Well, the doctor gave my retina a clean bill of health - no tears!!!! clapping So construction has resumed!

First, I am about 75% through the task of identifying and counting the remaining number and types (measurements) of 2 x 2's that I will need to complete the benchwork. When I've double checked this number, I will place the order and have them delivered. These will need to be shellaced.

Today's work was about attaching the remaining table to the wall and to its neighbors.

I can't recall where I read about this technique. I want to drill clean holes through the 2 ribs that form adjacent tables. If you clamp another board to them and then drill, you get a clean hole.

Here's the clean hole!

I am using a 4" carriage bolt, 2 fender washers, a lock washer, and a nut to hold tables together.

Here are the two tables bolted together.

I am also taking care to drill holes in the ribs to accept wiring. That will be harder to do with the table tops installed.

Finally, I attached the table to the end wall with 3" drywall screws.

Hopefully, more tomorrow! wavey
