Quinn's Birthday

When I asked Quinn what he wanted for his 10th birthday, "A Limo Ride Thanks Mama!"
He also wanted a Nerf gun battle with his school friends.  It was great that Carenza came down from Hamilton.  She told her teachers on Monday, that she went to her cousin's birthday, and played with guns.  An unforgetable time for everyone.

Happy birthday Quinn!
The best part - opening the presents!

Table pedistal

Now the interesting bit.  Erik is going to steam and bend each segment of the core, for the pedistal.  It is going to take at least a month to bend all the segments.

The first one!

The Table

Erik has decided to make a round table for the dining room.  I found him some recycled Rimu timber, and there is no holding him back.  The thing is, he needs to bend the wood.
