According to some, I've been way to slow in keeping this blog more updated, so ...but hey..in my own defense, when things are slow here..then reporting is going to be slow, but i did get out to the shop this last week and created a project....i needed a cutting board for when i make rolls or biscuits. so i made this one. Its 14 1/2 x 24 i was very pleased with it, there is a funny story here though, as i went to use it for the first time, i put the dough on the board and started to knead it , when all of a sudden the board broke in half. i thought i handled it pretty good by laughing, there i was..first time in its use...I'm all happy doing my dough on the new board and the thing just collapses down the middle, well it got set aside and i finished my biscuits on a small plastic one...so , come Monday , i will return it to the shop where it will be repaired.....so the saying goes...when your making good dough and things go wrong, just crack a smile. Here is the board before the crack.
