saw does not cut straight, and he has not used it for seven years. I know it is that long, because he started to make a big chest of drawers for our daughter when her eldest was born. I hope he doesn't lose heart before he completes this job. Watch this space!
