Tetsu's carpentry, part two

It is starting to rain but Tetsu is outside sanding wood. Yes, he is back to carpentry. This time he is making me shelves.

As mentioned before, Tetsu is a wonky carpenter. I try hard to keep my mouth shut but this morning our conversation went like this.

"Tanya, I went to a different hardware store yesterday and they had machines to cut wood for you. That's a real time saver."

"Tetsu, I think most people have their wood cut by power saws. You're the only one I know who cuts wood with a rusted hand saw."

"Hmmf. It isn't much different from you doing your quilting by hand or by machine. When you quilt by hand isn't the time you put in and each stitch an expression of love? Same with cutting wood with a rusty handsaw. Each miscut and uneven joint is just an expression of love."

More updates on Tetsu's progress tomorrow. He's informed me that we will need to move the furniture around in my sewing room again because he is not making this a measured size. The rest of the stuff in the room will have to fit AROUND the shelves.

He looks like he is having fun and I will get a place for books and boxes and fabric stash!
