Great walkthrough, I like the use of the miter saw to get those angle cheeks. Now what happened to that “malcontent” statesperson? Did she not win the Nobel peace prize?

Thanks, but don't get me started on the Nobel peace prize!

I have always admired the clean tight grained timber you use. What species is it?

Nordic pine -- Pinus sylvestris. It's very nice wood!

Lovely work, with both wood and words. Thank you. If you feel the anger rising, put the Mahler Resurrection on again. It can soothe the savage breast.

I will never tire of admiring your joinery or your meanderings into social matters.

Alan Watts said this, "Today we hear a lot of songs about love, and the mention of the big love thing on the way. You know what I would do? I would buy a gun and bar my door because I would know there is a storm of hypocrisy brewing".

Let the record note that I the wind is picking up. But that shouldn't be a problem for these windows or folk such as ourselves with certain perspective on the situation.

Yes, the wind is picking up and there are dark clouds gathering on the horizon. There's nothing I can do to avert the storm, but I can prepare to hunker down and to ride it out, and I can sow some seeds for what might grow after 'the sound and the fury' has abated. Interesting times we live in.
