What I did for the weekend...

To keep it coin related, this 1918 Penny came in from the UK yesterday:
And I finished the new desk for my study, so I can study coins of course. It's cherry, my own design but Craftsman style more or less. It took about 6 weeks to build it working in the evenings and weekends, lots of mortise and tenon joints in this one. I finally got the last coat of finish applied Friday afternoon and brought it in today, I'll get a better pic after I get the study cleaned out so I can get to it.
And since I had so much trouble getting the glued up top perfectly flat my wife saw that Woodcraft had the Jet 16-32 drum sander on sale for 20% off and we went to pick that up instead of buying another coin or two. She's not being nice by the way, she must be angling for a new quilting machine or something.
Now to get in 18 holes of golf tomorrow and it will have been a perfect weekend.

And it's always fun getting another toy for the workshop, even if it's gonna cost more once the wifey gets her half of the bargain
