The biggest mistake you could ever make
is being to scared to make one.

It was a great day yesterday. After a lovely Mothers Day supper in Banff with Michelle and the kids, we watched Anna dance and then Jeff and I returned home. Jeff hit the sheets while I played in the workshop listening to the hockey game. Unfortunately my Flames lost and have been pushed out of the playoffs for Lord Stanley's Cup, but I did have some fun getting back in touch with my inner Gepetto.
I knew for years now that I will have to construct arms for the couch in Fillmore. I made a play on the old Bridal Rhyme "Something old, something new, something borrowed and use some glue." Some of the wood I was using for the box body was recycled, some was new, the wood trim for on top actually comes from a couch my parents bought back in the 80's and was gifted to us many many years ago. The couch is long since gone but I had a premonition that I might be able to use the uniquely shaped wood one day!
The arm frame is quite simple in design, I will take it to an upholstery shop with the extra material I have and have it padded and covered.
I decided to add a little future flare, the wood trim on top is hinged. The plan is to have an airplane style table tray that will emerge from the arm.
Some day.....some day!
