the deadline from hell

 

 Three weeks before Christmas I get some great news from my publisher that a book idea we had has been picked up by a publisher in San Francisco. The only problem was the deadline was for the end of  January! That's making, photographing, writing up and supplying basic illustrations for twenty woodworking projects. What we have here is a lame excuse for not blogging for the past few weeks. My Christmas was spent holed up in the workshop day and night, frends and family assumed I had been abducted by furniture loving aliens or some such thing. As we approach the end of the month I find that I am thankfuly on target to finish the book with only the last four thousand words to write, all the projects compleat and only one last photo shoot. I promise to get back on track with the Blogg with a posting next Friday about a fantastic local reclamed timber yard in my local town. Thank you for sticking with me.
